Audio exported from garageband inaudible

Hi everyone,
I'm new to garageband and have just hooked up a sony notetaker to my macbook pro and have used garageband to import the audio. Once it imported I listened to some of it and it sounded okay but when I chose "send song to iTunes" and listened to the audio there, it was playing back in "chipmunk" mode, ie. really fast, totally inaudible. Just wondered if anyone could tell me why this is happening?
Also, is it possible to export audio from garageband in an mp3 or .wav format?
Appreciate any help.

Thanks for the reply.
The Q&A you directed me to is about a file playing too fast within Garageband. My file is actually playing correctly within Garageband - it's playing too fast in iTunes when I export it.
I tried it anyway though. Since the file was already in the iTunes window, I just set the preferences to AIFF, 44.1K and 16-bit as directed in the instructions. The file was already a .aif file since exporting it from GB but again I chose "Convert to AIFF from under the Advanced menu" according to the instructions.
Apparently once the conversion is done a new file should have been created and listed in the iTunes window, but no new file was created when I did this. Do you know what could have gone wrong?
Also I imported about 1 hours worth of audio from the notebook into GB but when I exported it to iTunes it's coming up as over 11 hours. Do you think some setting was wrong in GB while I was importing that could be causing the problem?

  • IPod music player crash when playing podcast, exported from GarageBand

    Hello!
    Before start, I'm using this soft/tools: GarabeBand '11 (6.0.4.) on Mac OS X(10.7.2.), podcast, submited in iTunes, and iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4. All software is up to date.
    So. I have a podcast which Is playing fine everywhere, on Mac, iPod etc. But the latest episode I did yesterday, I made with GarageBand to try "Chapter Marks" feature which I did not used before. Then I export podcast to my Mac and upload to my server to make available in iTunes Store as I usualy do.
    Then I downloaded latest episode of my own podcast in iTunes, transfer it to iPod, and found that this episode cannot be played on it! I mean, it transfered well, it shown in episodes list of my podcast, but when I tap to play - music player app just crashing all the times. All previous episodes works fine, so I guess the problem with latest episode is because of GarageBand.
    I've tried many different export settings in GarageBand: AAC Encoder with Higher Quality (192 kbps), iTunes Plus (256 kbps) and Custom settings 320 kbps. Also I tried all options in "Quality" dropdown menu in Custom settings: High, Higher and Highest.
    But result is still same - this episode, exported from GarageBand, crashing on iPod (although It can be played normaly in iTunes on my Mac).
    Would be glad for any suggestion how to solve this. I feel very bad cause subscribers of my podcast downloading "broke" episode :-(
    p.s.
    Here is podcast in iTunes Store - http://itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/daniel-lesden-presents-rave/id423519688
    Here is RSS feed - feed://ravepodcast.com/downloads/podcast.xml
    The problem with latest episode, #017.

    I examined the episode media file. In QuickTime Player 7 it shows the chapter images, which are 160x160, and plays normally.
    However in QuickTime Player X it doesn't show the images, but opens to a very large black player. The info in QT7 looks like this:
    You will notice that although at the bottom it says 'Normal Size 160 x 160 pixels', in the top section it refers to a JPEG at 6227 x 6227 which I suppose is an embedded image, though I can see no evidence of one (unless it's plain black): an image this size wouldn't show on an iPod and would very possibly crash it.
    I can't explain how this got there - I've never used GarageBand to make a podcast - but you should have an investigation and try to locate and remove it; it's very likely the cause of the problem.

  • Itunes wont play my new mp3 exported from Garageband?

    I export my original songs from Garageband 09 in mp3 format and add them to a playlist in itunes. Sometimes Ill make some changes to a song in Garageband and then export and replace the original exported mp3 with the same file name. The preview in Finder plays the new version but when I double click it or open it with itunes it plays the old one? Even when I delete the old one from the playlist and import the new file? Weird!

    I have a similar problem .. when I import a movie, modify the audio track add sounds and music ect... export to iTunes only the original movie audio comes thru. When I check the file in the iTunes movie folder it has the Garageband sounds as I modified it. Opening the movie in Quicktime it plays the total Garageband mix. I suspect a glitch in iTunes.

  • Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

    Hi all
    Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
    Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
    I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
    Cheers,

    Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
    Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

  • Easy DVD audio export from Premiere?

    Premiere CS3
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    Hello,
    I'm used to exporting to MPEG-2 for DVD from Premiere, but I've been using PCM (wav) audio- then I let Encore re-encode that to Dolby.
    There's an option to export Dolby within Premiere, but you have to pay for it? If Encore can encode with Dolby, shouldn't Premiere be able to as well?
    PCM file size is too big, and the only other option is MPEG, which I've heard can be a compatibility issue.
    Is there a way to transfer a Dolby license from Encore to Premiere? Or something?
    Thanks in advance!

    As Jeff points out, the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in is just that - 6 channel encoding to AC3
    The Encore DD encoder is 2 channel (stereo), lacking the additional channels and their settings, though it too encodes to AC3
    Different encoders, doing different things. The commonality is that they end up with AC3 files and use Dolby Digital encoding on the different source files.
    Hunt
    PS, if you do buy the DD 5.1 SS SurCode plug-in (I highly recommend it for 5.1 SS work), do so from within PrPro, as you will get a "user's" discount of about US$50 (might be less now, as I *think* that SurCode has lowered the price again). I love mine so much that I bought a copy for each machine.

  • Odd frames added to start of audio export from LPX when imported into FCPX

    Running into a weird issue exporting audio out of Logic Pro (10.0.6) for import into FCPX (10.1.1) - Logic is introducing extra frames (varies between 2 to 4 frames) at the front of exported audio, becomes detectable when imported back into FCPX.
    I do a lot of work where I sync music performances on camera that are recorded in audio and MIDI, and have to deliver remixed audio with picture AND a .MID file that all sync. Workflow used to be shoot video on a C100 and another DSLR with either an audio feed or live mic patched to the camera, while Logic recorded the MIDI performance and any ambient audio via separate mics and pres. Shoot always had some kind of "slated" start marker on camera, in camera audio, and in Logic. Camera edits were edited in FCPX, exported as a Quicktime with the "slate" for a start marker, then audio and MIDI handled in Logic.
    This always used to work thru to last fall, when we took a hiatus.
    Upon resuming some final shooting in the last two weeks, our audio edits are always running 2-4 frames behind FCPX. It's a consistent offset for an entire export (so there's no drift, no jitter within the files - but the slate tones might be 2 frames and 17 subframes behind and the whole audio file runs behind.) Another export might be 3 frames 2 subframes behind. Always kind of random in the amount of drift - but never more than 4 frames.
    Tried a test where I imported just the camera audio in Logic as an extracted audio track, then exported same audio file back to the Quicktime but left the original audio in the video - Logic's exported audio ran behind sync from the original.
    Obviously, I'm paying attention to frame rates, sample rates, etc.
    As a test, I exported an XML out of FCPX, imported it into Logic, performed some edits, and used the File>Export>Project to FinalCut Pro XML - so everything matched across the board. Opened the export in FCPX - audio ran behind sync again.
    If it was just audio I was concerned about, I'd just line it up in FCPX and call it done - but my exported MIDI file NEEDS to be in sync with the picture AND the audio... and wasting time calculating the Logic offset error is a huge detour from getting this work done quickly.
    I thought maybe there could be a plug-in issue, but it happened even in the extracted audio from the Quicktime with no plug-ins in any of the signal chains.
    Any ideas?

    Well… here's a clunky workaround.
    It's either a problem with the exported FCPX-XML or the way Logic Pro X interprets the XML.
    The simple test here was to put a clip in the FCPX timeline and export it as an AIFF and then export an XML too.
    Import the XML into Logic, then import the AIFF as a new track. By default the Logic project is 120BPM. By analyzing the xml-based track and the aiff track, the xml track has an added 164 ticks to the beginning of the referenced video-audio.
    Move the playhead to zero, zoom in to the timeline and drag the tick field to 164 then blade all your tracks, then click/drag the bladed tracks to zero. Voila!
    It seems to only affect the first audio file. So for example, when I have 10 video clips in my FCPX timeline, only the first audio clip has the added 164 ticks.
    Now on to the next challenge…
    It's not enough to just de-compound your clips because L and J cuts get referenced to the VIDEO, not the audio underneath.
    So… In FCPX you MUST select each clip and choose Break Apart Clip Items from the Clip Menu. Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd mention it here in case others were having problems.
    Let's hope Apple steps up their xml game and realizes that when I choose export XML-Audio from the xml popup menu… I want it to send the duration of the audio, not the duration of the attached video.
    Ergh! Well… as my friends say… "We're still in the stone age with all this technology."
    Happy editing all!

  • Problem exporting from Garageband 08 to iDVD 08

    I used Media Browser to aid me in creating Chapters in my movie in Garage Band 08 (version 4.1.2). The movie plays well under Garage Band. When I then use the Share menu item, "Send Movie to iDVD" to export to iDVD 08 (version 7.0.3), I get the following message. "There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." Well it certainly looks like a movie to me so I must have a settings error somewhere. Does anyone know what that might be. Thanks.

    Under "Applications" select "Utilities" select "Disk Utilities" then open and repair disk permissions.
    Do a search For Garageband. Put the files that end in ".plist" and ".cs" in the trash. Restart the computer, and try GB again (it re-creates those files on start up).
    Hope that helps.

  • Could someone please answer my question re: exporting from garageband?

    Hi,
    I just recorded a video on my iMac computer using skype and call recorder and it automatically saved the video into garageband. My question is how do I export the video that is in garageband to either "soundtrack", "FinalCut Express", "iMovie" or is there some way to upload the video directly onto YouTube?
    thanks for your help,

  • Why does my mp3 exported from garageband sound hollow and tinny when played through other speakers?

    The recording sounds great through headphones from the mac and headphones from my phone but listen to it through speakers from my phone and it sounds hollow and tinny. I've made other recordings that sound full and rich. Any ideas?

    fbuerg,
    You are welcome. Glad my good fortune was helpful to you.

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Multichannel audio export in Premiere Pro CS 5

    Anyone know how to get a multichannel audio export from CS5 - I can find plenty of tutorials on CS6 or CC but not 5, which seems to have "16 Channel" as a sequence option (not "Multichannel") - and when it comes to export there is no Multichannel option - only Stereo, mono, or 5.1
    (I have 3 stereo tracks which I'd like to be able to export as 3 separate audio tracks contained within a quicktime file)

    Jim thanks for listening. The same file card XCAM removed, placed in timeline premiere CS4, appears the 4 separate mono audio channels, quabdo put in timeline premiere CS5.5, it arquivoMP4, so put a audio channel.

  • How do you make the volume louder when you export music from garageband?

    Hey everytime I export my music from garageband the volume seems to die down.. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

    There's two things that are being called "volume": one is the output level of your audio file. Go to GB's preferences and see if the auto-normalize function is checked - if yes, it will automatically adjust the master volume so the maximum level of your output file is 0 dB. If you uncheck it, you can crank up your volume more, but your audio might clip in some places.
    The other thing is loudness – audio files with the same peak level have a very different perceivable loudness. That is a question of mastering, i.e. applying compressors and limiters to make the sound more "dense". But that's a whole different story.

  • Exporting to and from Garageband

    Can you share from Garageband to DVD Studio Pro. As you can't seem to embed the sound track into your movie from Garageband I am wondering if you can export the video and audio tracks to somewhere other than iDVD.

    . If I'm not mistaking, Podcast is the only option that allows me to access itunes to drag and drop a song into my project.
    Any GarageBand project will allow you to access iTunes from the Media Browser, Bruce: Click the Media Button in the lower right corner of the iTunes window and open the Audio tab, then scroll down to iTunes.

  • Export audio iMovie to GarageBand

    I recorded video of some live music and would like to export the audio (song) from the video into GarageBand so that I can put it on a cd or make an mp3. I am brand new to Mac- clueless. Is this even possible- if so, how do I do it?
    THANKS in advance!!!

    If you have it in imvoie already just click Share > Export using quicktime then in Export settings choose sound to AIFF. You can then drop it in itunes to convert to mp3 or make a CD.
    Or open garageband start a new movie project drag the movie file in and as hangtime said delete the movie track.
    And I'm not sure if this works only in Quicktime Pro or regular Quicktime but open in quicktime and export as mp3 or AIFF.

  • How to I synchronize video from Imovie and audio from garageband?

    I recorded the audio in Garageband and the video thru my video camera. I then captured the video in Imovie and attached the audio to the project from garageband. I can't seem to be able to synchronize both.I clicked on the green area and clicked "trim" and when the waveform appeared, I moved the handle back and forth, but video and audio never synced. I also went to my project and tried to pull the video or the audio back and forth, but it also never synced.
    What are the steps to take to achieve this?

    If you want the video and audio to automatically sync, Final Cut Pro X is the tool of choice, but it is more expensive than iMovie, and it has a big learning curve.
    With iMovie, you can still do this by showing the wave forms and lining them up visually. There is a nuance that in iMovie, you must have video. You cannot have sound that exists outside a video element. For you, this means that if your GB track is the same length or longer than your iMovie video track, you cannot shift it side to side. This is easily fixed by adding some dummy clips before and after your video so there is room to slide the track back and forth. You can find these "Black Background" clips (and others) under the Maps tab.
    I recently had to sync up some audio with video. Here is a post that explains in detail how I did it. It may help. Unfortunately, in my case, I was syncing the audio from 2 cameras. This is easier than syncing video with an audio track, but some of the tricks may still apply.
    If anything still does not make sense, please ask.
    One more thing. When you have an audio track like one created in GB, it is not simple in iMovie to delete a chunk of it and delete the corresponding video at the same time. Once again, this is a task better suited for Final Cut Pro X.  It is possible to export your movie to the Media Browser and then continue editing it in GB, so that may be an option for you.
