I use a brand new Macbook pro with Garage Band (atm) and it's really annoying when I can't record to a metronome. Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The best way is to buy some cheap metronome device, like Korg TM40. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I had this problem some time ago with Guitar Pro and Reaper. You can download a free ram defrag tool like 'Z-defragRAM" it cleans your ram and makes space for your recording software. It do not know if this is helpful in your case, but worked for me. Or you can create a midi track and sample a simple four beat, this is what I do when I record to a metronome.

So Ivan you're saying that my best bet is an external device? Even for recording? Isn't there a problem when synchronazing several tracks then?

I use a drum track in GB, but with both i never had the problem that the speed is changing. Normally GB stops to play if you have too many tracks, VSTs or CPU limit is reached. Which version of GB do you use? The previous version had some serious performance problems. It's better now, but it still need a lot CPU. Here the same .. the interaction with the application was more and more slow, but the playback was stable. How much RAM do you have? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Hmm, you have a point mate, it isn't the computer, it is definitely something wrong with garage then. Why don't you transfer to another DAW, like Reaper or Nuendo if you can buy it? That metronome is pretty accurate. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I've been thinking about Logic, that metronome should be very accurate (considering their price...) Or what do you think? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I use Nuendo and Toneport and never had any problems whatsoever, only when processor or RAM is badly overloaded. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
