    GarageBand: Audio from Mics fades out and in - but NOT in Logic Pro, Voice Memos, etc.

    Symptom: When using GarageBand since early September, talking or singing into the mic (whether built-in or an external XLR > PreSonus Studio 68c audio interface > MacBook Pro), the audio faces out and back in on a track, almost as if there was a sort of "random noise gate" plug-in applied. (It...

    I use GarageBand frequently and between two devices, an iPhone and MacBook Pro. (The GB app runs different versions on iPhone vs MBP) I was going through files recently using the search feature in Finder, and buried in the package contents of different GarageBand project files I saved, I found...

    Buggy: Grageband 10.3.4 / 10.3.5

    I tried audio output in GB 10.3.4 and 10.3.5 using my Yamaha HS monitor boxes with Airport Express.

    iMac G4: How did people optimize it for making music? (MIDI rec latency issue)

    I'd like to occasionally use my G4 for musical drafting. I put an SSD into the iMac recently, but haven't updated the RAM from the 1GB it has now. I probably will eventually, but somehow it feels like it's not the culprit, or that it's not the only culprit to the issue. The issue is that even...
