I've decided to foray a bit into using Garageband!
I've also decided that I want to just fiddle around and create some hopefully cool music.
I found this app called MIDIMouse(http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17469/midimouse) that lets you essentially use your trackpad as a MIDI controller.
I also have Garageband which lets you record software instruments off a MIDI controller.
Great. Garageband recognizes when I fire up MIDIMouse because it pops up a little dialog box saying "There is now one MIDI device available"(or something along those lines).
Now, from what I gather I just create a new software instrument, hit record, and move my mouse around and make music.
Wrong. Garageband doesn't do anything except record a track with nothing interesting, that is to say, it records, but there is no sound.
I download some MIDI monitoring app and MIDIMouse certainly does spit out information.
A little help here? A similar application?
TiA!
