Garage Band 3 audio into to Imovie HD?

I am not able to export Garage Band 3 audio saved for use in a podcast into iMovie 6.0.1. I would think that this would be possible because both are part of the iLife Suite. Does anyone know any way to get Garage Band audio into an iMovie? Specifically, I am trying to get a recorded voice from Garage Band into iMovie.
Thanks,
Lou

Thanks for the help. Importing into iTunes worked as you suggested. I don't know what I was thinking - - when I saw import to iTunes I thought, mistakenly for some dumb reason, that my track would automatically go to the iTunes music store if I saved to iTunes. I MUST get more sleep.

  • Importing Garage Band Dialogue into iMovie 09?

    I would like to import voiceover dialogue created in Garage Band into an iMovie project, but haven't been about to figure this out and also haven't been able to find any tutorials or other information that addresses this particular subject. I saw one comment about saving the Garage Band dialogue as a different kind of file, but I can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone offer some easy to follow instructions about how to do this?

    I would suggest that in GarageBand you use SHARE/TO iTunes or SHARE/To disk.
    You can either use no compression or use Compression and choose AAC encoder.
    Start iMovie. The track should be available from within iTunes through the Media Browser in iMovie.
    If you shared to disk, you will have to locate it in the FInder and drag it into your iMovie Project from there. I do not recommend this, because if you ever move your file to another location, your project will not be able to find it.
    That assumes you want to continue editing in iMovie.
    Alternatively, you could finish your iMovie, then SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER. Then in Garageband, bring the video file into your project from the Media Browser in Garageband, and continue audio processing in GB. Then you Share the finished product through GarageBand.

  • How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

    How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback?  I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
    To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8.  To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads.  Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked. 
    However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1."  And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute.  Instead, nothing comes out at all.  I can't imagine why this does not work.  Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming.  Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments.  Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
    Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual.  The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
    What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max.  Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
    On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind!  To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project?  Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue.  I'd sincerely appreciate it!  Thanks all!

    David,  you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
    That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
      May I offer you advice?
    Go here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
    Open "Exploring Logic Pro"  (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
    I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

  • Garage Band Audio Drivers

    After Upgrading my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.4.1 I am unable to run Garageband '08. When I try to play one of my old projects the following message appears:
    ! GARAGE BAND HAS DETECTED A POSSIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN ONE OR MORE THIRD PARTY MIDI OR AUDIO DRIVERS. BE SURE TO INSTALL THE LATEST DRIVERS FOR ALL AUDIO AND MIDI EQUIPMENT.
    Can someone please tell me what the latest drivers are and what is a reliable place to acquire them.
    I did download and installed PACE drivers, which I believe allow you to open protected files.
    Thank you.
    RL

    Thanks for the prompt reply  Cristoph. That is exactly what I did. It turns out there were a few prior discussions
    regarding this issue, all advocating for the same method:  I went to the Library folder,  took out both Digidesign drivers from the Audio Midi Folder created a new folder within the Library and dumped them into it.
    Voilå!! Garage Band works again! Thank you.

  • Garage Band audio with digital AV adapter

    When I connect my iPad 2 to the TV via the optional HDMI digital AV adapter, the audio signal from most apps and system sounds is transferred to the TV via the HDMI link - ie I can hear the audio on both the iPad and the TV. The exception is with Garage Band - the audio from this app does not seem to export to the TV. I've searched in the General audio settings and the audio set up of Garage Band, but I can't find anything related to this. Surely there must be a way of configuring this great app so the the audio is exportable?

    You need to turn on the 'AirPlay-Bluetooth-HDMI' option in setup within GarageBand. Then it will work.

  • Know why my mix from Garage Band imported into iTunes is incomplete?

    I got a spankin' new iMac and I'm trying to download original Garage Band mixes (combo of midi and real instrument tracks, no more than 12) into iTunes to write a CD. Regardless of the mix format (aif, aac, mp3), when I import into iTunes, some mixes only inlcude one or two of the tracks (the songs play perfectly in Garage Band). One attempt with a song from an aif file imported into iTunes as 9 seperate files, one for each track!

    What steps did you take?
    Usually you would be able to export song to iTunes via Share --> Send song to iTunes...
    I never encountered any problems but maybe you are doing something different?

  • How do i convert a garage band recording into a wav file?

    I made a recording in Garage Band that I need upload to a particular website, but it only accepts wav files.
    Supported WAV formats:
      - Mono is preferable to stereo, but stereo is accepted.
      - 8000Hz, 16-bit, PCM, mono is the recommended format.
      - 44,100Hz, 16-bit, PCM is also supported
      - mp3 files are NOT supported
    Does anyone know how to do this? I went on You Tube which says to send to iTunes selecting WAV, but it does not seem to be working. Any suggestions?
    Andrea

    GB doesn't export .wav files. Sharet he file to disk as an uncompressed AIFF file, then use iTunes to convert it to .wav. (Go to iTunes' import settings and select .wav.)

  • How can I turn garage band files into mp3s?

    On my older Macbook i have always been able to easily turn my .band files into mp3s under the Advanced heading in itunes, but with my Macbook Pro, that is not an option. The option has become "Create AAC version". How can I turn my .band files into mp3s so that I can load them onto my web page and my students can pick them up as mp3s and put them on their devices?

    The option has become "Create AAC version".
    Your iTunes importing preferences are currently set to AAC. If you change your Importing preferences to mp3, the option should then become "Create mp3 version". See the following document for some more details:

  • Can i install Garage Band Loods into Logic Pro X?

    I just started using Logic Pro X. Based on the version of Garage Band on my iPhone I expected to find many more rock-oriented loops, drum kits and beats. Is this stuff only on iPhones? For example "60's Shuffle", "Bar Band Basic Drumset", "Brush Train Drumset", "Crowd Groove Drumset", "Funked Out Drumset", all this stuff and many many more loops should be in Logic Pro X Loops right?

    I'm not sure how I did that, since I started with Logic 8, so my loops could be from 8, 9 or X, though I believe they do not really differ much between the versions. I believe Logic just takes the name of the folder(s) to get those dropdown names, but I'm not sure about that either. I'm also not sure if the GB loops are/were also installed if you never had GB installed, though that could well be.
    So, all in all I'm pretty unsure, it seems.

  • Lost garage band audio files

    i recorded a very important gig last night, and i was trying to arrange the audio into sections, and i cut a few pieces out, knowing i could just undo and get them back. unfortunately, i saved my piece, with those audio files cut out, and now there gone. is there any way possible i can get that audio back?

    if you only removed parts of a region, you can just drag the edges back. any region you completely removed, and then saved, is gone.

  • GARAGE BAND TO ITUNES TO IMOVIE not recognising Garageband files from iTunes

    Hi there. I am trying to import interview voice files from Garageband into iMovie. I have used the Share option to export to iTunes and have then opened iMovie to drag the files from my iTunes lists. Files showing up in iMovie  as '0' secs in length. But in iTunes they are showing up as full files (approx 13 minutes). Have tried MP3 and AAC  - same problem. What am i doing wrong? I am using Garageband 11 and iMovie 11 on a MacBook Pro running Version 10.6.8
    Any help much appreciated as I am on a tight deadline!! Thank you!

    I think it may be easier to export from GB as AAC and then convert to AIFF in iTunes.
    Here are the instructions from iTunes Help. Remember when you are finished to go back and change the iTunes import preferences to what it originally was.
    You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).
    When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn’t notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, importthe music again from the original source using the new encoding format.
    Important:  You can’t convert iTunes Store purchases unless they’re iTunes Plus songs.
    Hide
    To convert a song’s file format:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
    In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.
    Select one or more songs in your library and choose Advanced > Create Format Version.
    The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.

  • HT201368 I got an error message when trying to import a Garage Band song into Logic Express 9.

    Logic Express 9.1.8 (which I have) claims to be the most recent update.

    YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

  • Garage Band into Powerpoint

    I'm trying to import a Garage Band file into Powerpoint for Mac. When I link to the file with an action button in Powerpoint, I get an error message saying Powerpoing can't read file (or something similar).
    Is there a way to save a garage band edit into a recognizable file that powerpoint can read?
    D

    You'll have to export your GB file to iTunes (as an AAC or AIFF file). Then PP will probably be able to read it.

  • Recording in Garage Band

    Hello,
    I can record into GB using my Mac's built-in mic, but when I try to record with an external mic, using a Tascam US-122, although the GB meters show that GB is hearing the sounds, it will not record the sounds. I have downloaded the updated drivers for OSX 10.3 from the Tascam web site, but Tascam doesn't seem to offer any more recent update than that. I am running OSX 10.4.7. Is this version of the OS just too new, or am I missing some technical detail/work around? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Yes, Tascam US-122 shows up in the Garage Band Audio input and output, as well as in the Sound I & O selections in System Prefs. Negative on Intel. I am using an aluminum G-4 PowerBook with 2 GB of RAM and no other apps open when I am in Garage Band. I am running OSX 10.4.7.
    I am now getting a tiny bit of audio output on playback when I record into Garage Band, but only if I turn the output volume up to 11 on the Tascam unit. However the fault seems neither to be the Tascam itself, nor the external vocal mic (a Carvin knock-off of a Shure SM 58). All of the wiring, the connections and the powered speakers are functioning perfectly. If I turn the monitor on and sing or speak into the mic, I get all the volume I could ever ask for out of the speakers, with fine clarity and no static, etc. that might indicate faulty wiring or loose connectors. But when I record into GB with the record levels turned all the way up in the System Prefs Sound pane, Garage Band, and on the US-122, the playback comes out barely audible...even though all the VU meters are maxing out when I record, and the playback level is going off the scale during playback. Any ideas? I am flummoxed.

  • Skype, Soundflower, and Garage Band

    I am trying to record podcast with some people around the country, so that put me with iChat, now I can't talk to people on iChat that are on AIM on a pc, so that's out.
    So now I turn to Skype and Soundflower. Soundflower let's me take the audio from the Skype conversation and send it to Garage Band and let's me hear while it till send to Garage Band. Now when I do this I either have Garage Band hearing only me, or only the Conversation without me.
    So I said well if Garage Band can have multiple inputs then I can have a track that will be the Skype and a Track that will be my Microphone and it will work great. Now I don't know Garge Band well enough to know how to do this, that is why I aam here.
    Settings:
    Skype-
    Audio Output: Soundflower (2ch)
    Audio Input: AK5370 (That's my USB mic)
    Garage Band-
    Audio Output: Built-In Audio
    Audio input: Soundflower (2ch)
    Soundflower-
    Soundflower (2ch)>
    Channel 1: Built-In Audio [2]
    Channel 2: Built-In Audio [2]
    Soundflower (16ch)-
    None (Off)
    So that there gives me great sound from the Skype conversation(without me). So as I said before I need a way for Garage Band to have another input for me on a seperate track.
    Thanks< Kyle/MicroJupiter

    I have no familiarity with either Skype or SoundFlower (other than knowing what the both are), but here's an off the cuff - out of the box - thought.
    Does SoundFlower appear to OS X as a virtual Hardware Device?
    What I'm thinking, if it does, is that you could create an Aggregate Device in Audio MIDI Setup utility that consists of your 5370 and Skype
