How do I select part of a song?

I am creating some voice overs using songs from iTunes as background, and am using the Podcast part of Garageband for that. When I drag the song into Garageband, I have the whole song showing as a track. If I only want to use part of it, how can I select that part I want to use? Once I do select it, what next? In my first attempts, I have used the cycling selection as one means of doing this, but it seems like there should be an easier way. Thanks.
Joe

Sorry, but I am brand new to Garageband, and am finding it very complex compared to other applications. When you say to drag the ends, I don't know where to find those. Do you mean in the track itself?
I am confused by what should be done in the track itself, versus the big section you get at the bottom when you double click on a track, versus the Podcast track, versus the bar at top if you use cycle or arrange.
Thanks for the link, I will read all of those, but I am really struggling with this app.
Thanks.

How do you select an amount of songs at one time

How do you select an amount of songs at one time because i need to change my Mp3 tags ( the bands name soo its all the same) =]Help?
Windows XP

in order for this to work all the songs you want to change have to be right next to eachother in a list, one after the other.
Select the first song you want to change. (it will be hilighted in blue)
Hold down the shift key
without letting up the shift key click the last song you wish to change. (any songs betwwen these to songs are now blue also)
right click the blue patch of screen and click "get info"
edit the feilds you wish to change, and click ok.

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

How do I put parts of multiple songs into one song?

I'm trying to make a mix of songs for my friends party and I was wondering how I could put parts of multiple songs together into one soundfile? If iTunes can't do this are their any other softwares that could do this? Thanks, appreciate it.

Prosper,
That is beyond the ability of iTunes, and requires the use of an audio editor.
A free one that many people like is Audacity.
After you do the editing in Audacity, you can export an MP3 and add it in to your iTunes library. The original files remain unchanged.

How do i delete part of a song, ie spoken intro

how do i delete part of a song already in my music library. ie the spoken intro to a song. i want the song but not the spoken intro part.

If you do Get Info for the song - then (in Options tab, I think) amend the Start Time of the track so it's the point where the music starts. iTunes will permanently 'remember' your change.

How can i select more than one song from drop down search bar

sometimes to make a playlist i will search my music library for a word & then add all the songs with that word in the title
the drop down search bar will not allow me to select more than one song
or
will it? & i just can't suss out how... maybe you know?
if so, please tell me~!!!
thank you

hey i tried that before i posted this question... i tried all of the normal ways one would use to select more than one item...
any click of any kind at all takes you out of the search drop down & into the main itunes window... where you are deposited back into the songs alphabetically... no longer are you seeing the results of the search...
sigh
at the risk of sounding like one of those people, the "old" itunes did not have this problem...
grrrr... it seems to be that pesky drop down menu~ if only you could see the search results in the main list as opposed to only in the drop down thing

How can I select only a few songs not all or none?

I would like to make playlist by selecting more than one song at a time?? I don't know how.

Have you tried the smart playlist function? You can set-up specific criteria, the number of songs you want in the playlist & have iTunes do the work for you. These are the only playlists I make anymore because I don't want to be dragging & dropping individual songs.

How do I select part of a clip to import in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

Greetings. I'm a newby in FCPX. I've been watching Michael Wohl's tutorial and it looks like I should be able to mark parts of clips stored on my HD to import into the event browser. But I don't seem to be able to mark the clips with either the "i o " keys or dragging. Only the full length clip can be selected. Is this feature diabled in 10.0.7 or am I missing something? I also don't seem to have the film strip/list icons at the bottom of the Media Import window. thanks!

How download only selected part of a podcast ?

Hi,
anyone can help me to find a tip to download only a pattern matching selected part of a podcast feed?
For example, think about to download only the feed contents where the title contains a specific word . Is it possible in iTunes ?
bye

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

How would you select part of a letter/font and change the colour of it ??

for example i want to selct the the letter 'b' and just want to change the colour of the ascender' ( the top half of the b) how could i do this on INDESIGN
like this

Here are a few tips to get started:
(1) When you create outlines, hold down the Option/Alt key when you choose Type > Create Outlines. That will make a copy of the outlines which isn't anchored in the text frame. Move that copy away from the original frame.
(2) Select all the word with the Direct Selection tool and choose Object > Path > Release Compound Path. That will separate the letters from each other so you can work with them (it also fills in the counters (centers) of the letters).
(3) To create the effect on the "T," I selected the letter with the Direct Selection tool (selecting all the anchor points) and chose File > Copy, then chose Edit > Paste in Place to make a copy on top.
(4) I moved the top copy a little (Shift + Up Arrow) so I could select the bottom copy, then I locked the bottom copy (Object > Lock). I moved the top copy back (Shift + Down Arrow).
(5) With the Direct Selection tool, I selected the lower anchor points and deleted them. I filled the top anchor points with blue. Here is how far I got:

How can I select part of a word?

This is really, really dumb. I'm in Illustrator CS5 on Mac OC X 10.7.3. I have a word.
PIPIIonline
I just want to select the "II" and make them Italics, like:
PIPIIonline
but Illustrator will not allow me - no matter what I try to select the two "II" characters. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Rick

You';re welcome!
It is a common error and as you see it even went by experience users at first because the feature though useful at times is not used that much and the keyboard shortcut is easy to accidentally invoke.
And I aghree until it happens to you it is something you would probably not know.
Glad that that was the problem.
BTW if you ever need to hide the edges on purpose keep in mind that the text or objects do actually get selected only you can't see it.

Newest iMovie - how to move selected parts of clips from events to trash

Hello,
I have used to import clips to events and than trimmed them down with the function "reject selection" and than when I used "Move rejected clips to trash" or something like that, iMovie removed the selections from the clips and generated new clips ones. It was fast and very nice feature.
Now, with the new version I can't seem to find this functionality? Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Uros

Got the same problem. The menu item has disappeared in this botched-up job of an iMovie upgrade. When I tried to select rejected clips/segments and move them to the trash I was told to wait until iMovie has finished running tasks and that I'm to check the activity indicator. Problem is, there're no running tasks and no activity indicator!
