I have an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit that I would like to connect to my iPad and use it with Garageband. Right now, I use it with Garageband on my laptop and that works without any issues. I connect the drum kit at the USB-B to the USB-A on my computer with an old printer USB A-B cable, nothing special. Using Appleās iPad USB connector, you can even connect the DM6 Session Kit to your iPad to trigger Core MIDI-compliant apps. By connecting your DM6 Session Kit to your iPad, you can take full advantage of the world of iPad apps that expand your recording or performance pallete.
Alesis Dm6 Garageband Ipad For Sale
I just bought an Alesis Multimix 8 USB and I have a Macbook with OS 10 (bought it in December 07). I'm having 4 problems using the Alesis w/ Garageband and would like some input from anyone, tho posts that are already on here seem to indicate there may be no fix.
The first problem is that in order to hear any tracks I've already recorded (such as drums for instance) along with the TK I'm recording, I have to punch in both the Master to Control Room headphone switch (on far right lower right) and the Two Track to Control Room switch (in middle, lower right). However, the 2Tk to Control Room seems to create noise on the track. Is there anyway to hear the tracks already recorded and the one you're recoding w/o getting this noise?
The second problem is that I can get clean recorded tracks for the first few minutes that I'm on the MAC and Alesis, and then I start getting some noise after a little while, and can't seem to get rid of it.
The third problem is that I really have to crank the gains on the Alesis to really get any decent recording levels in Garageband, and even the ones I finally get are too low. I have all the things that should be set to CODEC set to that.
The fourth problem is latency by a few seconds. When I record my instrument straight into the MAC, I don't have a latency problem.
Any ideas???? Thank you!
