Fast Dup of Time Signature Change

Hi there,
I've got a song that changes Time Signature for each bar from 3/4 to 5/4 and on (which is in fact 3+5/8 if I'm not mistaken). Now how can I set these and then simply duplicate it thru-out the whole song instead of setting each bar manually?
Thanks in advance!
Micha

Again, not the answer I wanted, but its the right one I am finding.
You might consider to upgrade to Logic, if you need this feature frequently and would profit from the other more advanced options. Not to be able to change the time signature, is the one thing about GarageBand that I really don't like. But I decided to stick with GarageBand anyway, because I like its simplicity.
Perhaps one day this will be added to GarageBand - when I started with GarageBand, it was impossible to change the tempo, but now you can.
You may want to send feedback to Apple, that you need this feature:

Wierd Time Signature Changes Within Song - HELP!!

Hey all, I am recording a song with a combo of real vocals & instruments, some loops, and some parts played via soft synth. Many of the recorded parts were originally recorded in Ableton Live, but I slaved it to Logic and re-recorded the parts in Logic tracks so I can continue and finish the song in Logic. It's all been done to a click track at 127 bpm. Between bars 17-20, the time signature changes radically, and it shows in the display at the top above the tracks. I don't know how this happened, or how to change it. Everything gets condensed to a smaller signature, although I cannot think of a better way to explain it. I took a screen shot and would be happy to email it to anyone (I don't know how to embed images in these posts). I am in desperate need of help here as this little glitch throws off the click for the remainder of the song. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Just position the playhead to bar 17 and change the time signature in the transport window to how it should be (e.g. like the rest of the song). Do the same in the following bars if needed. This actually deletes the "wrong" time signatures and sets everything back to "normal".

Copying multiple time signature changes

I suspect this might have a really simple answer but I can't seem to work it out..
I'm working with a 16 bar section in the arrange that changes time signature every bar or two - all working fine with changes showing in the global tracks area. How do I copy this section in the arrange while also copying the appropriate time signature changes? My normal copy/paste routine doesn't copy the signature changes as well.
Thanks,
D

Ah yeah that worked
Thanks

Time signature changes

Hey everybody. I got a song I'm sending to a friend who is a drummer. He needs a click track. Problem is, the song has several different time signatures throughout. A 4/4 click track makes things pretty confusing running through a whole song that isn't all in 4/4. Does anyone have a work around for this, or an idea they can throw my way? Is there a way I can program a click track as a single track of it's own? And if so, can I program it at different time signatures at certain times? Apologies if that's confusing. Only way I could think of wording it. Thanks.

Neither GarageBand on the iPad nor GarageBand on the Mac allow different time signatures in one song.
The best you can do in a project would be to set one Time Signature, and then ignore it in the sections of the song with a diferent signature.
To create a click track with different signatures, create a new project for each of the sections of the song with different signature, then share these as audio files to a computer and sync the audio back to the music app on your iPad.
Then create another project for the combined click track: import the audio sections as loops to one track (using the loop browser) and combine them to your click track.

Time Sigature changing?

Hi,
I'm currently about to record a progressive-style band that needs many time signature changes during their songs, many only lasting for one bar.
How do I map time signature changes?? (whenever I try anything it changes it for the whole song).
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

Hi
Several methods;
a) Put the Playhead at the required Bar No. and change the Time Sig in the Transport
b) Global Tracks: Signature.... enter Time Sig Change with pencil tool
c) Lists... Signature... create Signature
d) enter a Time Sig in the Score editor
That should do it!

After upgrading to 6.1.3 battery drains fast. Moreover initial charging takes more time to change battery indicator from red to green. any solution ?

After updating the iphone 5 to IOS 6.1.3 battery drains fast. Also it takes more time to change battery status from Red to Green. Any solution?

Anyone?
Thinking I'm S.O.L at this point.

How do you change the time signature in Ultrabeat? I want to record something in 3/4. Thanks

Hello,
I want to record a song in 3/4 using Ultrabeat. I can't figure out how to change the time signature in Ultrabeat. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Evereman

Hi
You need to take into account the Resolution (how big is each step) and the number of steps (the Length)
For example, with a resolution of 1/16, one bar of 3/4 would be 12 steps, 2 bars 24, etc
You can set these parameters at the bottom of the UB interface

Can't change Time Signature before Bar 1

I have a song that I want to have a 2 bar count in of 7/8, then go into 13/16 starting on bar 1. Somehow the count-in time sig got changed to 18/8, and everytime I try clicking before bar 1, and re-setting it to 7/8, it just stays on 18/8. I can't figure out why it won't let me change it. I can change the time sig on bar 1 and every thing after it, but not the count-in. Is there somewhere special I'm supposed set that count-in time signature? Maybe there's something I've hit that locks the count-in time signature?

As a workaround you could just start your 7/8 count on bar 1, and change to 13/16 at bar 3. Then after you get it recorded you can move it back to bar 1. I've tried to do what you're trying on my settup and can confirm that it does not work.

Metronome Click for 6/8 Time Signature

Forgive me if this is a really basic question, but how do you get the metronome to click only twice per bar for a 6/8 time signature? I'm writing a piece in a quick 6/8 and I don't want 6 ridiculously fast clicks per bar while I'm recording. I searched the discussion forums but didn't see any answers. Thanks!

...if you have a piece in 6/8 you should record it in
6/8 without having to resort to something as drastic
as changing the tempo and the time signature just to
get a metronome beat right. logic ought to be able to
do a dotted value beat, but as it can't, we will have
to write them for the klopfgeist AI.
This should be on the "short list" for the next update. Digital Performer allows you to choose dotted values for tempo and meter settings. There is no reason that Logic shouldn't have this capability. Especially with the new DP 5, there are some amazing new Click and Count-off features, especially for film scoring.
Having said that, you can do many of the same things in Logic (manually) by using the Klopfgeist instrument plug-in. Overall, an annoyance, but not a deal-breaker by any means.

Trying to figure out time signature of a piece of music to recreate in GB

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to figure out the time signature of a particular piece of music, as I do a lot of work with this particular piece of music and I am attempting to migrate over to GarageBand on a Mac from FL Studio 6 on a PC.
This piece is the theme music to the British science fiction series Doctor Who, created in 1963 by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is a classic and timeless piece of music and I'm prone to doing quite a few recreations and remixes based on this theme.
Wikipedia is hosting a condensed version of the theme at the following URL:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5d/DoctorWho_themeexcerpt.ogg
I'm sorry about the strange slight pitch bending up and down... must be some kind of copyright thing. The real piece remains at a constant pitch. I would post mine but I'm sure that it's some kind of copyright violation.
From what I've read online, the original theme was done in a 4/4 time signature at 140 bpm. A good friend of mine insists that it's easier to do in a 4/3 time signature. In FL Studio back on the PC, I did everything in 4/4, but both 4/4 and 4/3 worked fine for me as far as easily laying out the bassline in simple "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums" but no matter what time signature and no matter how far I zoom in, I cannot get the correct note lengths for the bassline in GarageBand. I've tried 4/4, which is the most logical of the time signatures, but the notes never fit the correct "dum-de-dum" pattern timing-wise and I can't do a "diddly-dum" because it won't let me divide one section (bar? beat?) into three notes as is required for the "diddly" of the "diddly-dum." (I must sound like a madman referring to the bassline notes as "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums," but hey, it works for me.)
Anyway, if someone else could perhaps come in and tell me what I'm doing wrong or another way of configuring GarageBand so that I can put this bassline in properly, I would be most grateful to you!
Thanks so much,
Danny

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.

Time signature Automation

Does anyone know if there is automation options for time signatures, say I wanted to go from 4/4 to 7/4 mid song, and not have the metronome be the death of me? I know '10 didn't have them

No, GB only allows for one time sig per song. But you can just ignore the bar lines. If the downbeat of the metronome bugs you, create your own clicktrack with a drum instrument, there you can even create your own downbeats according to your changing time sigs!

Anyway to set the time signature mid song?

I'm making a song in garageband and i need to change the time signature for one bar from 4/4 to 2/4 and then back again, is there anyway to do this?
Your help is appreciated.

Sorry, GB only allows for one time sig per song. As long as you don't need the notation, you can probably live with it that your bars now are shifted two quarters - until you insert the next 2/4.

How do i switch to 7/8 time signature in garageband on ipad air

How do i switch to 7/8 time signature in garageband on iPad air ? I can find only 4/4 , 3/4 and 6/8 . What and if i want to change it to 7/8 any other time signature on Garageband using on iPad Air

Tim,
Maybe before you give up on the Korg, you might want to give their own tech help a call. Perhaps it just doesn't do this, but maybe there's a control somewhere, someplace, hidden within that will?
Another thought - perhaps you might be able to use a 3rd party MIDI mapper to lower the notes by an octave. It's an easy piece of math to subtract an octave from the MIDI data leaving the keyboard before it hits GB.
Here's a software one I just googled. Don't know if it will work, there are likely others out there that may if this doesn't:

.. and a hardware mapper I also dredged up in the google:

Time Signature - A specifik question :-)

Hi Forum
I work in FINALE As well as in LOGIC.
1.
If I've written a long passage in finale changing timesignature every bar, how to export these into LOGIC?
2. Im still not familiar with the three tools in Arrange>region>Cut/insert time and the differences between these three. What I often want is to move and insert ( in the middle of a sequenze ) a section with a lot of changing meters.
But I never succed in getting the right bars and timesignatures.
Logic always arsk to insert ekstra bars with strange meters in order to perform my move?
Yours
Bo Lundby-Jaeger

The only consistent way I have found is:
1. In Finale save as ... MIDI file ... (Separate track for each instrument)
In the finder right click (control click) on the MIDI file
Select open in... Logic Pro
The MIDI file will now open in Logic Pro with Tempi (If you have set them up) and all time signatures in place. (sometimes the opening tempo will be wrong, but all subsequent tempo changes should be OK. You will need to adjust the opening tempo in the Global tempo track.
I don't know a way to get time signatures from a Finale file into an existing Logic "song"

Help - Missing: Tempo Value Slider, Time Signature Slider

I'm assuming I'm missing something really basic here but I can't for the life of my find an answer.
How do I set which controls appear in the project controls area at the top of Soundtrack Pro?
I see Sample Rate but I do NOT see the Tempo Value Slider, the Time Signature Slide, the Key Pop-Up Menu. Where in the menus do I control what does and doesn't appear in that top bar under the project name?

One note of clarification. I do understand that I can find the tempo slider and time signature slider (or even the button to change the timeline from beats to seconds) under the project tab in the left-hand pane. But I seem to remember all of these controls being conveniently located at the top of the timeline. Is this just a change with the new version of Soundtrack? Is there no way for me to restore those controls to the top of timeline alongside the sample rate and read/latch/touch button as I believe used to be the case?
