Garage Band Podcast Female Voice

I am trying to produce an all-vocal podcast using Garage Band, and when I record my voice, it sounds deep and draggy. I tried to change the pitch, but that didn't work.

I am using the built-in mic, but for some reason, the problem fixed itself. Now I have a new issue. I want to fade out my jingle only and not the vocal recording. How do you edit one region at a time?

It's pretty detailed an also has a couple of Compressor presets that you can download and use inside Compressor.
Hope it helps.

Minimum Processor for Garage Band 3

Hello Happy New Year!
I have a G5 1.8 that I use as my main computer, and use Final Cut, and Garage Band a lot of the time.
I also have a small sound studio in my basement, and would like to get another back-up computer to also use Garage Band, and Pro Tools.
The Apple minumum requirement for the installation of iLife 06 is a Power Mac G4 733 Mhz processor.
With this information, I'm leaning toward buying an 800 mhz, 933mhz, or even 1 Gig mhz Power Mac G4. Do you guys think I should shoot for no less than a 1 Gig Processor to be on the safe side? I'm also trying to safe a little money too.
Thank you
Mike

Hi Hang Time
How ya doin?
Thank you so much for your reply ....
"It depends on how far you plan to push GB, and how/what exactly you plan to record"
Yes well, I'd like to use the 2nd computer (with Garage Band), to record voice-overs. Say about 10-15 minutes of dialogue at any one time on a single Garage Band track. I don't intend to do any multi-tracking musical scores, but definitely some voice-overs.
What do you think:
Say at least a 1 Gig Processor, and 1 Gig Minimum Ram?
Thanx again
Mike

Garage Band Jingles?

Is There any way to Use the Pre-made Garage Band Podcast Jingles in my SoundTrack Project?
I've always Used them in My iMovie projects and I'd love to use them in my Soundtrack and Final Cut Express Projects too.

Hi HookedonMac,
1- open Soundtrack
2- click the 'setup' button in the 'media and effects manager' window on the left-hand side of the screen
3- click the 'plus' symbol at the top-left of the little pop-up screen to add a directory
4- find your jingles on your computer - there are a few places they could be so make sure to look around, but you can start with this one: /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/iLife Sound Effects/Jingles
Good luck.
In Solidarity,
Alain

I though of doing it that way. It is kinda a long process and it would really plug up my itunes if i exported ALL the jingles i wanted. I was just wondering if anyone knew a shorter way.
Thanks for the help.

Okay! I Figured out the Problem. For some reason the My Library Receipts (where the jingles were located) was "indexed" in Soundtrack. I indexed it and it seemed to help.
Just for anyone else who has this problem, If you want to see JUST the jingles you have to go into
Genres> Choose the Genre you want> Select NOT LOOPING. Jingles don't loop, so you should see the jingles in that Genres.

Podcast voice recording on Garage Band

I'm trying to use garageband for a podcast but my voice sounds like l'm in a tunnel. How can I change that? I'm using logitech earphones with speaker micro which work very well for skype but sounds different (not as good) on garage band. Any ideas for me anyone?

Make sure that all the audio effects are off. Click on the little i symbol in the bottom right corner and then edit near the top. It is probably reverb or an echo, those are near the bottom right again. Left side of each one there is a little rectangle that is blue if it is on. Click it to turn it off. Hope this helps!

Voices and 2 mics with Garage Band

Kinda new to Garage Band, so I'm not sure if I have the newest one or not. But I have 2 questions regarding Garage Band:
1. I noticed it has 3 different tracks for voices: Podcast track, male voice and female voice. Does it make any difference which is used? My husband and will soon be podcasting, and I'm not sure what the difference would be.
2. We're contemplating purchasing headset microphones. Would a headset splitter plugged into the "line in" jack work? Or would we be better off purchasing a good quality microphone be better?
Any other tips/hints anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Without seeing the interface, I don't believe you can record on the podcast track. That's for enhancement (jpg's).
However the male and female tracks can be used for lot of things, not just voicing. You can use those tracks for music and sfx's.
And you can always add tracks but using the pull down menu or clicking the big + button to create additional tracks.
I do a lot of podcasting. I'd advise you to purchase a mixer if you're using more than one mic and plan on using other outside sources of audio, such as audio recorded by mini disc or compact flash players. You can find a workable mixer for about a hundred bucks. You'll also need a digital converter to get that analog signal into your MAC.
Those things will run you around $200-300
If you're using one mic, and don't plan on any other audio sources, you can do without the digital converter, but my experience is you'll need a mic pre-amp. Those go for about a hundred bucks on up.
As for mics, you can find deals on those anywhere. The bigger houses (BSWUSA, Sweetwater and Guitar Centers) have a good selection. Again, just my experiece, but you probably want to start with a dynamic mic rather than a condenser, unless you have a real good sound proof studio. Condenser mics are 'hot' mics and pick up just about every background noise. Whether you want a headset or table/arm support mic is up to you. Again, there's a wide variety out there.
The support on this web site is terrific. You'll find a lot of good advice. Here's another one to check out: www.podsqod.com. The guy who runs it is always talking about cutting edge equipment.
Hope some of that helps...good luck!

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.

Voice Over in Garage Band

I was using Final Cut Express HD to make a Voice Over, but I was told that Garage Band makes a better VO. I made my VO in Garage Band and it sounded great. I open Final Cut and could not import the VO.
Any Suggestions?

Seek and you will find, I found this in garage band help:
You can send a project containing a podcast track to iTunes as a podcast. The podcast track must be visible when you export the project. When you send a podcast to iTunes, the podcast file is a compressed (AAC) file rather than an uncompressed (AIFF) file.
To send a podcast to iTunes:
If the podcast track is hidden, choose Track > Show Podcast Track.
Choose Share > Send Podcast to iTunes.
You can also export a project containing a podcast track to disk as a podcast by choosing Share > Export Podcast to Disk.
If the podcast track is hidden when you send the project to iTunes, the command Send Song to iTunes appears in the menu. Choosing this command exports only the audio in AIFF format.

Garage Band for voice over

I would like to use garage band for Voice Over auditions. Would it be best to use "Create a Song" setting or "Podcast" to do this kind of work? Thank You in advance.

(Deleted since the question has moved to the GB3 forum)

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.

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

How do I take a voice memo and save it in my music app or use it as a sample in garage band

i don't know how to use a voice memo on my iPhone 5c in garage band as a sample or audio recording. I also want to save it under my music app

to do both of these, you will need to go through iTunes: sync your iPhone, change the nature of the voice memo from "voice memo" to "music", make sure it shows in your iTunes library, then sync the iPhone again.

Is it possible to edit the voice of a song created in Garage band?

Hello to all!
Using music tracks, I am singing songs in different languages using Garage band. After I import these songs into my FCPX projects, is it possible for me to break up the individual tracks [the music track apart and the voice track apart] so that I may apply effects to the voice track alone?
Thanks in advance.

I am not an expert in GarageBand, but if you are exporting a single AIFF file from GB there is no easy way to separate those tracks.
Better to export them separately to begin with. I can't see an automatic way to do it, but it is not difficult to do it manually:
Suppose you are creating a song called "MySong" and you have a music track a vocal track (or several music tracks and a vocal track, the idea is the same).
1) Disable the vocal track by clicking on the little button shaped like a speaker. Export your song using Share->Export Song to Disk... and call it, say, "MySong-Music" (don't use compression, so that GB creates an AIFF file rather than AAC or MP3 - you may have heard numerous admonishments against using compressed audio in FCP X)
2) Enable the vocal track and disable the other(s) and similarly create "MySong-vocals".
3) Import both audio files into FCP X and (optionally, but probably a good idea to keep things organized) make them into a compound clip. Note that you'll need to open the compound clip's timeline and manually move one of the tracks below the other, as the compound clip will have them in sequence; but they are the same lenght, so there is no synchronization difficulty.
4) Make as many edits as you like

How Can I record Phone Interviews in Garage Band for a podcast?

Hello...I have a Blue Snowball microphone, IMAC, and Garage Band 3.0.2.
I would like to record phone interviews in Garage band and be able to keep the incoming call at a high enough and clear enough level. So I am not to loud and they are not to low.
This wil be or a podcast.
Please help, any ideas?
-Chris

There's cheap telephone interfaces at Radio Shack (you might do a search in this forum, they have been mentioned before) which plug into the Mac's line-in. Since the Snowball is USB, you can go to the Audio-Midi Utility and create an "Aggregate Device" that consists of your line-in and your Snowball - that way you can record the two sources to two separate tracks and adjust their levels independently.

Podcasting with skype,ichat and garage band at the same time

Hi,
so here is my problem I have a podcast show and I record one of my hosts through i chat into garage band and the other is a phone guest through skype.....everything is going through an alesis mixer...the problem is my i chat host cannot hear the skype phone guest....what should I do??

Microphone into mixer. Output of computer into mixer. Skype and iChat routed to computer output. Skype, iChat and Garageband inputs all set to mixer output (either analogue output plugged into computer line in or using the USB connection). Turn monitoring in GB off.
Now everyone should be able to hear everyone, but the Skype and iChat contributors will also hear themselves coming back with a delay, which makes it very difficult to talk.
There is a way round this, but it involves having two separate audio-USB interfaces (which shouldn't be the same model) - they need to be able to handle both ways at the same time, and many don't. I assume that your Alesis is much the same as mine.
Microphone to mixer. Skype output and input to interface A. iChat output and input to interface B. Set GarageBand input to mixer main output as above.
Microphone channel : turn up sends to Aux A and B
Skype channel: turn up send to Aux B only
iChat channel: turn up send to Aux A only
Plug Aux A output to interface A
Plug Aux B output to interface B
You have now set up what is called 'clean feed' in the UK ('mix minus' in the USA). Skype should receive the microphone and iChat but not itself, iChat should receive the microphone and Skype but not itself. Everything should be heard by Garageband.
You may find some difficulty in getting this to work. The main sticking point is going to be that the interfaces have to work in both directions at the same time, and as I said, many don't.
Skype will handle conference calls and this would be a simpler solution!
