Cant export track to disk

So I was very frustrated last night. I have used garageband for a long time and never had trouble, but when I went to export to disk, suddenly it want working right. It would go through all tho motions.. do the normalizing and everything, but then I look in the folder and it wasnt there. I did a search for the file and it wasnt anywhere. it just hadnt saved. but there was no error.
the only thing I was doing that was unusual was it was a track that was about 30 minutes long. So i tried cropping it down to about 30 seconds. same problem.
I tried send to itunes and it worked. it exported just fine. But why can I not export to disk all of a sudden???
I have the newest version with all the most recent updates.

YER RIGHT!!! I had a really long title for the track. I had called it "brightlightscakeshp_march172008" and when I changed it to "brightlights.aif" it exported fine.
that's weird.
Well at least I know how to avoid this problem! So if you have this problem just give it a shorter filename. thanks sheazo!

  • "Export Song to Disk" will not create file

    So, I've been trying to bounce my GarageBand song for a few days now using the Share>Export Song to Disk option and nothing ever comes out. I uncheck "Compress" and I save it to my desktop, it completes the mixdown and normalizes the track and completes but when I check my desktop, there is nothing there. The project itself is 71.8 MB in size. I have already deleted the com.apple.garageband.plist file from my library but it did not help. Any ideas?

    Make sure the file name isn't too long. There's a known glitch where project names longer than around 28 or so characters won't export to disk. That's the only thing I can think of.
    Also it won't be on your desktop unless you choose that location when exporting.

  • Garageband: exporting tracks shorter than 5 seconds

    In Garageband I'm trying to export audio tracks that are not much longer than 1-2 seconds long - really short projects! - but when I do export them and then play them in my iTunes they are now about 5 seconds long. This is a bit lengthy for what I want them for. Is there any way of exporting a project that can be any shorter than 5 seconds? Anyone know?

    thanks for the 'oddball' pointer, and the 'zoom slider' thingy! I didn't know about these things. I tried them both and I really thought I would get it working this time but for some annoying reason my 1.5ish second project always exports with about 3 extra seconds of blank play time at the end. ARRRGH! It's always the small problems that really get me!! Thanks for all you're effort so far!!!!!
    THE STEPS I TAKE:
    1. I make sure the orange track is pulled back to 0 secs
    2. I press the cycle region button [the button with the two little recycling/circling arrows(which is right next to the play and skip buttons)]
    3. I use the zoom slider (very useful!! thanks) and then adjust the orange cycle region [which appears on the beat ruler] so that it is the same length [EXACTLY] as my 1.5ish length track.
    4. I try to pull the little end-of-track marker [the purple arrow] back [to the left] but will only come as far as 14:00 seconds?? weird!
    5. Then finally I go to 'Share' in the menu bar and 'Export Podcast to Disk...'
    6. I double-click my exported .m4a file which opens automatically in my iTunes but "lo and behold!!" it's no longer a 1.5 second track but a 5 sec one!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I want to keep my 1.5ish sec track 1.5 even after it is exported. Is it possible?
    My Garageband keeps adding those extra 3 seconds on the end when I export!!!!???
    Is there an option I haven't selected?

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

    or, let's try the other way round:
    • in your Project, ctrl-click a clip

    • Apple-i that file..
    • what resolution do you read under 'additional info'?

  • Cant export in quicktime pro get buffer overrun detected

    cant export in quicktime pro progeam shuts down and a microsoft visual c++ runtime libary buffer overrun detected error pops up what is the fix for this??

    I do not know if this helps as my problem was specifically with picture viewer but I also was unable to run the quicktime updater. I removed quick time via the windows add/remove in control panel as I had done before. But this time I did a search for all quick time files and found over 50 files (I have 4 partitions and they were hiding in one of them). So I deleted them, did a defrag (using diskeeper 10) then downloaded the latest version of quick time. Now it works perfectly.

    i cant export my photos from my mac - osx - 10.6.8 to my ipad air , bluetooth wont recognise it

    That's because Bluetooth is not supported out of the box for the transfer of photos to the iPad from your Mac. There are third party apps that let you transfer over WiFi or Bluetooth. I use this one. There are others in the App Store that you can check out.

    You can also sync photos from the Mac to the iPad using iTunes.

  • Acrobat Review Tracker: Can I export Tracker details?

    Hello,
    I frequently send out and join a variety of PDF reviews in my day to day activities at work. The Adobe Review Tracker allows me to see the various reviews I'm participating in with details regarding the review names, number of reviewers, and number of comments per review.
    Is there any way to export this information to another application (such as excel)?
    The review tracker (available in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 under comments > Track Reviews) seems to only offer a plain list of reviews. There appears to be no ability to sort this information (by file name) or any method to export the data in the tracker to another application.
    If this is a new feature in Acrobat 10 (X) or if there is some plug-in or other solution I'd love to hear about it.
    Thanks!

    As of now (till Acrobat X), there is no way to export details of reviews from Tracker. You can however create a PDF of review details of a selected review if you have Acrobat (not available in Reader). You may want to log a feature request for next Acrobat version for exporting Tracker details, though I was wondering how useful the exported data would be?
    Thanks!

  • Logic's EXPORT TRACK(S) feature is buggy. Anyone else noticing this?

    I'm curious to know what Logic's "export track(s)" functions are specifically designed for. I say specifically because I can't quite pinpoint how they work exactly. Meaning, if a track has sends or sidechain processing etc etc those effects are NOT APPLIED to the exported track. Further, I've noticed static in a file (which doesn't have static in the mix) appear on an exported track, also I've experienced out of sync delays and other issues.
    My first question is: has anyone else found the export track feature in Logic to be somewhat inefficient, and if so, have you found a suitable work around?
    Second question: What is the Export tracks function specifically designed for? It's not designed to print certain effects on tracks and it doesn't apply any sends data either.
    Please chime in with any thoughts. My personal workaround right now is to simply solo each track and bounce the project at the global level (for every individual track). I keep the output strip dry and it seems to be working fine so far (but quite tedious). I'm scratching my head to know what "export track(s)" is designed for.
    Thanks!

    I'm still unsure as to why you'd actually want to do this.
    If you want to give your processed tracks to a mixing engineer, first thing he will do is ask, for the dry material, because, after all, you are paying him to create abetter mix with better procesing than you can.
    If you want to save processing power or RAM, then use Freeze.
    If you want to create processed tracks for riskfree playback in a live situation, you'd bounce stems anyway.
    Also, the request for incorporated Sends does not make sense, as a send only carries dry, unprocessed sound anyway.
    Christian
    Well you are right about the "live situation" scenario. This is why I'd like a "bounce all individual tracks seperately" option. It would facilitate exporting tracks for remixing or performance in Ableton Live. It's a lot nicer to have every track as it sounds in a mix than to have groups or stems when remixing or performing.Right now it just takes a while to solo and bounce every track in a 40+ track project. I just think it would be a very useful function.

  • Exporting tracks from Logic 8

    Hi,
    i've figured out that when I'm exporting tracks from Logic ("export all tracks as audio files"). Some of them get automatically normalized and don't have the actual volume of the "mixdown".
    Does anybody now, why this happens? I guess it happens only with Logic's own synths and not with 3rd party plugins.
