The ReWire protocol is a software interface between sequencer and audio applications. Through ReWire, a host application can use a client application as an external instrument. With version 1.0.1 and later, GarageBand acts as a ReWire host, allowing you to easily sync other third-party software that supports ReWire as a client. Open the ReWire client application after you've opened GarageBand. The ReWire client automatically syncs to GarageBand's transport controls. The output level of the client application determines the input level of that signal in GarageBand. When you export to iTunes the GarageBand song and the third-party ReWire client audio outputs
If monitoring is on in GarageBand and playthru is enabled in Audio MIDI Setup (or other audio configuration utility), you will hear two signals, at different volumes and with different latency, causing a phased effect.

From the GarageBand menu, choose Preferences. Click General. Deselect the "Filter for more relevant results" option. Loops in a different time signature cannot be seen because they would not loop properly in your song. In button view of the loop browser, items may also be dimmed based on your instrument, genre, and mood selections. If you've installed additional loops for GarageBand, you will need to drag their

This can be caused by one or more of the following instances: The audio source volume is set too high. The audio interface's gain level or output level is set too high. The Input volume in Sound preferences is set too high. The track or master volume level in GarageBand is set too high. If you hear distortion in one of your Real Instrument tracks, play your sound
When viewing music notation in GarageBand 2, the notation that represents a MIDI recording or loop may not always match the exact rhythm that you hear. This happens because rhythmic values are sometimes rounded up to a longer value.
For example, a section of sixteenth notes may display as eighth note triplets. (To view the notation display, double-click a Software Instrument loop or MIDI recording?any green region?to open it in the editor, then click the music note button in the editor's Region pane.)
GarageBand allows you to adjust the notation display grid to make the music more readable, and it quantizes the
