Much like in a pre-digital 24 track recording studio. apps like GarageBand, AUM, BeatMaker3, NanoStudio2, n-Track9 and others. It just occured to me that if nothing else works I could likely hook up my sequencer's SMPTE output, record the timecode on a separate audio track (through the Focusrite 18i20 obviously) and play back that track to the sequencer's SMPTE input again for syncing the next batch of tracks to record. Plug in a class-compliant USB MIDI interface and start sending MIDI clock. Is this correct? Are there other alternatives, or does Garageband 10 have some MIDI capabilities earlier versions didn't? Alas, I'm not able to download it from anywhere (all links are to the app's website which apparently is no longer around) and I read some comments somewhere about (I think it was regarding Garageband 9) it no longer working with more current versions of Garageband. I've been trying to find out more about Garageband's MIDI capabilities and it seems that at least earlier versions (couldn't find anything about the current version 10) needed an additional plugin called 'MidiO' to get MIDI out capabilities.

I need the DAW to be able to sync with the external MIDI sequencer so that my next 8 tracks (different synths/sounds) will be synced with what I first recorded. drum machine individual outputs, synths or whatever) in one go. With my Focusrite 18i20 I should be able to record up to 8 Garageband audio tracks at once, meaning the ability to input up to 8 audio sources (i.e. No, I'll be using an external MIDI-sequencer to trigger the drum machine sounds and play the various synth tracks, not the DAW.

It'll be running on a 13' i5 Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9.5. Is this possible, or do I have to learn Ableton Live 9 Lite, or even buy some other DAW? The Focusrite 18i20 has MIDI so I suppose MIDI sync is the way to go if Garageband supports it.īasically I want the Mac to act as a traditional multitrack tape recording studio with a mixer and effects, and have the ability to sync those tracks to a MIDI sequencer. 8 individual outputs from a drum machine, each to their separate audio track in Garageband so I can EQ and effect them individually), then record additional multiple tracks in the next go while keeping in sync with the existing recorded tracks. Having lots of 'old school' gear (synths, drum machines, MIDI sequencer etc.) I want to record several tracks at once (i.e. Route MIDI between apps drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard or sync with your external MIDI gear. So I thought I'd start out with the more user-friendly Garageband 10 to get started. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app.

I've just bought a Focusrite 18i20 audio/MIDI interface which came with Ableton Live 9 Lite which I find overwhelming, having no experience with DAW software from before.
