1. Best Keyboards For Mac
2. Keyboard For Mac Computer

I just bought a new M-Audio Oxygen 25 USB MIDI keyboard controller for school (I'm a student at Berklee College of Music) and I'm trying to use it to record in Garageband. I put in the disc that came with the keyboard, clicked 'install,' and it said the installation was successful and I had to restart my computer, which I did. I then opened Garageband, plugged in my keyboard, turned it on, and tried to play it. Whatever key I press, I just hear the same pinging sound. It won't play different pitches, and when I try to record anything, the right notes show up onscreen in the track itself, but nothing plays back. The keyboard shows up in the Garageband preferences and in the Audio MIDI setup, so my computer definitely recognizes it, but I don't know why it won't play anything. I'm using Garageband '11 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5, if that helps. I'm a bit technologically illiterate, so if there's anything really obvious that I forgot to do, definitely let me know! I've never used MIDI before so I kind of have no idea what I'm doing, but I have a project due later this week so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks very much.

What Is GarageBand For Mac? GarageBand is a digital audio workstation, meaning it lets you record your own music with a possibility of using a library of GarageBand instruments, such as a GarageBand keyboard and a variety of other virtual keyboard pianos (even an online MIDI keyboard).

Which GarageBand version do you have on your Mac?

To close all windows of the app, press Option-Command-W. Option-Command-Esc: an app. Teamview mac forward command key. To perform a Spotlight search from a Finder window, press Command–Option–Space bar. Command–Space bar: Show or hide the search field.

GarageBand '11 does not have any smart instruments at all. The newest version, GarageBand 10.x.x. has smart drummers. And you can use the arpeggiator to play chord patterns. But otherwise you have to fall back on the loops to use predefined chord progressions.

However, you can play the smart instruments on your iPad and then transfer the projects to your Mac and continue from there. Only, the GarageBand versions on your Mac and iPad need to match. GarageBand for iOS and Mac: Project compatibility
