429 Too Many Requests

Greetings,

I have used Garage Band for years without problem. In the last several months, when I make voice recordings, there is an unwanted echo. The ambience and reverb are off. I have tried both standard and voice isolation modes. The settings show that my microphone is the only one working. My phone is out of the room and the screen mic I believe is off. Feedback Protection is checked and monitoring is off. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the master track effects off?

Did you try in a new account?

I do not know if I am monitoring through the speakers. I doubt it. However, I can record in Logic Pro (a program I know little about) with no issues. When I move a voice recording made in Logic Pro to GarageBand, the voice recording when played in GarageBand has an echo that was not there before. This leads me to believe it is not microphone related. Your thoughts?

Keith,

It was the master track! I knew it was probably something simple. I can't believe I did not catch that. Thank you so much for your help. If you were here, I'd buy you dinner.

Kindest regards,

Mike

Hello Keith,

The set up I have is a microphone directly to the computer. No issues ever until recently. I have thought maybe another microphone could be on or a speaker somehow broadcasting to create the reverb. There are speakers and a microphone in the monitor; I have an iPhone, and there is a HomePod nearby. I removed the phone from the room. The MacStudio shows that the monitor mic is off. I cannot hear anything coming out of the speakers while I record. I do not know about the HomePod. Here is something that I have not included, I have Logic Pro. I tried recording with that, and it work fine. I just do not know that program at all (and I really do not want to have learn it), and it has far more than I need. I prefer GarageBand.


Is there a way to set GarageBand to original default settings and see what happens there? I am not tech savvy so my ability to troubleshoot is limited.


Your thoughts?


Regards,


Mike

Hello Keith,

I am not monitoring while recording. I record, playback later.

Could you be monitoring through some speakers?
