Steps to Getting gbRemote Ready for Use

You will need to do a few ESSENTIAL preliminary steps that will only take a few minutes to get gbRemote operational. These steps are needed because gbRemote requires a (free) companion application called gbLink that is installed on the Mac where you have GarageBand. These steps usually only have to be done once, and then you can use gbRemote just like any other iPhone app. This is a summary, but you can read more about this in the user manual (see below).

Please also make sure you have the requirements before purchasing gbRemote (e.g. Wi-Fi).

  1. While using the Internet browser ON YOUR MAC in which you have GarageBand installed, go to the gbRemote product page on the Delora website: www.delora.com/delora_products/gbremote/gbremote.html (this page). Scroll down to the blue box below and click on the gbLink icon. You will be taken to a page to type in a security code, and gbLink will download to your computer. You cannot download and install gbLink using your iPhone.
  2. The file in your Download folder will be a ZIP file called gbLink. Double click on it to extract it, then double click on the gbLink.mpkg file and OSX will walk you through the installation screens
  3. Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click on the gbLink icon. You will see a preference pane. Click on the "Run" button, and 3 green segments will appear in the middle of the screen
  4. Close System Preferences
  5. Go to the Settings application on your iPhone/iPod touch and make sure Wi-Fi is ON for the same Wi-Fi network that your Mac uses

Start GarageBand on your Mac. You are now ready to open up gbRemote and start using it on your iPhone or iPod touch.

gbLink - Required for gbRemote

You must download gbLink using a web browser (like Safari) on your Mac, then install it on the Mac where you run GarageBand (not your iPhone). You also need Wi-Fi.
