I'm sorry for your ailment, Brent. Maybe you'd benefit of some PT at home. Those back exercises have helped me a lot.

It seems that the main problem was my version of GB being very old (like 5.1 while the current one is in the 10's). I thought this was a music game like Guitar Hero, so go figure, I haven't opened it since this computer was new and running Snow Leopard. Likely OS upgrades won't upgrade GB. However without me realising and after several attempts, the sound banks got there and now I have a few more instruments available. Not all the ones I'd need, but enough to make it sound kind of right. Looks like the second matter, the one about making some sort of dynamic drive based on two different HDD is not feasible in OSX It'd make my life way easier.

The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.

I have nothing important to say, I'm no one to scold anyone in here. To my understanding there's something escaping my knowledge in this interaction. The pictures seem OK to me, but if they may be offensive to some members, it costs nothing to protect them with the spoiler or NSFW tags. As far as I remember, Knuckles does that when nudity is blatant. I'd be concerned if the pics were posted without the models knowledge, but I think it's fine if they want to pose like that and give their permission to be publicly exposed. They'll have their reasons and I don't think they are considering themselves like objects or toys for doing so. Nude human bodies may look like beautiful objects, like statues or gorgeous animals, or trees, the line between obscenity and beauty rests in the photographer, the model and the observer too. I don't find those pics obscene, yet nor really a work of art either, but nice to look at. -
Found it. Mine has no "view" menu on top but from your indications I found a button at the bottom of the pane which opens a secondary window with the score option. Now the tough part of transposing a score made for piano into a more usable guitar one a whole octave higher As if I were able to read music :palm:

The midi came from an online resource at Floydhead.com, no other information. As a matter of fact the website cannot display the page where the midis are supposed to be stored, but the file is there http://www.floydhead.com/PF_MIDI/Money.mid It seems that my GB lacks a lot of instruments, which are not available to download from Apple anymore. Using the ones I have available (some synth bass, acoustic guitar, a few types of organ and so on) I've managed to make it sound more or less OK, but the point is finding the score to play along the tune, which I've not been able to do. I've asked the mate who gave the midi download link, but he hasn't got back to me yet. Maybe he knows how to display the music score plot.

Something wrong happens to my GB. I've been able to see the individual instrument tracks. While some part of the program knows that one is the drums, other the bass and so on, and as such display in the central pane where the track advances (although no score and no way that I can find to make it show the music score), most of them just play and display on the left pane as "Grand Piano". I'm trying to change that assigning the right instrument to every single track, but now the damn GB says that it needs to download the instrument banks. This is not happening, it opened the Appstore but nothing is downloading Now that the drums sound like drums and not some devilish fat piano, this begins to sound as it should. Thanks for placing me on the right track The idea with the HDD is not really daisy chaining them but while having them plugged into different USB ports, forcing the system to handle both as a single larger unit, so no need to move files or changing disk id's to get software finding the files.

I can't choose instruments in preferences, there there's other stuff about midi output, looping, optimization for number of tracks or short delay, etc. However your suggestion, since the .mid file cannot be added to the left pane, made me to create a "new project". This opened a different window with just a "grand piano" track. When adding the .mid file there, it caused a crash and the program closed itself. On restart, creating a new project now showed plenty of instruments in a center pane, where I chose guitar. Now adding the .mid file was possible and it opened all the instruments into the .mid, but the sound is awful and I can't see any score to play along. Thanks!

Couple of Mac/OSX questions. I'm still using Mavericks, for reference. - I have a few midi (.mid) files which are GarageBand compatible, my friends can play them on their Macs using GB-9 and use them to rehearse their lines. In my MBP they won't play. At first they got a warning of not being "approved developer sourced" files, then I told the system to open them anyway, and now they won't play in GB saying "Garage Band cannot play Midi Audio files". Suggestions to fix that? I don't have other GB legit files to see how it works, but the program seems to open and work normally. The midis in my computer play as tunes if using other midi players like MidiTrail. What bugs me most is that my mates can play them normally using my very same version of Garage Band. - Is it possible to add more hard drive capacity to an existing external USB HDD by using another external HDD somewhat linked to it? On Windows one could use what they called "dynamic driver" so when adding more disk space, you could tell the system to handle that storage capacity as if it were physically part of the existing unit. I'd need to do this in order to keep a large collection of files which are individually handled by an application. If I added a larger disk and copied those files into it, I'd be forced to individually add those files into that application. Then the dynamic drive solution would let me just add more files which this application would see as "more of the same" as I already have.
