Garageband won't split audio track?

For some reason the split transition in the edit list is not functioning properly. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? It was working just fine towards the beginning of the audio file, but now, nothing.
Thanks,
R

"not functioning properly" doesn't really tell us anything at all (kind of like "My car was working a couple of days ago, now it's not working right. Do you know what's wrong?")
Give us a step by step of what you're doing, and what's happening/what you're seeing, including defining what "not functioning properly" means. With some luck, someone will have an idea for you.

Splitting audio track

I want to split an audio track in iMovie 09, and then move the end piece of the audio split to another section of my video. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I did think of that, but in trying it, the tracks overlap each other, and it's hard to figure out which track is which. I can see both as green lines above and below the movie frames, but can't select the added one--only the original will highlight. In clip trimmer, I can't tell one track from another.
I haven't used GarageBand, just looked at it, and at first glance, don't see an easy way to open an iTunes tune, clip out 6 seconds I want, save it, and add to my iMovie.
My goal is just to take a small slice of the music and add it to the closing of the movie. In Photo to Movie, it's real easy to clip the audio (I'm creating movies from stills, and dropping movies once I go to iMovie) so maybe I should stick to using P to M for music purposes. But I'll take a look at the tutorial you mention. Thanks much.

Is it possible to set up a split audio track....

...while recording and create 2 channels with their own effects settings. I have a Tascam US-122MKII audio interface. If one guitar is plugged into LEFT channel and one into RIGHT channel, can they be split up while recording? I don't quite know if the TASCAM allows for this I'm not seeing anything in the manual and don't see wether LOGIC is capable of doing that? The idea is to record 2 guitars at once but split up the stereo into seperat tracks and then add effects so that each player has a different sound. The TASCAM allows 2 intruments ie: voice/guitar,or right and left XLR input but so far everything is imported to 1 stereo track...Any ideas on wether it's possible? Thanks everyone.

Hi
What I'm saying is:
Make a new MONO audio track (use the + button). Assign it to input 1
Make a second new MONO track, assign it to input 2
Name both tracks, record-enable both tracks, and record.
You could, of course, make both tracks in one go via the new track dialog box, and hav ethem automatically assigned to ascending inputs.

Split audio tracks come back in as still stereo??

Zoom recorded audio track. Two interleaved tracks. One side voice, the other side guitar. The track comes in as a stereo track. I export out the track as 'split'. The exported result is two separate mono files. One file is voice, the other file is guitar. So far, so good.
I bring the two separate mono tracks BACK into Logic ... and EACH ONE is still a stereo track with the voice and guitar on left and right respectively.
I'm trying to figure out why Logic is doing this ... and what click I am missing that is causing it.
All ears,
Ben

If the Logic 'mono' files are in the same folder - when I bring them into Logic, Logic somehow turns them back into stereo (no matter which I bring in, left or right). If I take the Logic created mono files and re-export them with Quicktime 7, then they come into Logic as separate 'mono' files.
If I separate the two mono files into different folders, then bring them in one at a time, they come in as separate 'mono' files. When they are in the same folder, no such luck, they come in as two 'stereo' files, even though they SAY 'mono'.
So Logic has some kind of unusual protocol where it somehow reads a split mono file as the original unsplit stereo file (if both files come from the same folder).
Is there a way to alter this protocol??? I'm getting the 'logic' of why Logic does this.

Record desktop with split audio tracks?

Is there some program that can record the desktop, as well as multiple audio channels? I need to keep the audio channels split, so I can later individually mute them and edit them when I need to.
If there is no such application available for Linux, I guess the only option would be to record the audio separately. Feel free to suggest audio recording applications able to record multiple channels too. I'd prefer to have just one application handling both video and audio though, as that prevents any potential syncing issues.
Thanks in advance!

Presuming you have your audio devices configured as separate streams (be they jack, alsa or pulse) you can use ffmpeg via the command line to record desktop using the x11grab input source and then route as many audio tracks as you desire. Check the ffmpeg wiki for more. Googlefu applies. Let me know if you need help with more direct information.

How to split audio tracks into left and right channels as we do in FCP or Avid needed for dubbing?

We are recording in two languages, one in left and the other in right channel. However, in Adobe Premiere Pro we are not able to split the track when we take up for rought cut. Both the tracks are found mixed. Pl help. Since we need to maintian the split track to dubb into other languages.

You need to do this before adding the footage to the sequence:
Select the clip (or multiple clips) in the bin
Menu > Clip > Modify > Audio Channels (Shift G)
Change 'Number of Audio Tracks' to 2
Change 'Channel Format' to Mono
Dismiss the info message.
When you place the clip in a sequence it will now drop L and R into separate tracks (assuming your sequence allows that audio model).

Any way to split audio tracks in iMovie 09?

The only way I know how to shorten an audio clip (after all the video clips are there) is by changing the duration of the clip in the inspector. This can be rather laborious, trying to guesstimate the point at which you want the music to end. Anyone knows of a more efficient way?

Convert the Trailer to a standard project. You may then be able to edit the title or replace the title with one more suited to what you wish to apply. To convert the Trailer, in iMovie's menu select File>Convert to Project. Now you can edit virtually any part of the converted Trailer, but be careful to maintain the duration - otherwise the video will not match up perfectly with the supplied audio track.

Why won't both audio tracks appear on the timeline????

Hello,
here is a dumb question. When I drag my clips to the timeline only one audio track appears on the timeline and I know there are two track of audio. I must have accidently changed some settings. anyone know what's up?
Thanks for your help

Are both audio tabs connected to the timeline? Just to the left of the timeline are the V1 and A1 and A2 audio tabs from the source clips. Is one disconnected?

Splitting audio tracks

ok, so i have a vocal track, and the friend of mine who did it said some pretty vile things (and trust me, when i say vile, i mean viiiiiiiiiiiile! haha) so what id like to do is go in and cut out the small pieces of audio where those lovely words rest and then twist them up or reverse them as to make them illegible.
i would just have him come in and do another take, but i have a feeling this is a once in a lifetime thing and i could probly never pull that out of him again. lol, so any advice is much appreciated!
all the best!
p&L

Select the scissors tool, go to the beginning of the offending region and cut there; the same at the end.
Change yout tool to arrow and double click on the segment that you created: that shoul open the audio editor.
Select all the waveform and, under the Functions menu, choose Reverse (not Inverse!).
cheers

Anyway to split audio track?

Is there anyway to split an audio clip.
A voiceover, so to speak. Like splitting a video clip?
never mind. I found it... thanks.

curious what your solution was as I am just beginning to cut something

Split audio tracks between speakers

I'm trying to develop a dichotic listening task where separate tracks are played through each speaker which are listened to at the same time. I need help! Do I use Premiere or Audition and if so, how?

Thank you. I played around with this all day and found the problem was bringing the track (its a person saying a list of words) in as mono it only displayed on the one speaker. I figured it out in Audition (it doesn't have a video track) but it is cumbersome because I have to open the track in the waveform, copy and paste it into both speakers, then delete one or the other speaker tracks in order to push one to the left and one to the right. It is for a research project I am doing. Next step is to match the different words so they start and stop at the same time! thanks again.

No visual of separate audio tracks

In the beginning, iMovie opens. I see picture and hear audio from the imported footage.
The audio exists in the video track. Then, I drag audio from GarageBand to the separate audio tracks. But wait!
In timeline view I don't see the visible presentation of the audio tracks. It is blank.
However, I can hear the audio that I have just dragged to the invisible audio tracks. I 'undo' the audio drag, and there is no audio to be heard on the separate tracks (so, I know I have some control over the audio).
But, there are no distinguishable tracks.
The area is blank.
The audio tracks are audible, and not visible.
It's as if the programmer forgot to put in the thing that tells the machine to show the tracks.
What's up doc?
P.S. Maybe we should get things right before we move onto other things.

Hi Wayne:
Try deleting the imovie preference file. Locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
Then try this list (compliments of P.T.Patrick):
*Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
*Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
*Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
*Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
*Reboot your Mac.

Can you export a Quicktime with multiple audio tracks?

I have a video with split audio tracks.
I'd like to archive a copy that retains all the individual tracks so that other people could just open the file later and not have to reconstruct the tracks (i could certainly archive all the tracks individually).
the problem i'm having is that FCP seems to only want to allow me to export 2 tracks of audio. I may be missing a setting, but i'm not sure.
I can digitize a clip from a digibeta with 4+ tracks, and when i open the clip in QT, it recognizes the individual tracks, so it seems as if the capabilities are there.
have they just not been integrated yet?

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

How to not overlap two audio tracks?

Hi, I use Adobe Premiere and I recently I had a problem with Action! (a video recording program) if you register the microphone and the stereo, Premiere overlaps the two audio and is not making me hear my microphone. I also tried to click the check mark on recording program (split audio tracks) but Premiere not divides. How can I create two audio tracks divided on the same record?

Are you saying that if you walk up to your Mac, iTunes suddenly opens?
At any rate, you should be using two different accounts on the Mac, each of you logging into your respective accounts, if you don't want common syncing.
