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?

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.

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x? Sorry if this is a newbie question. I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX. Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video. Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

Try:
Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
Import that file into FCPX.

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

GB does not support exporting MIDI files, you'd need to open the file with Logic to do that

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.

Hello everyone,
I am new to Garage Band, pardon me if my question is too basic.

drop the file into a blank area of the timeline
Thanks HangTime, a bit embarrassed here. How do I drop the file ?
U mean I open another window using FInder, select the file in Finder & then drop on the timeline ?
Thanks, really appreciate your help.
Cheers

Probably but for that kind of expertise I would ask the experts in the GarageBand forum.

Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard, garage band/MAC and Alesis 8.0multitrack mixer, or should I go direct into the USB of the Alesis with my keyboard into the mixer?

Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard and alesis 8.0 multitrack mixer when interfacing with Garage Band? Or can I just go direct USB MAC into the Alesis Mixer with keyboard directly into the Mixer? ie, is the interface overkill?

First of all the Alesis 8.0 is a usb audio interface so you already have a interface. Next you could go from the Roland into the Alesis into the Mac. You could also go from the Roland headphone or line out into the Mac Pro audio input. And depending on what Roland keyboard you have, you may be able to use Midi (usb) and use the Macs Midi voices.

Can't Import Right Protected AAC songs into Garage Band

I have always been able to take a track from my iTunes library (whether the track was a purchased iTunes or one ripped from a CD) and bring into Garage Band to play with (I'm currently trying to make christmas ringtones for my Droid). All of a sudden, Garage Band is giving me an error code that I can't import songs that are right protected. I just imported (and saved as a ringtone) a song and now, 20 minutes later I can't do it. Does anyone have an answer for me? I appreciate any feedback.

It was never possible to import DRM protected songs from iTunes. The others were probably unprotected songs (which you can buy on iTunes too).

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

I am trying to make a mix on Garage Band by dropping songs in the tracks from an ITunes playlist. I have done this many many times and suddenly I am unable to drop the tracks into Garage band. They swoosh right back into the iTunes playlist

Suddenly I am unable to transfer songs from iTunes to Garage Band. When I try to bring the songs over to Garage Band they will not drop into the track. They immediately go back into iTunes. I have made many mixes using GB and cannot figure out what has happened. Ive looked through system prefences, help window, etc. and cannot understand what has happened. Any advice?

either use the Media Browser in GB, or drop the actual song file into the timeline (cmnd-shift-r will reveal the file from iTunes):
