Erratic quality in a single track?

I am experiencing a rather strange problem with burned CDs - the sound quality varies widely within a single track. It goes from loud to soft, then loud again. With the current CD I'm trying to burn, I notice that the solo vocals are very soft, and the rest of the time the music is at normal volume.
What can I do to fix the problem? Is this an AIFF issue or is there a setting I need to change? Thanks in advance.

I have experience this before and that was due to the quality of the MP3's that I was burning. Some of the MP3's would be real soft and some loud and I just never realized it until it was on a CD and I was listening to my music other than on my computer.
I remedied this by 'normalizing' the music. I've never burned a CD in iTunes and I don't see a 'normalize' setting in the Preferences, but maybe/hopefully someone else can chime in on how to normalize MP3's prior to burning.
Sorry I could be more help but I know what you are going through.

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

Enhance Tuning to a Key for a Single Track

I am looking to enhance the tuning for a single track but when I go to enhance one track it enhances the tuning for all the tracks. Does anyone know of a way to just enhance the tuning for a single track? Or maybe a way to just export one track out of several?
Thanks

Well I'm just calling it what Garageband is calling it. At the top it says "Garageband, File, Edit, and then Track. Where you can add, delete, and duplicate a track. When you select "Create New Track" you then can choose from Software Instrument, Real Instrument, or Electric Guitar. I think you are thinking of a Track as a Project. When you first start Garageband the top one says _*New Project*_ and the bottom one says _*Recent Projects*_.
And I know you can move it to a New Project. I was muting all the other Tracks in a project except for the one that I wanted in a certain key and then I exported it to iTunes and then stuck it right back in as a song. So I know how to do it that way but I was wondering if there was an easier way where I didn't need to export and import tracks all the time.

How can I export a single track in Soundbooth CS5?

Greetings,
I have built up a single track in Soundbooth composed of several repeated clips. I wish to export this single track.
How can I do this in CS5 Soundbooth?
Thanks,
folsombob

Sorry nobody has answered this. I haven't been in this forum in a couple of weeks.
If you have all the tracks right where you want them, are you able to save the file as an mp3?
Are you looking to export it for web use?
For video tracking?
I'm not sure why you'd want to export it as opposed to saving in one of the many available formats.

How to include suppliers quality claim form for tracking of claim.

Dear all
My customer has come out with the following scenario:
To include suppliers quality claim form for tracking of claim.
Items received under Quality Inspection and after inspection will be transferred to Unrestricted used stock or blocked items.
Under blocked items, inventory department (warehouse) will raise the Complaint Form about Supplier and send to purchasing department. Purchasing department will then check and confirm whether there is a need to request Credit Note for Claim without return (it means the item will not be treated as Return Delivery or Return PO). if there is a need to create credit note for claim without return, how are we going to make the quantity in PO, GR and invoice matched?
On the contrary, claim with return or close suppliers complaint form as non-claim required. The request Credit Note will be sent to Account Department to issue Credit Note.
Any suggestion?
Point will be given handsomely for any good suggestion.

Closed. Thanks

Best Way to Export Single Tracks in Audition

Hello,
What is the best way to export one single track (stereo or 5.1) from a multiple track mix in the Multitrack Editor if I want to make it mono? Is it by just muting the tracks I don´t want in the final mixdown and then selecting a mono Master in the Mixdown Options box?
What about exporting only a few of the tracks from a multiple track mix to one mono file? Same process?
Thanks!

"Export all Tracks as Audio Files" found under File>Export.
This will render audio files of your software instruments that start at bar 1, beat 1, and can be dragged right into Pro Tools. The export happens "pre-fader", so it is bounced at unity gain, and excludes any automation.
If there is automation that needs to be included (like a filter sweep or something like that), you'll need to solo the track, and bounce it, because a bounced file does include automation.
Also, if you're using a multi-channel instrument, you'll need to bounce those tracks separately as well.

How can I change the tempo of a single track?

Hi,
I've been struggling with finding a way to change the BPM of a single track. There are three tracks and only one of them needs to be sped up. When I try using the flex editor, it is too complicated for what I am trying to do. Is there any more comprehensive way - a slider, or an input option - for changing the BPM of a single track in the newest version of garageband?

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

I hope that helps!

How do I fade in/out a single track?

I thought this would be pretty basic: to fade in and then fade out a single track, but I can't seem to find a way? Is this possible in Garageband? Or should I be looking at Logic Pro 9?

Each track has a volume curve:

How to adjust volume within a single track?

I have recently purchased Logic Express 9 as I moved from a PC to MAC.If i record a single track, such as vocals, is there any way I can adjust the volume level at different places on that single track? I was able to do this very easily in Acid Pro. All I see in Logic is the ability to increase or decrease the track volume as a whole. Thanks!

To add to the tips… Make your right tool the marquee tool in Logic. Now when you are in the vocal track and in automation mode, hold Command and you'll get the Marquee tool. Drag a box around the phrase you want to adjust, release command (returning to the pointer) and click on the selection. Now you'll have 4 nodes or handles. Drag the automation line up and down to taste. I manually "compress" all my vocal tracks with an automation pass using this trick.

Adjust voice and instrument volumes in single track

Hi, I am relatively new to Garageband and have never really worked with mastering vocal tracks before. I had an old cassette tape that my father had done some recordings on. They were done in a studio and are vocals with organ accompanyment. I wanted to break the cassette down into tracks and put it on YouTube.
I plugged my cassette player's headphones jack into the audio-in port on my Macbook and recorded one long 20 minute track in. I figured out how to adjust the Noise Gate and AUGraphic EQ to reduce most of the static from the transfer and original cassette. The only problem that remains is that when the track was originally recorded, the organ is very loud at some points and drowns out the vocals.
Does anyone know if there is any way to apply filters or mess with the EQ on a single track to lower the volume of the organ or raise the volume of the vocals?
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I don't think there's much of a chance since probably the organ and the voice occupy similar frequency bands. What you can do is pull up the graphic eq on the track (go to the track info pane and add that effect in one of the free slots) and try the different frequency bands to see whether raising or lowering one or several of them makes the balance better. But I guess it will just make the whole mix sound worse.

Exporting single tracks from a garageband project

how can i export single tracks from a garageband (6.0.5) project (and not the whole song) to be converted in aiff/wav?
thanks

Solo the track you want to export by clicking the solo (arrow)button in the Track header. Then export the song to the disk.

Exporting Single Tracks

Is there an easy way to export single tracks -- instead of the whole song -- to disk? I want to be able to take individual tracks out of a song with lots of tracks, export them to disk, and then email them to a friend for him to work with.

Setting volume levels in a single track

How do I change the playback level of several seconds of a single track?

Good to hear that you were able to sort it out. It sounds as though you were really pushing up against the limits of the disk, so the window of opportunity for the break point would have been very narrow. If you want to experiment with the 8.5gb version again I would suggest guesstimating approximately where the middle of the project is and then scattering chapter markers in that general area. You should come up with one that is in the right place to make it work.

Function to bounce single tracks of a project automatically?

Hi guys
Is there any function i can use on logic 9, which bounces all the single tracks of a project automatically?
I have to bounce everything in Audio, cause I am about to send the stems to someone..
The project has 88 tracks so its quite a job to do it manually..
Ca anyone help me?
cheers!
Jon

Hi !
Thx for the answer!
It worked, but it bounces the tracks without the volume settings..
Means that the tracks doesn't fit each other what volume concerns..
I think I will have to do it manually
cheers

Segments of a single track deleting themselves in Garageband.

I was going through two vocal tracks segment by segment (recording by recording) and once I reached the very end and scrolled back, all the segments on one of the tracks, save the last one I had been working on, had deleted themselves. This has happened to me twice, and on the same single vocal track (I worked on two at the same time). Anyone know how I can get these recordings back?
