Can I Merge Tracks with Garageband?

Hello there,
Mostly I like to use Reason when it comes to recording and mixing tracks but since buying the new Aluminum Macbook, which incorporates a music software package of its own, I thought I'd try a different approach. My problem, however, is that I cannot find a way of merging two tracks. Say for example I've placed a small drum loop in track one. I select it from the audition area and place it in the track area. Then, in order to configure the drum track further, and in order that I can mess around with it more, I place the same drum loop in track two: only this time, I edit it and shorten it down so that only a few beats are pronounced. At this point I would usually merge the tracks, thus making both track two and track one into a single track. But I do not know how to do this in Garageband. Can anyone tell me whether this is at all possible?

With reason I would record one track and one overdub. Then I would merge both tracks. When I use Garageband, the option to join track one with track two does not exist. I take it you are able to have a drum loop in track one, a drum loop in track two, and are able to combine both in a single instant. I merely highlight the regions as I would highlight text in a document. Is there a more serious issue with my copy of Garageband. It did come complimentary with my Macbook, as it does with every other Macbook.

Can i record voice with garageband?

Can i record voice with garageband?

Hi,
I am a Garage Band dunce (first time user). I’ve imported a guitar track as track 1.
I launched a “new basic track” with no effects for the vocal track, but cannot get any vocals to show up on the meter before recording.
I can click on track one (my guitar track) and I can see the meter move when speaking into the mic, but when I click on track two, I get nothing from the mic.
I’m sure the answer is obvious, but I don’t see it. Any tips?
Thanks,
Terry

HT1578 I have created an encrypted disc to prevent others from seeing certain videos but they can still be opened with Garageband. What can I do to?

Hi BGreg,
The disc WAS injected when I first discovered that. It doesn't sto garageband (maybe other apps too) from reading & opening the files.

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other?

That's only a good idea if the semantics of sayHello
as defined in MyInterface suggest that a
RemoteException could occur. If not, then you're
designing the interface to suit the way the
implementing classes will be written, which smells.
:-)But in practice you can't make a call which can be handled either remotely or locally without, at some point, dealing with the RemoteException.
Therefore either RemoteException must be part of the interface or (an this is probably more satisfactory) you don't use the remote interface directly, but MyInterface is implemented by a wrapper class which deals with the exception.

Problems using M Audio Fast Track with Garageband

According to the blurb, the M Audio Fast Track (USB) 'is class compliant in Mac OSX offering true plug-and-play operation. Just plug in, and you're ready to start recording'. This is why I bought it, but I am experiencing no end of problems actually getting it to register with Garageband '08.
The problems are (a) I cannot hear any sound coming 'through' the Fast Track and Garageband (b) I can hear the guitar if I plug the headphones into the Fast Track, but nothing is recorded in Garageband (c) my mic, which is plugged into the line socket intended for guitars because I don't have the larger connection, reports no sound at all.
Any ideas, or tips to how others have managed to set up this 'plug-and-play' device would be greatly welcomed.

Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
(Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
What am I doing wrong?

HT204406 How can i get tracks with "waiting" status to upload to itunes match.

I have completely cleared my library and started again. i have 24000 tracks in library but only 15000 + are uploading. leaving a further 6000 or so with a "waiting" status. i have tried the update itunes match option which runs through the full process and on completion is still leaving the tracks with "waiting" status.
any ideas??

I have the same issue, although I only have about 2500 tracks and half of them are in waiting. I read a few other peoples issues with this problem and checked and found that all the songs (or whatever it is) are not in the folder they were in, in fact they are not on my computer anymore! They are still in the cloud i guess, well the information is, but the songs arent. So now I have to go back and re-import all the CD's that are missing. I did reinstall itunes before this happened which probably had something to do with it, but whenever I tried to update itunes match it would freeze my computer and give me an error. So I reinstalled and now it works but half my music is gone! and alot of it was not on CD, I had gotten online, but when I go to check purchases/downloads available, it says everything that can be has been. It ***** because it takes so long and I know I have lost some of the songs since I got them online and dont have a hard copy. But basically you need to check to make sure the files are in the folder that itunes is looking in, and that they are ON your computer or server. Then re-import if you have to, and update itunes match (if your using) then icloud should recognize. Ill let you know if this works for me since I am in the process of doing just that.

M-audio M-track with GarageBand 11

Just bought an M-audio M-track.
I'm having some issues getting it to work with GarageBand.
When I create a track and choose the m-track input the microphone icon on the right col under the track settings is fixed and does not allow any adjustment. Not what I was expecting.
Any good tutorials online for this?
Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Using Garageband 2.0.2 Tracks with Garageband '08

Basically I'm running Garageband 2.0.2 and my friend is using the newest version Garageband '08
I would like to be able to insert my drum tracks into a project on his computer with his Garageband. I know I can just insert the audio (I can can't I?) but I was hoping to be able to use the tracks interchangebly
I'm quite new to this program but I love it more and more as I use it
Thanks in advance

Are you using Flex Builder 3? Flex 3.0 beta Data
visualization components are available as part of FB 3 only. You
can select either 2.0.1 hotfix 3 charts (consists of only
charts.swc) or 3.0.0 data visualization (consists of
datavisualization.swc). through multiple sdks feature of FB3. For
flex 3 beta, flex 2 charting key will work. so if you want to try
out new features in charts and new components like Advanced data
grid you can switch to 3.0.0 sdk and use same flex 2 charting key
to remove watermark from charts.

How can I merge documents with layout written with pages? How can I copy pages-document with layout and paste it into another pages document?

Hi
I am working with pages for a book and have made already a layout whre photos and graphs etc. are partly outside of the area for the text, their posotion is not fixed the the text.
And now I nedd support: When I add text or a photo to the layout the text moves and the unfixed photos etc. keep there position. This means I have to update each photo or graph to shift it to the new position ore I have to place photos etc. within the frame of the text, which is not the kind of layout I am going for.
I hope for two reliefs, which I do not know how to realize it.
1. If I specify each chapter as a new partition starting with own page (then I hoped) the new section would shift together into a new page and the positions of photos etc. and text would stay fix. But unfortunately this seeems not to be the case. Question: is this possibe orno? If yes, how to do it?
I could divede the whole txt chapter by chapter into individual documents, which are seperatly created and worked. At the end I would have to merge all this document into one. Is it possibe to merge different pages-document into one document?
Who can help me?
Thanks Hartmut

Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.

Can you use Redrum with GarageBand?

Hey, I just got a new Mac on Friday (my first mac ever), and was wondering if you could use redrum with Garage Bands Loops. What I want to do is use the loops I make in Propellerhead Reasons Redrum with Garage Bands Loop file. Can someone tell me or even if this is possible??

I have BFD Lite that came bundled with my ControlPad, & while it is a fully funtional drum solution, I've found EZDrummer to be, well, easier to use. Of course it depends on your intended application-do you want to trigger the sounds manually through pads or a keyboard, or are you looking for premade midi patterns? Both apps will work for either case, but the midi pattern interface for BFD is far more obtuse than that of EZD. All in all, I can appreciate the flexibility that BFD offers, but I use EZD 99% of the time, and I'm a long time drummer. FWIW, I rarely use the patterns, & trigger from a DrumKat or the ControlPad.
One caveat for drag & drop-GB will create an oddball track (mine is a flute track) & you'll need to re-drag the pattern into your drum track & eliminate the placeholder track.

Can't merge contacts with iCloud

I've updated my iPhone to iOS5 recently and everything's fine except for my contacts.
Once I open one of my contacts, it closes automatically and won't allow me to call anyone.
I've tried syncing my contacts with iCloud but once i switch to 'ON' and press 'MERGE', it closes again and goes back to the homepage.
I checked the iCloud settings again and it's still 'OFF', I can't seem to turn it on as it keeps closing the app.
Can anyone please help me?

Hi there - it's me again - found a solution which involved a totally clean restore as a new iPhone.
Do NOT USE an existing BACK-UP to restore or YOU'LL END UP WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.
When asked to sign on to iCloud ----DECLINE ---- then put your stuff back on piece by piece. After all that's done you can switch Contacts on in iCloud and Roberts your Auntie's husband.
Once all done back it up a few times to overwrite old existing back-ups.
Best of luck

HT2931 "Don't worry, you can make commercial music with Garageband"

Those words, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931, contradict section 2 of the terms of use for GarageBand (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/GarageBand.pdf). There are similar terms of use for iMovie which seemingly prohibit commercial use.
Am I right? Please focus on analysis of the legal document, which trumps the support post. I know several law-biding people to take this stuff seriously.

Christoph, that text says that I am allowed to use the loop content in my own creations, and that I am able to distribute and broadcast those creations. It doesn't say whether the creations are allowed to be used for commercial purposes or not ("distributing/broadcasting" does not imply "distributing/broadcasting commercially"). Whereas Section 2.i. of the agreement (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/GarageBand.pdf ) explicitly says I am only allowed to use GarageBand for non-commercial purposes (loops or no loops). iMovie's agreement has identical language--the permitted uses and restrictions section of the agreement begins by clearly saying "non-commercial use only".
The way I see it, there is no other way to interpret section 2.i. of the agreement. Yes, per the text you quoted, I can make a work out of loops and still distribute it as my work (as long as I don't distribute my work as "loops"). But per section 2.i., I can only use the software non-commercially (meaning I may not sell what I make with it, regardless of what I made).
The question of using the loops has been answered many times on this forum; the answer is good to know. But the real question is "am I able to create anything in iMovie or GarageBand for commercial purposes?". This question has been asked, too. Lots of people answer "sure, I've done it for company X for years", but they don't justify their position in the context of "permitted license uses and restrictions", which clearly states the contrary.
So, can anybody justify, using the software license agreement, the use of GarageBand or iMovie for commercial purposes?

Hi all,
Seems I'm going to get a call in the next few hours from an Apple support rep...
Assuming I do, and we get some kind of resolution, I'll post it here.
Convinced it's a specific appointment issue which is causing the error - I remember having something similar on a Nokia a few years back. Remember them?

How can I merge layers with multiple layer styles added to them?

So I have this issue where I have to merge lots of layers in order to finish the job. Thing is that two of them have layer styles added to them. Each one has two different layers styles added to it. If I try to merge the layers, the effect won't stay the same and only one layer style will apply (and not even this one works correctly). Is there any cure for this? Thank you!

Here is how it looks before I merge the layers.
And here is how it looks after I merge the layers.
Why won't it stay the same?
