Editing audio and samples- garage band fit for the job?

hey folks,
I'm rather new to Garage band but know other applications quite well (i'm an Acid & soundforge convert).
A few questions to help get me up to speed.
Garage band is great for loops and recording but what about editing samples and existing files?
For example, I have hours of recorded sounds from the streets, etc that I'd like to chop up into loops. Im having trouble zeroing in with garage band on start and endpoints for cropping...
Is Garage band an 'all in one' or are you expected to use an external editing software to do this? IF so, what software are most people using for this?
next question. any easy way to reverse a file in Garage band??? how about use your mouse cursor to define the start point in playback (Kind of important when you're zeroing in while editin).
Sorry for the loaded questions = these are my roadblocks right now...

what about editing samples and existing files?
An audio editor is a better chocie for, well, editing audio:

  • Trying to print a smiple 3 1/2 X 6 1/2 envelope and printer says too small for the job.I can print

    Printer gives me an error message saying a 3 1/2 X 6 1/2 envelope is too small for job.  However, I can print other envelopes with no problem.  ex. 4 1/2 X 10.  Printer model is a C6280.

    Set-up a custom envelope with the size that you need.

  • Can I create chapters in an audio track in Garage Band?

    Can I create chapters in an audio track in Garage Band? I want to be able to find sections quickly. Or is there another more podcast oriented application that will do this?
    Thanks!

    Hello Jack,
    You can add chapter markers to a podcast track or a movie track, not to an audio track.
    Dragging any still image to the time line in GarageBand will create a podcast track: This image will be used as icon/artwork for your poadcast: See

  • Editing Voice Tracks in Garage Band

    Can you/ how do you edit voice tracks in Garage Band?
    In particular, editting out/ deleting pauses in spoken voice tracks.
    Is Music Project of Podcasting the best for the spoken word in terms of post production capabilities?
    Thanks!

    If you are only doing a little voice editing then, as
    HangTime says, you can do it reasonably well in Garge
    band. However if you have any amount to do you would
    find it easier with a proper audio editor. Audacity
    is free but flaky: I would recommend spending $25 on
    Amadeus II:
    http://www.hairersoft.com.
    There is also Amadeus Pro which is $40 and has basic
    multitrack facilities, but for straightforward
    editing Amadeus II will be fine. It can also open and
    save in a variety of formats and make use of both
    Audio Units and VST plugins.
    I do all kinds of voice work, lots of it musical so I like GB.
    But I also do voice overs. 30 - 60 sec. commercials, presentaions and the like, so if I can just have some modest editting capability and add jingles I'd like to just stick with GB if possible.
    I've only had GB a few days now.
    Thanks again.

  • In Shared Movie folder, I get an iDVD folder and a Garage Band folder

    When working on an iMovie6 project, I noticed that in the Shared Movie folder within Contents, there is an iDVD folder with a Quicktime and a Garage Band folder with an identical Quicktime movie. Why the heck does iMovie make an Garage Band folder? I hesitate to delete the QT within this folder because I'm not finished yet with the project. Maybe I should delete Garage Band to see if this continues on the next project.

    Maybe I should delete Garage Band to see if this continues on the next project.
    Rather than delete an application, I suggest that you create a small test project to see if this oddity is repeated. Have you used the "Share" option in the iMovie menu bar? If so, perhaps you accidently selected GarageBand as the destination.
    If you are planning on burning a DVD of this project, the veteran posters on this forum would recommend that you do not use iMovie to render the movie. (In other words, do not share to iDVD.) Instead, save your iM project and quit the program. Then open iDVD, and create a new project. Drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) into the iDVD window, being careful to avoid the drop zones.

  • How to solve Audition CS6 error "The amount of audio to burn will not fit on the CD........."?

    I have a brand new PC that is MORE than adequate. I have once succeeded in burning a CD after learning all about time tracks and merging them. (made a few with only ONE track)
    Two things:
    1) I find that I must add a CD marker at the end of the WAV because Audition CS6 erases whatever is the last CD marker I've made. Very frustrating but now I know I have to do this but I have no idea WHY!!
    2) Right now I have a WAV that is just over 1 hour and 3 minutes with a total of 637.74MB of info. When I try to export/burn a CD, I get an error message stating "The amount of audio to burn will not fit.......".  I am using TDK 700MB blanks with a Pioneer Blu-ray burner.
    Obviously it will fit.
    What am I doing wrong, all of a sudden?

    Hey ryclark,
    Thanks for responding. Something else is going on here.....
    Here's what I re-replied to our friend...
    Thanks for the response.
    When I built this computer last Nov/Dec, it was built with the second 
    fastest Intel 7i, quad-core chipset on an 64-bit ASUS motherboard. It's  running
    Win 7 Pro. It has a 500GB SSD "C" drive with another 14 TB of true hard 
    drive space. It is set up with 64 bit. I had been using Audition CS3 for  many
    years and even go back to it's origin: Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. My 
    learning curve was minimal, sans the CD burning, which I used other software
    for  which is now antiquated, so I need Audition for this. Between this and 
    IZotope 3 I've repaired and improved many a recording. All-in-all extremely 
    useful software.
    As for the idea "to burn it anyway", well the error message comes up and 
    that's it - if I "X" out of that message and try to burn again the message
    comes  back  - so Audition will not let me. It is convinced that this file is 
    longer than it really is, but only when I add track  marks to it!
    There are only 11 tracks.
    I was able to burn a CD of this same file but without all the track marks, 
    so the same exact file length/size will burn, only as the one track.
    I've also succeeded in burning other WAV's , both greater and smaller, with
    and without multiple track marks, without issue. Of course all with less 
    than the CD's max. capacity.
    This problem seems to be with this one file. I've even  re-made/re-recorded
    the file from scratch with no change. There's something else  going on here
    that I can't put my finger on. (I am "recording" LP's and making  personal
    CDs of them)
    Also, only from time to time, I have another error after burning a CD that 
    states it could not verify the CD. For this I assume it is the blank rather
    than AA? The first might burn without issue and with the second burn I 
    get the error. It is near the end of a stack of blanks, so.....
    As for the need to "mark the end" of the file makes a lot of sense but of 
    all the other CD track-marking software I've used, none needed one to do
    this,  but this IS Adobe after all.
    You'd think there might be a smidge of intuitiveness with Adobe, but maybe 
    not.

  • Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iphone?

    Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iPhone?
    I want to free up memory?

    IT depends on what "data" you are asking about.
    if you are having storage issues on your phone, I would be happy to make suggestions.
    You can store pictures and documents in Dropbox or Google drive.  These are cloud storage apps that keep your information stored off the phone, but available any time.  You can send pages documents to either app in a different format for editing.
    make sure you delete old messages, phone logs, email, as they take up space also.

  • When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?

    When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?

    The audio is a .wav file created in Audacity.
    The OS is Windows XP
    The verison is CS4
    I have included images of the Sequence settings and the playback settings because I was not sure what information you would need.
    I am not sure what you mean by waiting for the Audio to conform but I know I have imported the audio and gone back the next day and tried to place it in the timeline and it still did not work.

    Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

    Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.
