How do i cut a song using garage band?

it is from itunes, and the itunes cutting of songs does not work.

needmusichelp,
welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It is not quite clear from your question, if you are asking about GarageBand on your MacBook Pro or GarageBand on an IOS device (iPad, iPhone)? For you posted in the GarageBand for IOS forum, but your "Profile" signature says MacBook Pro?
If you want to know about GarageBand on your Mac, start from the GarageBand Support page: http://www.apple.com/support/garageband/
Here are some easy to follow Video Tutorials:Video Tutorials
Most help is accessible from the "Help" menu in the GarageBand main menu bar: Click the "browse Help" button and look at the part "Create a Song Arrangement", i.e. the section "Arrange Regions in the Timeline": Split and join regions:
If you are asking about GarageBand on your iPad/iPod, the online manual is here:
http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.3/index.html#chsff8c89b
Again, see the section on "Edit Regions" on how to trim, split, and cut regions: Edit regions
Good luck for your project!

How do I use Garage Band to practice my guitar against lesson CDs and backing track CDs

GarageBand on your Mac or on an iPad?
If you are asking abot GB on a Mac you do the following:
Create a new GarageBand project with a Guitar track
Insert the CD and drag the audio file of the Lesson track or backing track to an empty region below the tracks in the timeline of the GarageBand window.
Plug in a set of head phones and put them on to listen to your backing track.
Plug in your guitar and select the guitar track.
Click on the measure where you want to start your recording and select the guitar track.
Press "record" and start to play.

Hi, in my case It did not use the balance first. I had balance but it used my credit card. Do I have to sign in Itunes first? Thanks.

Simple. GarageBand question, GarageBand forum where all those users are jacked into their Macs and can tell you how. Also look to the right of your post to the column, "More Like This."---------------------------------------------->

I am using garage band for the first time. I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures. I can't figure it out. Please help. I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful. It seems like an easy task. Can anyone help?

How to use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and acoustic guitar)

Hello!
I'd like to know if I could I use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and nylon acoustic guitar).
I have an M-Audio fast Track PRO (with 2 plug-ins) as well.
Is the M-Audio Fast track strictly for recording or could it be used for live too?
And for the speaker I though about splitting the audio output from the computer into 2 and one would connect to a loudspeaker going outwards and the other towards me as a monitor.
And the set I wanted to do included a DJ.
I have the Djay spin table and the software.
Would it be possible to run GarageBand for me with the voice and guitar plugged into the M-Audio and then into the Mac and equalize it (and either record it or just play through it). And, on another screen the Djay software and also connect the spin table into the Mac and run it together with me?
Thanks,
Fernando.

just playing through GB should be fine, but recording, especially with other software running, might fail. if having a record of the event isn't the most important thing, then go for it. otherwise, i'd suggest using an audio editor to capture the event as you play though GB:

How do i use Garage Band Instruments in Mainstage (2.1.3)

hi,
everywhere in the manuals it says that i can use Garage Band instruments in Mainstage.
But in my Patch Library i can only see:
01 Pre-Mapped
02 Software Instruments
03 Electric Guitar
04 Vocal
Audio Channel Strips
Instrument Channel Strips
In Logic it also shows "Garage Band Instruments", but i can't find that within Maintage..
Any Idea???
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi guys,
as an added task to the current importing of Garageband Instruments into MainStage; is it possible to import the Sound Effects sound that has been assigned samples from Garageband.
I'll explain what I would like to do.. I would like to use, in MainStage, the Sampled clips I made in Garageband that have been saved as an Instrument under Sound Effects.
Hope it makes sense.
At the moment I can import it and get it on the right instrument but its just making a basic noise.
Cheers if you can help.

Can I use garage band to edit my own original music from itunes? Or can I import my own music straight from a C.D. or Flashdrive?

Can I use Garage band (garage band '11) to edit my own original music that I have stored in my itunes library? Is it even possible to edit your own music with Garage band ? And how would you import your songs into it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Help please: I edited an 8 min song in Garage Band to 2 min but iMovie sees it still as 8 min????

I have a new MacBook Pro with Garage Band '11 and iMovie '11 that came with it.
I edited an 8 minute song into 2 minutes to use in iMovie BUT iMovie isn't reading the newer version of the song; it reads the original. I tried renaming the file, remixing the song, and still iMovie plays it as the original 8 minute song. In fact, four renamed versions of the song show up in iMovie under Garage Band and yet they are all the same.
Oh, I also made sure the little purple line was right at the end of my 2 minute sound track and not left where the original song was before I started cutting it. Still, the same problem.
What am I doing wrong? Any insights would be most helpful! It's been about two years since I've used Garage Band - and even then I only used it about ten times - so treat me like the rookie that I am, ok?
Thanking the Apple Support world-at-large in advance,
GG

Anyway, Leonie, you did give me one little jeweled piece of information that confirmed what I vaguely remembered from the last time I was putting together videos - once the file is in iMovie, any changes I make outside of iMovie need to be imported back in once again. That's why I instinctively kept renaming the files. Thank you for that.... each little piece of info helps, no?
That is on of the irritating aspects of iLife application integration - one would expect, that changes do sync, but they don't.
I'm using version 10.01 andyou two are using the previous generation.
Actually, I am using both versions. I assumed from your first post, that you would be using iMovie '11, version 9.0.9 and not the current version 10.0 - you wrote:
Garage Band '11 and iMovie '11
The version numbering is not the best effort on Apple's part.
But you are right - version 10.0 is not yet as robust as iMovie '11 has been. For serious work I am still mainly using iMovie '11; I am more or less only paying around with the new version 10.0 to explore it. Final Cut has not yet given me any trouble, but I only use it for effects that are not available in iMovie '11.

I recently upgraded my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Now when I create a song in Garage Band 2008, I cannot save the volume adjustment when I share back to iTunes, which is now version 11.1.1, and ultimately upload to YouTube. The volume reverts back to a default? low level. How can I retain the volume I assign in Garage Band, so that when the song moves to iTunes it doesn't revert?

HT3988 how to connect external keyboard to the garage band if its possible

how to connect external keyboard to the garage band if its possible,
is any body tried ? I have roland e66 keyboard and im trying to
connect with grage band but i dont know thats is possible??

You can definitely just connect a mouse and keyboard and then an external monitor and it will work. In the power options in the Windows control panel you will have a choice as to what happens when the lid is closed. Set it to "do nothing" and then you can shut the lid of the laptop and use only the external monitor.

How do I upgrade to the latest Garage Band if I have the 10.6.8 operating system?

I currently have the Mac OS X 10.6.8 operating system and the Garage Band I have is 4.1.2. The latest version of Garage Band appears to be 10.0.2, so I'm thinking I should upgrade to that. In looking at a You Tube video on how to use Garage Band, his screens didn't look like mine. Anyway, can anyone tell me whether I should upgrade to the latest operating system and, if so, how I go about doing that? Is that a simple download, click on it and it loads and that's all there is to it?

Thanks for replying. Is that Mavericks? Someone had said Mavericks wasn't such a good operating system. What do you think?
Mavericks is better than its predecessors Lion and Mt. Lion. It is faster and introduced better safety features, like the Gate Keeper. And it supports syncing devices using iCloud.
The upgrade to Mavericks is free, as well the purchase of GarageBand 10.0. The newest GarageBand is very different from the previous version GarageBand '11. Some features have been discontinued and other introduced. Don't uninstall GarageBand '11. You may want to use both versions concurrently. It is difficult to get Garageband '11 and all instruments and effects back, once you uninstalled it on Mavericks.
If you decide to upgrade, make a full TimeMachine backup before you do that, so you can restore your current system, if you discover that necessary apps are not working. Your current system is the last system that still supports Rosetta and PowerPC applications. You may have expensive software installed, that cannot be upgraded to Mavericks. So check, if all necessary apps, plug-ins, audio interfaces will work with Mavericks.
