Garageband For Os X Yosemite
Jalisa Landgren
Hey there Patric, I just checked out the update info. Thank you . All of this looks and sounds good. Just a couple questions though. Is Yosemite a new & different OS ? and if so does that mean it will take the place of Mavericks ? Also is it free like the previous updates ?
you read my mind and answered my question, so thats great news ! I can lose Yosemite if I want to as I liked Mavericks a little more for the functionality but so far am VERY impressed with GB 10.0.3!!
the iap is about 14GB and I guess it took me 2-3 hours on wifi to download it all. I later purchased MainStage 3 which has about 50GB content and I downloaded it via LAN to speed things up. I did leave the mb on for the entire night though. 30 hours for the GB iap alone seems to be a bit long in my opinion. Maybe this is an issue with your wifi or lan connection? I did not stop the download in between and I am not sure if the downloader is able to pick up where it left of. For my home recording projects I use my old mid 2009 macbook (with extra ram and and an sdd), so your hardware should have no problems.
Hope that helps.
Hi Patrick, I have got a problem. When I make a beat and try to play it, sometimes. if not most of the times, it stops all of a sudden and gives a system overload error. What could be the cause for that and how can it be solved? Also, the sounds become muffled the more I add instruments. How can I overcome these issues. Thank you for helping.
Thanks for the great information. A question that might be elementary but I am just not finding: Is there a way to get new software instruments in Garageband 10.0.3. An couple of example: I am seeing just one flute, one piano, one trumpet etc. Are there ways to get more of these? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for your reply. When I asked my question, I had tried the recommended download already. To no avail. Apparently I have to do something at a System or Library level because oddly enough my GB 6.0 is still functioning, although at time strangely.
I like many others have had problems with the transition from the previous garageband to 10.0.3. 2 things mainly are , 1. loads of midi sounds & loops no longer play with 10.0.3 & my jam pack CD,s now seem to be redundant. There is a lot less choice than before & I have lost loads of things such as bass sounds & orchestral sounds. I heard somewhere that downloading MainStage 3 is a good option. Would you recommend it?
How do I change the key of the iTunes imported track only and then record my voice to another new track without changing that key also. i.e. lower the key of the iTunes track and then record my voice to the new song key.
I found a procedure for AU pitch, but that changes the key of all tracks even the voice as it is being recorded.
Hi! I just changed my hard drive and the people at the Apple Store updated to Yosemite, but Garage Band is not included, I have to pay to get it to my computer, it has always been free. Am I the only one?
Hello, not having much success conecting my guitar to garageband 10.0.03 using lead to connect to USB but the lag is horrendous ! Starts off without lag but interference for a few minutes , when this clears guitar sound is good and clear but the lag makes it unplayable. Any Ideas ?
Patrick, I am only seeing 4 choices for AU Plug in effects in 10.0.3. where I can insert reverb, compression, delay, etc. for each track. Other tutorials I have seen have a list of at least 10! Is there something I need to do in order to get a larger slelction. The box where the selections are made seem limited? I am running Mavericks on a brand new iMac. Thanks!
I currently have the app set up with a policy in JSS that pushes garageband to all devices but am unable to pre-install the sound library. Currently the end users are taking the time (about 20 min each) to install the sound library after the program installs. Shouldn't be a big deal but it affects the classroom time.
The only way I have found is to install both the app and the sound library and package it (I use Composer). I saw some other posts as well and the only thing I could gather from them was packaging it with whatever packaging method you prefer.
Ur welcome...I've tried pushing the sound library separately as we wanted to migrate to installing the apps through managed distribution, but no matter what I did it never noticed the sound library was there and wanted to download it each time. By composing, you don't get ability to update the app without having to capture it all again, but it prevents the subsequent download which was better for us in our environment.
Since moving to Managed Distribution, I've given up on installing the extra GarageBand pieces.
Also since we adding caching servers around the district, I've found that the few people who actually need this installed can do it fairly quickly (depending on your intranet of course). What used to take over 20min now just takes a few minutes for the full install to push from our Apple Caching servers (again depending on network traffic at the time).

No, however we have tech assistants at each building who can facilitate these one offs. It's still a pain we don't just have a pkg from Apple that can just be added but we deal. Gabe Shackney

I haven't looked at the latest GarageBand, but I managed this last summer with Composer rather simply. I will be working at this again in another week or two. If you folks are still having issues I'll try to circle back.
In our school district, we used a Mac with a fresh never before launched GarageBand.app install and then updated all loops and content.
All the content and loops "25GB" were in these directories. We could either use Target Disk Mode and copy over to devices via thunderbolt that really needed all the content, lab carts or the student could install the 25GB package from Self Service.
The original problem I always found with the composer solutions was that it never seemed to make the garageband extras index properly, so it could never see all the extras as "installed". Perhaps the newer versions allow this now?
I Install Garageband via the app store, then prior to launching the app, I install the extras. Garage band launches asking to download content. I skip the install and go into the program I see the extras as available. But each time I subsequently launch GB it asks to download content again... It seems stuck in a loop (see what I did there? a loop... getting the loops for GB, I get a loop) I cannot get the admin prompt to go away nor make the stupid thing realize its got everything it needs to run. Ive tried re-indexing with no luck
The trick to making it so it does not prompt the user to install the packages (even after you copy the files over) is to grab the receipts from /System/Library/Receipts. Because this directory is SIP protected, it's a bit tough. We don't disable SIP, so how I got around it was I made a new configuration in my jamf pro server that installed the packages (Logic 10.3, GarageBand 10.1.5, the content, and the index with the receipts in /System/Library/Receipts) and DIDN'T erase the drive. Set autorun data (or just netboot) to the new config and it copies the receipts and boom, no more password.
@Eyoung Yeah, it was literally a month and a half of tinkering to find the right files/folders. And then when an update broke my system, I nearly cried. Thankfully I figured that out in only 2 weeks... :/
The last time I packaged up Garage Band, I found that I needed to capture the receipts. You would need to go into Composer Preferences before running a capture, and delete the folder the receipts are held in from the exclusion list so Composer will find them. I think they are in /var/db.
I should mention I have not done this with the latest version of GarageBand. Now that it's free for Managed Distribution, I plan on deploying it that way but I will make a package for all the extra content. From the numerous posts Ive read on this subject, the latest version uses different sound file packages than the previous versions. I'm not clear if you need all that old content as well or just the new sound packages. I believe they are labeled as 2016 packages?
/rant we are not a music school.. this thing is for one teacher for one grade for one section of an elective music course and I am into week 2 of fighting with it /rant
Gives you an easy way to grab the content packages. What I then do is stick them all in a single DMG, cache that on the target Mac, then run a script which calls the installpkg utility, pointing it at that cached DMG. Installpkg then goes through and installs every package in said DMG.
