Possible to do quintuplets in garage band?

Hi there, i'm trying use garage band to create audio of a piece of music i have, but i'm having a little trouble. You see, in one bar, I need to use a crotchet, then and eight note quintuplet (five semi quavers) followed by a quarter note triplet, and then two quarter notes. In order for this to fit into the bar and to sound correct I need to use the quintuplet, but so far I'm only finding options to add triplets in garage band, I'm sure there must be a way to do Quintuplets but I really cant find it, could anyone help please?

Well - let's say you want five quintuplets that add up to a quarter note (they would be written as eighth notes with a 5 over them, right?). Go into the Editor window, set your ruler to 64ths notes (using the little ruler icon in the upper right corner) and turn "snap to grid" off.
Now one quarter note is subdivided into 16 64th notes. Divided by 5, that makes about 3 grid lines for each of your quintuplets. If you stick exactly to the grid, the last one is four grid units long, so make each of them a bit longer, and voila, you have your quintuplets.
(And Zappa most of the time didn't play the quintuplets himself, but made his band play them! )

Create ringtones with Garage Band v.1.1.0?

I just purchased an iPhone 3G today, and wanted to create customer ringtones. I am using Garage Band 1. I can't figure out how to do it, and I'm wondering if it is even possible with this version of Garage Band. Anybody know the answer?

up towards the top of the window you'll see:
Apple.com > Support > Discussions > GarageBand > GarageBand '08
click on "GarageBand" and you'll see the GB1 forum

I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1. Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device? My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.

Hi,
If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to edit the voice of a song created in Garage band?

Hello to all!
Using music tracks, I am singing songs in different languages using Garage band. After I import these songs into my FCPX projects, is it possible for me to break up the individual tracks [the music track apart and the voice track apart] so that I may apply effects to the voice track alone?
Thanks in advance.

I am not an expert in GarageBand, but if you are exporting a single AIFF file from GB there is no easy way to separate those tracks.
Better to export them separately to begin with. I can't see an automatic way to do it, but it is not difficult to do it manually:
Suppose you are creating a song called "MySong" and you have a music track a vocal track (or several music tracks and a vocal track, the idea is the same).
1) Disable the vocal track by clicking on the little button shaped like a speaker. Export your song using Share->Export Song to Disk... and call it, say, "MySong-Music" (don't use compression, so that GB creates an AIFF file rather than AAC or MP3 - you may have heard numerous admonishments against using compressed audio in FCP X)
2) Enable the vocal track and disable the other(s) and similarly create "MySong-vocals".
3) Import both audio files into FCP X and (optionally, but probably a good idea to keep things organized) make them into a compound clip. Note that you'll need to open the compound clip's timeline and manually move one of the tracks below the other, as the compound clip will have them in sequence; but they are the same lenght, so there is no synchronization difficulty.
4) Make as many edits as you like

HT3988 how to connect external keyboard to the garage band if its possible

how to connect external keyboard to the garage band if its possible,
is any body tried ? I have roland e66 keyboard and im trying to
connect with grage band but i dont know thats is possible??

You can definitely just connect a mouse and keyboard and then an external monitor and it will work. In the power options in the Windows control panel you will have a choice as to what happens when the lid is closed. Set it to "do nothing" and then you can shut the lid of the laptop and use only the external monitor.

Is it possible to import songs (or export songs) saved on garage band to LP

Is it possible to revert to OS 10.4.8 and previous version of Garage Band?

I want to go back to OS 10.4.8 or at least reinstall the earlier version of Garage Band prior to Garage Band 08 which appears to be a buggy beta rushed to the market? Is there a simple way to reinstall the earlier version? Thx.

Thanks to all who tried to help. I copied the Garageband 3 version from my colleagues MacBookPro (we got them at the same time) to a thumb drive and copied it into apps. That got it back. GarageBand 3 works perfectly, although I did get a random stop alert (too many tracks), which never happened until I upgraded to OS 10.4.10. Also, tracks created in Garage Band 08 will not play on earlier versions of Garage Band. (I know this sounds obvious, but someone might want to know before buying the same upgrade I should not have bought.) Thanks again.

How to record from mini disc player into garage band if possible

I have some audio recorded material on a minidisc player/recorder which i would like to put into the computer to work on-can i put it into garage band 2 ? and if not is thier a free or not free software/programme i can download in order to record in quality what i have on the minidisc recorder.Also can you suggest any programmes/software (like cubase)which i could use to work on the sounds i have put onto the apple mac.

Again, mine doesn't have a USB port, so the only way to get sound on the disk is to record it through it's line in (optical or 1/8" trs). My mini disk player is old.
I think the new ones do have a mp3 import function (and a USB port or something similar)...don't know how it works though...I think that it just records them through it's line in though...
A mini disk is like a very small cd-r that is constantly record enabled (unless you switch the tab), like a tape casette. There is an algorythm that allows the minidisk to hold as much info as it does...that's where my confusion comes in about how it imports/exports.

I need help with cutting and changing an already made song in garage band on the IPad.

For a school pep rally I'm looking to write some music on drums that our drumline will perform in the pep rally. In the song although I'm looking on taking a few measures out of the song "Some Nights" by Fun. and putting it during a long rest we'll have for a really good effect on the song. To do this I saw that garage band had a sampler where I could cut music and play those cuts instantly with a touch of a button, and I was hoping that it would be possible that I could buy the song and some how import it to garage band so that I could play around with it a little bit.
I've still yet to find any way of doing this although and I'm looking for any suggestions you guys might have! The pep rally isn't for a good 3 or four weeks so I've got a good amount of time, But the sooner anyone can help the better!
Thanks for your time!
Matt

This is a poor way of doing this but the only way I found to do this is to record your music into the sampler using the microphone then record the sample. I don't like doing this because of clarity and lack of manipulating the track once created. It would be nice if GB added this feature. Also it would be cool if you could mix down the tracks into one so we could have more tracks to work with.

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

How do i make a DATA file in garage band

ok here is what im trying to do. i need to make a DATA file in garage band and i need to make it possible for the DATA file to be used on Pro Tools so the song can be mixed and mastered. any tips on how to do this?
LISA

What I assume you are trying to do is export a MIDI file. GarageBand does not do this, and I don't know of any add-ons which allow it (MidiO allows you to play out MIDI to an external device so you might be able to route this to ProTools). Of course if you do this you won't be using the instruments which are in GB, and the results you get will depend on what you have available in ProTools.
However you can export GarageBand tracks as audio and them mix them in another program. I do this in Cubase LE because its mixing facilities are way better than GarageBand's. This note will tell you how to do it, just substitute ProTools for Cubase:

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.6
Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand". Does this version still see your old projects? If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

Garage Band displays error message in Safe Boot

The old issue. When booting into Safe Mode, on launching Garage Band an alert pops up notifying me that "selected driver (~10200) was not found". My Mac came with Lion pre-installed, however since I upgraded to Mavericks after a week of owning it, I didn't have a chance to experience this issue, however in Mavericks both GB v6 and GN v.10 displayed this message when running the System in Safe Boot. I reinstalled Mavericks from scratch, then reset my Mac to factory. I'm now currently on Lion (native OS X) after 15 months again, am fully satisfied with its performance, I have installed iLife'11 from the retailer DVD, then updated via Software Update utility and - partially - via Apple's Updates pages to the latest possible version of iLife'11. However when I started up in Safe Mode GB 6.0.5 still displays that message. I started a thread some time ago while using Mavericks and it was suggested by some users that it has smth to do with kexts. However now, after reseting to factory and subsequent installs of iLife'11 suite and updates I wonder if that message is somehow related to the procedure of Garage Band 6.0.5 update? I remember that after performing internet recovery and then installing iLife'11 from the DVD I ran Software Update Utility: it clearly detected all installed software but among suggested updates the one for GarageBand 6.0.5 was greyed out: it had the box unticked and impossible to click.
So, would like to hear some thoughts of yours on the subject. It doesn't make me any obstacles as of now using Garage Band but is definitely annoying.
All the best,
I.S.

Oops, stand corrected: in Mavericks both GB v.6 and GB v.10....
GB stands for Garage Band, of course
