Changing the tuning of the tuner

Hi everyone
This could be an extremely thick question, but I thought I'd ask it after checking the forums here with no luck.
I've just downloaded Fogerty's 'Proud Mary' lesson and he begins (in the advanced mode) to talk about the tuning of the guitar. The tuning he indicates is a full step down, and he suggests using the tuner in Garageband to do it.
Now, despite clicking 'advanced', I've never tuned a guitar off the standard EADGBE. (Most of my guitar time has been spent playing classical stuff.) I could probably figure out how to do it using a tuner designed for EADGBE (like most of the tuners lying around the house) but I get the impression that the tuner in the lesson mode (i.e. not the tuner in the 'LCD' at the base of the Garageband editor) should be able to switch to the full-step-down tuner. But despite several minutes of pawing at the screen, I can't get it to change. Yes, I could use the LCD tuner in the normal Garageband tuner but because that tuner doesn't know what string I'm plucking or which of the Ds I want (i.e. it's best for guitars that are roughly in tune), I expect this will be a frustrating business.
Anybody know how to get the in-lesson tuner to switch away from standard tuning? Alternatively, are there any website that might have a Flash-based tuner that works on the basis of being told which string I'm trying to tune at any given time?
Thanks for your help.
Best
Ian

  • Can I Change The Equalizer For All 3,000+ tunes in iTunes At Once?

    I just discovered the equalizer option and I am hoping that there is a command to change the tunes all at once. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dell   Windows XP  

    I click edit and select all but I end up with a list highlighted in blue. What's the next step? I tried changing one while highlighted but it only changed the one I worked on.
    Thanks for your help.
    The simple answer to your question is YES, you can do
    that.....BUT, be careful!! Changing the EQ and/or
    Volume presets actually updates the headers in your
    music files. So, by clicking Edit/Select-All, you
    could launch a mass change, but you're talking about
    3000+ updates. I would start off with a small batch,
    then go larger as you gain confidence in the process.
    A word to the wise......be careful.
    Good luck and post back if your are successful.

  • Trying to figure out how to change the tuning of certain notes so I can play notes in between pitches for example the middle note between B

    Trying to figure out how to change the tuning of certain notes so I can play notes in between pitches for example the middle note between B & C or E & F. I can use different tracks if needed but I would prefer to know how to do it for individual notes as well. They have to be exactly in the middle so it's not out of tune.

    Danny,
    The theme to Doctor Who is in 12/8. In music theory, there's no such thing as a 12th note, the notation and nomenclature is all based on things being divisible by four. So for the diddly-dum feel to happen, you have to give the beat to a quarter note plus another eighth note -- we call it a dotted quarter note, and now you have three eighth notes per beat so you can go diddly. So, since you can't call the time signature 12/dotted quarter, you call it 12/8 and go faster. Make sense? Anyway, for GB's purposes, all you need to know is that you'll get that feel by choosing 12/8.

  • I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

    I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone, first save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photo thumbnails, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.

  • When I plug my i phone 4 into i tunes on the same computer that is used for the i pod touch it changes the e mail over to the i pod touch and i cant figure out how to get it back on the i phone account.  how do i fix this?

    Hi,  i need help.  When i plug into i tunes with my i phone 4 it changes the e mail account over to my daughters i pod touch account and i can't figure out how to separate the 2.  when i click on store,  it show up as my account but if i try to update an app or purchase anything it shows on the phone as her email and i need her password to do what i what.  it also puts her apps on my phone.  any advice would be appreciated.  thanks

    If you are being prompted for her Apple ID password when updating apps it means that there are one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID.  (Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them regardless of the settings on your phone.)  It's possible that you are inadvertently syncing her apps to your phone.  .  The only way to stop this is to delete these apps from your phone.  You may want to check which apps are checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing next time to be sure her apps aren't selected.
    To change the Apple ID used for purchasing, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the ID you want to use.

  • Just put my i-tunes library on a 2nd hard drive, how do I easily change the location where the program looks for current songs from the C:/ drive to the new drive without going thru each song individually in the "get info" tab

    I just installed a new hard drive and transfered my i-tunes library to the new drive.  How can I make a bulk change of the location the program looks for the current songs.  I know you can do it song by song from the "get info" tab but I need to do it for all 4500 songs.  I have already changed the location that new files are stored to the new hard drive.

    The pop-up lets you connect to the library file, iTunes Library.itl, on the external drive. This will, in turn, automatically update the preference for the iTunes Media folder to be the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder inside the iTunes folder on the external drive and it will update the locations of all the content inside the media folder so that it uses the version on the external drive.
    This works seamlessly if all iTunes content was inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder (which was itself inside the iTunes library folder) before you moved/copied the iTunes folder. For content outside the iTunes Media folder iTunes should remain connected to the original location. These files should be consolidated (before or after the move/copy) and in addition, if available the library should be upgraded to the newer layout which places iPod Games and Mobile Applications inside the media folder instead of the library folder. (File > Library > Organize Library...)
    For split libraries there are methods to rejoin them before moving (preferred) or repairing after the fact (e.g. my script) which I can go into if needed.

  • I have my daughters i phone now how do i change the name and owner on the i tunes account

    My daughter has given me her old 3GS I phone. I now have her tunes in with mine in my I tunes record. However I want to buy more tunes but the account is now in my daughters name and has her password which will charge to her bank account. How do I change it back to my account with my bank account details.

    if you have an iTunes account you can go into the settings and choose store
    -after getting to the store settings it should show her apple id
    -tap her apple id and choose to sign out
    -once signed out just tap the same section again to sign in with an existing apple id
    -after you have changed the setting in the iphone you can now go into the store with your own apple id and billing info
    hope this helps:)

  • CHANGING THE COUNTRY IN YOUR I-TUNES ACCOUNT CAN BE DIFFICULT

    CHANGING THE COUNTRY IN YOUR I-TUNES ACCOUNT IS IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING PAYMENT
    Hello iTunes Support,
    I owe you money. My current iTunes account lists my old German credit card, but I don't have this credit card anymore. I have only an American credit card. I would like to use my American card to pay, but I can only change my iTunes account from Germany to the USA AFTER I pay my bill. Please help!
    Thank you,
    Brandon Ethridge
    Dear Brandon,
    Thank you very much for your mail.
    Please purchase an iTunes Gift Card in the amount of EUR 15.00 to pay the outstanding amount of EUR 13.98.
    Now enter the 16-digit activation code beginning with "X" and click the Redeem button. To complete this process, click Redeem Prepaid Card.
    Once your Gift Card is successfully redeemed, your store credit will appear next to your account name in the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window. The outstanding amount will automatically be withdrawn for your credit.
    Please note: Before you will be able to change the country to the USA you have to buy another song and then contact us so we can delete the remaining EUR 0.03. If an account shows a credit, it is not able to change the country in account settings. We will manually delete the remaining amount so you can change the country in your profile.
    If you experience any problems please do not hesitate and contact us.
    Kind regards,

    Note: iTunes gift cards are not sold in stores, so I had to buy it in the online iTunes store, which of course was impossible because of the above problem. So a friend of mine ordered it, and I gave him cash.
    Hello Support,
    My god this is complicated!
    Now, the new problem is this: I live in Austria, therefore my gift card is Austrian. But I cannot apply this to my German bill. PLEASE HELP ME. I have not been able to buy anything from iTunes for almost a year now. This is really bad for your business.
    Thank you for your help,
    Brandon Ethridge
    Hello Brandon,
    Yes, I agree, it's getting complicated
    I have talked to a colleague about it and this is the only thing we can advise:
    1) Ask someone in Germany to buy a gift card for you and have it sent to you to pay the outstanding amount
    or, if that is no option for you at all
    2) open a new account (you will still be able to listen to your purchases)
    I am really sorry for all the inconvenience caused! Please accept my apologies.
    If you have any further questions please do not hesitate and reply to this email.
    Kind regards,
    Katja Hoffmann
    Dear Katja,
    Thank you for your help.

    Do you have a question?
    I do. How did you get a negative balance on your iTunes account? You cannot download something until it's paid for.
