Jessica, first open the track info pane with command-I. Then interact with
the track info group that appears right next to the layout area. select
"browse", and arrow over to the browser and interact. in there are all the
software instruments. VO up and down through the various lists of
instruments, playing your midi (or on-screen keyboard) to sample the sounds.
when you find the one you want for that track, just exit (uninteract) the
track info group. If you're using your keyboard as a music keyboard, you
turn musical typing on and off with command shift K.

Ok, how do you get to the place to select what instrument again? It's been
a while sense I've used the program, and I can't remember now how I got
there in the first place, so kind of need a memory refresher.

Hi,
First thing, you want to make sure your using musical typing. This is
turned on with command shift K. You also want to make sure you haven't
locked the track. If the track is locked, you will be prevented from
playing the instrument on that track. The toggle to lock and unlock a
track is the letter L.
And to select an instrument, create a software instrument track then,
interact with track info and navigate to the browse area.
hth,

I'm using the on-screen keyboard, and I can't remember exactly how I
managed to browse the different instruments, I just remember selecting
different ones other than "piano," turning the on-screen keyboard on, and
it not doing anything, so have no idea if I've gone to the wrong
department/setting, or what the deal is here.

you don't say what keyboard you're using. is it a midi keyboard, or the
on screen keyboard. Have you gone into the track info group and browsed
the different instruments?

Subject: garage band question.
I've just started using Garage band, and have just been playing around
with it, and so far can only get the piano portion of the pre-programed
instruments to work, which makes no sense to me, considering the fact
that my dad got this for his phone, and has been able to get all of them
to work, and has recorded several tracks with it. Am I missing
something here?
Even when I get the piano keyboard up and running, I can't figure out
how the keyboard itself is laid out, so even then, I can't seem to play
an actual tune on it, which is really frustrating, so any help someone
could give me would be appreciated.
