How can I lock a track volume level to never move in Garageband?

Hi there
I'm currently creating a backing track of a popular song and I have built up all the parts of the songs against a wav track which contains the original version of the song.
I want to be able to mix the volumes of the tracks Ive built to the main proper recording, but I need to be able to LOCK the actual wav song track at say the 1.7db mark. Is this possible?
As I cant do it now, I keep accidently adjusting the volume level of the actual wav song track, so then all my volume mixes on other tracks are rendered useless (As you cant UNDO a volume change back to how it was)
Even if I engage the padlock "lock" button on the actual wav song track I can still move the volume of that track up and down. So its not 100% locked in my opinion.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Do you mean:-
Select the track
Click Down Arrow
Make sure Track Volume is selected
Click on the dot that has been created at the start of the track (to check its number level)
Click on the line now showing at the very end of the song and make sure the NEW dot you've just created is at the same number level as the one at the start.
As this seems to work.
If I dont put any dots on it, you can move it as you please still.

How do you change the track volume so that it moves with your project?

I understand you can change track volume for a given track (by hitting the down arrow and fade it up and down). BUT then if you move that track - the track volume stays where it is so your volumes then get all messed up - any solutions?

How can I even out the volume levels of my audio?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to FCE and to editing in general.
I've got a clip which contains a conversation, my camera is pointed at one of the speakers and their side of the conversation is significantly louder than the other.
Is there a filter I can use to make the loud side quieter and the quiet side louder in order to hear both sides of the conversation at roughly the same volume?
TIA,
Rob.

Hi Rob,
I asked a similar question recently, and though I ended up concluding the easiest thing was to just adjust the volume manually as Ian suggested, you can take a look at the suggestions I was given about possible filters and such here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1564173&tstart=0
Hope that helps; good luck!

How can I set the microphone input level?

It would be best to use the standard windows mixer "sndvol32.exe" (in the windows directory) and control it with the System Exec.vi from the Communication palette.

Hi! I really couldn't find no way to lock the screen, except pressing the top button (what only cancel any touch you do in the screen).
That's an old discussion about (failure vs feature), but I wonder about if you are running, you can let the screen locked and still change or pause the song by pressing the buttons on the side of the iPod)
hope I could help you

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

How can i lock my iphone in a way that i won't be able to receive any incoming call nor retreive its information?

In the phrase " i wanna be able to reveive the call without being able to answer nor see who is calling" what do you mean by able to receive the call but not be able to answer it or see who is calling?
I do not understanhow you can receive the call but not be able to answer or seee who called. If you do not answer it how can you receive it?

I am not expecting it to be returned. I just want the unit to become useless already so that stolen/lost Iphone or any kind of apple brand gadget will no longer be of interest by others to buy it from any thief or any person who will resell it in just a small amount.

Sorry, but if you did not set up Find My iPhone, then unless your iPhone is set up with a company Microsoft Exchange server or other mobile device management system, there is no way to wipe the iPhone of its data, though if you had a screen lock in it, the thieves/finder will probably restore it and wipe the data anyway. There is no way to lock the iPhone permanently to prevent someone from using your iPhone, though you can report the loss to your cell carrier and they may be able to blacklist it from connecting to their network.
Regards.

How can I lock a clip to storyline, timeline or song in Final Cut Pro?

My friends and I made our own version of Pharrell Williams happy video and I'm trying to edit it. The thing is that there are places where we sing and we want the song to match our lips so how can I lock the clip in place? I'm very new to editing and FCP so please write detailed directions.
Thanks =)
Here is an example of the video:

when it comes to 're-edit' things.. such as:
2014 FIFA World Cup on ESPN Commercial: I Believe
which 'inspired' me to do that:
http://youtu.be/du4xWTtYKVY
(the kids are my son's team)
I drag the original into the storyline
I set Markers (keyboard: m) to the original edit-points
I have the pre-selections of my material in the Events browser, set edit-mode to 'video only'/shift-2
set playhead to marker (magnetic is a good help), hit q
'fine tune' the edit (edit/colors/effects/...)
select clip and cmd-shift-arrow-down to apply final edit to the storyline
jump to next marker (ctrl-' )
That is a very fast way to 'dub' professional edits; and: I'm learning a lot, e.g. it is not only the edit-points, but the 'content' which makes a good edit 'flow' (which lacks my version) ...

How can I lock my camera so it saves pictures in landscape mode

How can I lock my camera so that it will take and save pictures in landscape mode. I use the iPhone 5, IOS 8.1.1.
I take pictures with the camera held horizontal and the home button to the right. When I save the pictures to my iMAC in iPhoto they need rotation.
I can't find a camera app in the Apple Apps Store.

How can I lock the file in use

Dear All, I transfer the large text file to Solaris 10 server and copy the this file with transfer not success to another path. but I can open the file with end of file. How can I lock the file with transfer not successfully.

Locking on UNIX is cooperative, not manditory. That means that all applications need to check for the lock explicitly and then not use the file if the lock exists.
But if something is accessing the file beyond your control, locking isn't going to prevent it.
If you do control all the access points, then take a look at lockf or flock functions.
