Hi Ricardo. Amazingly enough I got my email to sort of work on the mac. So, I'll still go for that genius appointment because I had to do some girations to get here. I did get this Midi to play. The first time another file I had sounded weird. I got the second one to play; it's really great M

Thats the beauty of it, it doesn't have to be anywhere special. Just make sure your in garageband with an open project. Press enter once just to make sure the file gets placed at the beginning of the timeline. Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore

Hi again Ricardo. I hope I don't sound too dense, but I thought of doing it that way. I saw all those choices when you choose new project. Where do you put your VO cursor so you can press command V? Regards, Gigi Sent from my iPhone On Jan 16, 2012, at 6:18 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, >

Hi, I just copy and paste. For example, I would find the midi file in the finder, copy it with command C then open garageband. Create a new project and then press command V to paste. Pressing space bar should then play the midi file. Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2

Hi Ricardo. Ok, as soon as I can. In addition to working today, I have a genius appointment, so it will be a little later before I can sit down and do it over again. The best I remember, I went to load existing file, found one of my Midi files and chose it. Then I got the message that Garage Ban

Hi, I'm not sure but, I doubt you did anything wrong. What an odd message to receive from garageband. If its not too much trouble, could you share the exact steps you took? Thanks. Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Jan 15, 2012, at

Hi Ricardo. As far as I know, I have whatever the latest is. I am under Lion and I have been careful as as I know how to update everything. I've never messed with Garage Band, so maybe I did something wrong. Regards, Gigi Sent from my iPhone On Jan 15, 2012, at 1:37 PM, Ricardo Walker wrote

Hi Annie. I guess I am about to be on another Mac adventure I haven't done yet. I can't figure out how you did this. I would like be able to hear my midi files I have, and the procedure you said sounded easy until I tried it. If you create a new project, where do you paste those files so that Ga

Hi Chris. Thank you for helping I am using the midifiles, because I am singing clasical, and I am not good at playing myself, and often I can find a midifile that can be used for training and learning. You are quite right midi are often rather robotic. Best regards Annie. Den Jan 12, 2012 kl.

Ahh, didn't try that and it saves from then having to clean it out of iTunes once the file is imported. I didn't play with orchestration as I usually am not satisfied with the default instrument assignments made. Even back when I played with assigning tracks to my Proteus rackmount sound module

Yup, just verified that I could do this in GarageBand. I had to load the midi file into iTunes so I could then find it in the Media Browser in Garage Band. Once I found it in there I did a copy and then went to the Arrange Layout Area, interacted with that and the interacted with the track head

I'm assuming Garage Band could do all this and more but at a minimum, QT Player 7 will play MIDI files and if yo open the AV controls you will find a playback speed slider. CB On 1/12/12 8:33 AM, Annie Skov Nielsen wrote: Hi. Is there a good and accessible program, that lets you play midi on
