How to break up tracks that imported as one big track

I downloaded an album and it is one 50 minute track. Is there a way that I can break it up into separate tracks thru itunes or am I screwed??? Thanks.

I record from vinyl and use Sound Studio, an excellent commercial audio program for the Mac to edit the resulting long track. However if you want to try out a free open source audio editor you could try this: Audacity

  • How to reset the feature that allows audio and video tracks to snap to other tracks on timeline

    I have somehow disabled the feature that allows you to drag and snap video and audio tracks on the timeline to other tracks or positions of import.  It is only one project that has been affected, and all I can think of is that while performing some other keyboard shortcut, I accidentally perfromed a shortcut that diabled this feature. 

    You mean, "Snap?" Press 'S' on the keyboard, or press the magnet button in the Timeline panel.

  • How to break down single file imported from quicktime into clips?

    Can anyone help? I am trying to import video footage from a sony handycam, and have managed to import using USB via DvDxDV and then quicktime. However, it imports the movie as one big clip, is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down? Thanks

    is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down?
    You have to do that manually by Command-T or by "Split Clip at Playhead" -menu command.

  • Adding commentary tracks / alt audio to one video track

    Hello-
    I have tried to follow along in the books and it does not get too far. Fairly comfortable with scripting.
    I have a short video track with a default audio (same name) with 2 additional audio tracks that I want the viewer to be able to select via a sub menu I have created. I know how to drag them intot he track editor in DVDSP but, from there, I'm lost.
    Can someone please help.
    Thanks,
    Tom J

    hey tom
    this can be done with or without scripts.
    you say that you have a menu alreay with the different audio options, correct?
    if you do, you would lay all your audio tracks onto its appropriate stream (A1, A2, A3).
    then you go to your menu and set up the menu like you would any (create the menu name, drag a selector box to correspond to the highlighted button, etc.)
    one this is accomplished, click on the button associated with audio track 1 (A1) and look at your inspector. click on the advance tab and you will see options for setting the streams angles, audio (this is the one you want) and subtitle. click on the dropdown box, and select A1.
    then click on the on the menu button associated with A2 and look at your inspector again under the advance tab and you will see it reset itself, now again click on the doprdown menu and now associate that stream with A2.
    do the same for the A3.
    once you are done, verify the setting with clicking on the first menu button associated with A1 and you will see under the inspectors advance button that Audio stream 1 will be saved. your golden form there!
    scripting the bad boy is a little more involved. there is an an article out there that goes through it with great detail.. do a forum search for "scripting audio stream" and you will find it.
    goodluck

  • Breaking down one big track into individual clips...

    Hi.
    I recorded a live performance of a band I was filming for via Audacity and now I have a pretty good quality live recording I would like to use to match with my video footage. The problem is that it is just one huge mp3.
    I got it into Garageband and trimmed it up and broke it down into the individual songs that I want, but now I can't for the life of me figure out to export each individual track. It keeps putting them all together as one song.
    Please help. This is literally the first time I've ever used Garageband, but I am getting used to it I think

    OK. Thanks for the link. That site looks extremely helpful.
    Now I just turned on the cycle region button selected the portion I wanted to export, then went share>export song to disc. I set it to mp3. It said it was creating mixdown and then normalizing and looked like it was processing. I went to look in the folder where I set it to save to and nothing is there. I just did a spotlight search for the title and nothing...
    What did I do wrong?

  • In the music library how can I split albums that have grown too big?

    I have an album of 70 podcasts and there is not enough space on the page to display all the info of the title of the podcast particularly the date. I want to divide these titles among 4 or 5 subalbums to allow more space for display

    The solutions is either of the following:
    Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
    I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

  • Making multiple tracks from one big track

    I've got a CD that has 7 songs on it, but only shows as 1 long track (54:06) when I try to import it. I'd like to edit it so it imports/plays as 7 songs and not 1. I've figured out how to mark/edit the first song, but that's all. How can I reimport the original song so that I can do the other 6 tracks? I've looked at a lot similiar postings, but there were no answers. Apparently this is a problem a lot of people are having. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

    As i mentioned earlier, by selecting to convert the original song it is just making a copy of the song, and you do not have to have the CD to do so. Just select the song you want to duplicate and then select convert to...(whatever file format you want).
    Hope this helps

  • IMovie 08 to 09 import problem - one big clip

    I had a lot of projects in iMovie 08 and they have appeared ok in 09 but all seem to have been imported as just as one large clip instead individual clips. This means that re-editing is very difficult and defeats the object of importing iMovie 08 projects rather than completed videos. Does anyone know of a way to break the project back down into its original clips?

    YOu are in "Project Library" view. If you pick a project and click on "Edit Project", you will see the individual clips you are used to.
    The "Project Library" view is basically eye-candy so you can quickly find your projects.

  • I have an old Frank Sinatra CD called duets which I have imported but it has separated into several different albums one per track?How can I merge into the one album?s

    Can somebody advise how to remerge what has been imported as several different tracks into the original Album format?

    If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

  • How to access address book that is not on startup drive

    I have an external hard drive that is from an old computer of mine. How do I access the address book on that drive without making it my startup drive first?
    Thanks.

    easy on all caps there
    you can do the following to combine address books. start Address book, select all the contacts currently in your address book and drag them to the desktop. that will create one big vcard with those contacts. then quit address book and replace the folder that I told you about with the one from the backup drive. start address book. it will look like it did on the backup drive. drop the vcard you have on the desktop onto the address book. the addresses will be imported.
    warning: this procedure will migrate all addresses but will destroy any groups and smart groups you currently have in AB.

  • Track Grouping and accurate control of track/group volumes

    Hi,
    Newbie to Garageband so bear with me...
    Firstly, is there a way of grouping tracks together and apply effects to the group as a whole (independantly of whatever effects are applied to the tracks within that group)? and...
    Secondly, is there a way of having precise control over the volume of a given track/group of tracks?
    What I am trying to do is create a dance track in which there a section which you would imagine playing with a strobe light going off, ie the volume is max followed by min straight away, max,min,max,min etc., with the min parts cutting sound completely.
    Thing is, all I can see in Garageband is the ability to add points to a line (creating a sawtooth look). What's more, it seems that if, using this sawtooth, a note plays when at sawtooth is at max then it doesn't cut the volume when the sawtooth is then at min.
    Any suggestions?

    Not that I know of. However, there is a Master Track that applies effects to all tracks (i.e. all tracks grouped together on the stereo mix), but no ability to create groups of only some tracks and apply effects to them. So as far as I know, in GB, it's either 1 track or all tracks.

    You can mimic a square wave by adding dots and dragging a dot until it is almost directly under the other dot, and then having a dot to the right of it (still at the bottom) and adding a dot almost right above it, and then another dot to the right of it at the same volume... basically draw a square wave using dots, so the audio flashes on and off. And if you do this on the Master Track, it will apply to all tracks.
    However, to make it work well, you'd want to zoom in all the way to be able to get the dots as close to vertical as possible. You do this by sliding the zoom slider on the lower left all the way to the right. If your automation track is open, you can see that little differences become big differences. Zoomed in all the way, you can make adjustments that will snap to the next one so fast, it should sound like a square wave. You can see where the threshold is... if you slide a dot directly over another one, it eats it up, but slightly to the side, it coexists. It won't be a perfect square wave, but it should be close enough to sound like one.

  • How to style text with XML import using character style that is in a group (aid:cstyle = "group1"."style1") ?

    Hello, I am using an XML file to import text into InDesign page items. Everything works well using the attribute "aid:cstyle = style1" but since the introduction of InDesign groups, our users want to use them but we do not know how to reference them in the xml attribute.
    I saw somewhere on the internet that you should use "aid:cstyle = group1:style1" or "aid:cstyle = group1|style1" but both won't work. They simply create a new ungrouped style name "group1:style1" or "group1|style1"
    So what is the right formula ?
    Thanks

    Tagged Text is nice but all the copy in your page item is one big block, no way to separate and track individual values, say in your page item you have a description and a sale price, you can't update the price without reimporting the description as well. We use many fields inside an individual page item and just as one example we need to be able to update all prices on the page without modifying anything else that shares the page items with the prices. Also XML updates you can trigger an update for the whole document in one operation, while with Tagged Text you have to "place" your text file for each individual page item you are modifying (even with scripting you call the place function as many times as you have page items). So say you have a page or document with 200 boxes across multiple layers that is a lot of individual actions.
    Anyway back to my problem.
    I've never used Mapping tas to styles before, but running some tests here I clearly don't understand it. If my text is already tagged and I map a style to a tag, it untags all my individual text elements and leaves only the page item tag, and doesn't style my text... I'm going to try and read more on this.
