Garageband adding effects like reverb and echo

Here is the deal. I want to add effects on a specific parts of a track. Now I can select a part of a track but it seems it only allows to edit these parts through the scissorbutton on the down left part of the programm. If I change the reverb on the right, this changes the reverb of the whole track, not just the selected area.
Is is even possible to change the reverb or echo of selections within a track? Is there a way to make these adjustments?
Dragging the selections to another track doesn't seem to work either. And I have to edit many little pieces.

Just a suggestion, but you might get better replies if you post in the appropriate Garageband forum where the GB gurus hang out!

Garageband X, master reverb and echo

I've recently got the new garageband X. I am a bit confused about how to adjust the master reverb and echo, I have the global setting activated in preferences, and can see the echo and reverb sends on individual tracks which adjust the amount of reverb and echo added, but where are the settings that edit the type of echo and reverb added?

I can't figure out why my reverb and echo things are greyed out

I can't figure out why my reverb and echo things are greyed out on the bottom right of my screen with the edit tab open for the track. I was going to put a screenshot in here but I couldn't figure it out. I one can understand what I mean. Thank you.

Hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

First, I want to clear up some vocabulary issues. After Effects is not intended for editing video. Editing involves cutting shots together to tell a story. Premiere Pro edits video. While you technically can cut video together in AE, Premiere is much, much better for that.
After Effects is used for creating shots - visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, animation, color correction, color grading, etc.
What exact version number of AE (down to the decimal points) are you using? Plus the questions Todd asked, plus the info in the link he gave.
Also, if you're new to AE, you should really start here. This resource will give you a foundation in how to actually use After Effects that will probably clear up your current problem and prevent much more frustration in the future.

Reverb and echo send's ?

Hey all , wondering how the send feature works for the reverb & echo. 2 Wks. ago I learned how the automation works & now it's on to this.
Any help would be great.
Thanks , Jim.

If you are refering to the Global Echo and Global Reverb, DON'T USE THEM.
They are only there for compatibility reasons with older GarageBand Projects.
In GarageBand X, you cannot change the paramters anymore (only adjust the send level). Also, these parameters are not saved with the new Patch (in case you use that cool feature to build your own settings).
Hope that helps

Adding Effects like slow motion, fast motion etc...

On the old imovie you could add animations, slow motion/fast motion, and other graphics to clips. How do you do the same with imove 08 most important the slow motion feature?

I'm currently using iMovie 08 and I would switch to iMovie 06 but when I try to install it but the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6" pops up. My computer went through a hard drive crash recently and when they replaced it I thought they popped in iLife '08 (hence being stuck with iMovie 08) but i dunno... suggestions?

Adding Effect (e.g shadow ) to image in Fxz files.

Hi
Can somebody show me how can I added Effect like shadow to images in the FXZ files ?
Below is an e.g of FXZ converted by “JavaFX Production Suite” from a svg file produce by inkscape.
I know an alternative is to edit the FXZ file.
Thanks in advance.

How many effects can you put on each track? and best reverb and chorus fx??

Hi,
I was wondering how many effects you can truly put on each track.
i tracked vocals last night and could only put two inserts in there. Is that all?
so if i want to eq my voice and add verb or eq my voice and add chorus, i can't even think of adding anything else???
also, what are the best reverbs and chorus effects to use that give your voice that professional sound that they have in R&B songs??

i tracked vocals last night and could only put two inserts in there. Is that all?
As you add a second plug-in, a third slot becomes available. Add a third plug-in, a fourth becomes available, etc...
also, what are the best reverbs and chorus effects to use that give your voice that professional sound that they have in R&B songs??
That "professional" sound (depending on what you're listening to) is the singer.
Yes, there are FX that enhance it, but a plain, non-effected vocal will sound professional if the singer is good.
If you're feeling like you have to add EQ, reverb, chorus, etc to sound "professional"... than the singing isn't good. Trust me on this one.
Aside from a good singer, having a quality microphone and pre-amp is a good place to start, gear-wise. Follow that up with a good hardware compressor, maybe EQ, and THAT alone should sound like a million bucks if the singer is the real deal.
Don't underestimate the importance of compression, when used correctly. This will even out the volume of the vocal, and bring it forward, making it seem more intimate.
Chorus is rarely a flattering effect, unless it's used very subtly, or an obvious "effected" sound is desired.
And a little bit of reverb can go a LONG way. A "smidge" of any of Logic's Space Designer vocal presets will do just fine.

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app?

But quantity is not everything.
Funny, because Windows proponents and users touted the quantity of apps available with that swiss cheese for security OS being "everything" or a big plus, but now say it isn't everything with iOS. Can't have it both ways.
At present there are about SIX blacklist apps in the OFFICIAL Apple Store which I can buy for MONEY but have NO USE AT ALL because of the APIs restrictions.
3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs for security reasons. Andrioid is following the same path as Windows. Their so called "open" OS is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS.
If this isn't acceptable to you or having an option to block unwanted calls provided by the iPhone's OS is a very important want or need, stick with an Android or Symbian device that includes the option.

I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

That link doesn't tell you how to remove the Panoroma Tab Groups!! My main issue with it is that along my tabs at the top I no longer have the tab to open a new tab. Instead I have to click on the tab groups and then open them and click on an open area in the tab to get a new tab opened!! Is there a way to add that? I don't see that when I go to customize the tool bar as there's no icon to add it, just one to open a new window, which I don't want to do!! Thanks!!

Garageband missing loops like Island long

Hi there.
Last year I took music in school. We used the schools macs on apps like garageband and Logic Pro.
I decided to buy myself a mac this year and, after installing the addon loops in garageband, I still only have 2000 loops.
I am unable to find the ones that are proper 'songs'/jingles like "island" and "Lowrider". How do I get these on my mac
Thanks in advance
Logan

Logan,
"island long" is a loop from the iLife Sound Effects. It is not a GarageBand Loop, but a loop that could be used with GarageBand, if the iLife 11 package has been installed. Do you own a copy of the iLife '11 DVD? Then try to reinstall the iLife '11 version of GarageBand. GarageBAnd 10 can use the loops. Or restore them from the last backup you made, before you upgraded to GarageBand 10.
-- Léonie
added: I don't know about "Lowrider" loops. The only loop I have with this name, is "Low Rider Sub Bass" in the "Tech House" collection. What is the fact name of the loop that is missing?

Illustrator and after effects workflow - versions and templates

Hi all
I'm looking to take some templates from illustrator, across to ae, animate and have a master version for a template.
Is there a way I can easily copy my master AE file, and then replace all the master illustrator files within it, with the new versions for a new template, so that everything animates the same etc, but if I change some text or something, the change will come in. I will be creating a bunch of pre animated symbols that can just be dragged and dropped, adding universal colour controls and converting any text to editable to use animation presets etc. So in the main, this versioning won't matter as most of it will be done entirely in AE without a regular graphics program. HOWEVER. I want my workflow to be sensible and I don't want to end up making copies of crap or working inefficiently.
I'd normally just copy and paste a new illustrator file over the top, same name, same layers. That works ok. However with this I'm gonna need versioning etc/ or to at least know which illustrator file is different.
I DONT want this work in a way that I wouldn't have to go into my layers folder and copy and replace each layer!!
The only way that I've come up with is to keep my masters as masters. Folder them away and never touch them other than to copy them.
Copy the masters into a new titled folder. Then open up the AE proj and rename that. Now my main problem is replacing the Illustrator files. My first idea was to rename the master files. Hopefully after effects would still understand where they are and not make me replace these layers?
Then once they are renamed, bring in the template to over write them, copy and replace, and it should all be hunky dory.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about or experienced creating templates like this before?
Thanks for any help.

You seem to understand the basics here but let me make a few points just to clarify what has to happen to make your workflow efficient and keep the animations working.
You can save any After Effects project file as a template by doing a save as command from the file menu. That will get you to step one. If you created your project by importing your master Illustrator file as a composition with either option selected you can automatically replace all of the layers in the project using a single right click browse and click if you follow a couple of rules.
The AI file must have exactly the same layer names, number of layers, and layers must be exactly the same size
The AI file must have exactly the same name
The replacement file must be in a different folder
Follow those rules and you can just open the Illustrator template, select the folder with your replacement footage, and then select one of the layers in the you want to replace and choose replace footage.
A simpler option, the option you described as setting up a bunch of duplicates, would be to create a new folder for each of your versions. Create your master Illustrator file and AE project inside the Master older. Now Copy and paste the original AE file into each of the version folders. Now simply open each Illustrator file inside each version folder and edit the content making sure that you follow the rules above. Now when you open the AE file inside the Version folder you will not have to replace the footage.
Here are a few problems with this workflow. First, your animations may not work if you change the size of any layer in the AI file. Second, you end up with a bunch of duplicate file names on your system. Third, It's hard to keep things straight.
There are other approaches. The first would be to create an animation preset for each of the layers in your master file. Just press UU to reveal all changed properties in a selected layer, select everything that is animated. If there are expressions in the layer make sure the properties with the expressions are also selected then go to the menu and select Animate>Save Animation Preset. When you have all of the animated layers in your composition saved as animation presets you can then start a new AE project, import your AI file as a composition exactly as you did before, and then select the layers one at a time and apply the animation presets to the appropriate layers.
This avoids the duplicate file name issue and allows a different version for each Project.
Another option is to use scripting to create a script that replaces all layers in a composition with a new source file. Here again, you must design your animation to either work with layers of different sizes or all of the layers in the new footage must be exactly the same size as the original master AI file.
Probably the best option would be to design your project so that the majority of the layers would be the same and come from a master file, then add another file that contains only the elements that you want to change. Most of my template projects involve text changes only and the text does not come from Illustrator, it comes from text layers. I'm referring to lower thirds. In that case I use a script that creates comps from spreadsheets. I simply load up the master template file with the master artwork, have a spreadsheet created with the data I need to replace, then run the script and a project with a bunch of new comps is automatically created and sent to the render cue to create the digital intermediates or sent to the Adobe Media Encoder for rendering the deliverable files.
To tell you the absolute truth, most of the work that I do that seems to be kind of like the work you are describing just involves opening an Illustrator file as a comp and applying a few animation presets to the layers. I have about 300 custom animation presets in my library that can be used on any layer of any size to create motion. Here's one of my favorites. It causes any sized layer at any scale to fly in, bounce then drop out of the frame no matter what size the comp. The only thing you have to set is the in and out point of the layer.

Getting the error (23::46) when adding effects to comp

Hi all,
If I try to add effects like Text-->Numbers or Obsolete-->Basic Text to a solid in my comp, i get the following error message "After Effects error: could not convert Unicode characters.". I have done some research on this and found people that had the same issue when trying to import footage or images. I get the message just by starting a new comp adding a solid and then try to add the effects mentioned above, so their is no footage or image involved here.
I`m running on Win7 Professional 64bit service pack 1 (english) and After Effects CC (12.2.1.5). I don`t think this is part of the problem but here are more hardware infos (just in case):
- NVIDIA GTX 570
- Intel Core i7 2600K
- 16GB DDR3 Corsair (CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9)
- ASUS P8P67 Mainboard
I`m running AE cc on a Lenovo U310 aswell and do not have any issues there, so I assume something must be wrong with the OS or with AE on my main PC. Does anyone have a clue what`s wrong?
Glad for any hint.
Thanks Michael

Thank you for your answear,
The thing is though, I don`t try to open a project or import a file when the error shows up. I simply start AE, make a new comp, add a solid and then try to add the "Numbers" or "Basic Text" effect to that solid. I simply can not imagine how this has something to do with characters in any file name or path. It doesn`t makle sense to me.
Any other ideas?
Thanks Michael
