How to fade in/out single track volume?

I'm new to GarageBand, but shouldn't there be a slider or control for individual tracks?  The Help menu doesn't seem to give me info, nor does the Track menu.
I just want to be able to fade tracks in and out - it's called mixing, right?  The fade line at the bottom (in purple) controls all the tracks...but isn't there a fade in/out control for single tracks besides setting the level for that track section?
For instance, in the photo, below, the "Acoustic Guiter Rock Picking", highlighted,  is where I'd like to fade it in at the beginning and fade out at the end, while having the other tracks stay the same.  Advice appreciated, thanks.
I saw in another post that there's a track slider in GB '11, but as I have '08, there seems to be no triangle to click.  Any workarounds?  Can't imagine why this basic feature wasn't in earlier version, if so.

Looks like the answer was right under my nose.  I thought it only applied to later versions of GB, but the track option is in v. 4 (mine) too.
Here's the simple solution:

  • Fade in/out several tracks with the crossfade tool?

    Can I Fade in/out several tracks with the crossfade tool? I mean without selecting them and then add value...? just like in ProTools just selecting the regions and apply the fade tool???? VIP question

    No.
    To add crossfades or fade in/outs to multiple audio regions, you must do it from the fade parameter box, either entering numerically, or by clicking and dragging on the numeric value.

  • How to fade in/out volume in editor?

    We do a lot of multi camera work with kids.  We constantly need to turn off their mics (in post) when not in use because they are rubbing them, coughing, etc.  We turn it up when they talk and off when they're not talking.
    Like this:
    Sometimes it's a bit more complicated than this and I want to get a full scren version of just this one track.  So I thought double-clicking on it and bringing up the waveform editor (is that what it's called?) would be just the ticket.  It's very quick especially with hotkeys 0 and 9 to go back and forth.  But I can't se those handles or the volume line anywhere inside as you can see here:
    How can I do this in the waveform editor?  I know I can do it in the multitrack editor by making the view area of the track bigger by stretching it.  But that's a lot of work when you have 6 kids and each one has 200 up/down points per session. 
    I would like a quick "multi-track view to fullscreen of one track" with one single click or hotkey.
    Thanks for your help!

    Great, Steve.  Sounds good.  I don't like doing anything destructive since we work in a multi-person environment. I'm afraid that with so many people touching the projects, it's easy for a mistake to be made.
    I like your last idea a lot (razor cuts).  Maybe to pick your brain a bit, I would still like to fade these in/out a bit so we don't get the bad background noise (if a mic has it) popping in and out just before/after the person talks. 
    ... Oh, I just tried this.  Do you see any probs with doing something like this to fade in/out?  This would be very easy for us?
    Also, what would you recommend to keep the individual clips from shifting around accidentally?  I know you mentioned muting the other clips, which is a great idea.  But is there another way to do it with cutting out the non-used sections?  I really like that idea better, since you can visually see where a person's audio comes in/out at in Premiere (something that was a bugger there unless you have your waveform expanded very large--but if you do that, you run out of screen real estate for video editing).
    Since there are sometimes 6 mics to sync up to a video recording, if one clip gets bumped here or there, we're in trouble since now there's 20 little clips sitting on a track instead of one long one with up/down keyframes.  Before it would be easy--just slide the whole long clip over to 00:00;00 and you're good.  Now it could get messy.
    I know the mutted tracks would be a solution, but since you're an expert at this, is there a way I can keep things locked in place while having clip-blank-clip-blank tracks?
    Thanks again for your awesome help!

  • Can you fade in/out a track at the beginnig/end

    I've seen how to fade out the menu before the track starts. Is it possible to fade out a track (audio and video) There's a funny end to a programme that could be solved simply by dipping to black a little early.
    Thanks

    No, you have to do that in your video editing program (FCP), before you export it out to Compressor and then bring into DVD SP.

  • How can I export a single track in Soundbooth CS5?

    Greetings,
    I have built up a single track in Soundbooth composed of several repeated clips. I wish to export this single track.
    How can I do this in CS5 Soundbooth?
    Thanks,
    folsombob

    Sorry nobody has answered this. I haven't been in this forum in a couple of weeks.
    If you have all the tracks right where you want them, are you able to save the file as an mp3?
    Are you looking to export it for web use?
    For video tracking?
    I'm not sure why you'd want to export it as opposed to saving in one of the many available formats.

  • How to import CD as single track in iTunes 11.01?

    The abilty to import CDs as a single track in iTunes was great for Dj mix CDs and the like. But there no longer seems to be the option in iTunes 11.01? Or am I overlooking something? Any advice would be appreciated.

    No, you don't need to purchase iTunes Match to put CDs on your iPhone. You always have the option of syncing with iTunes using the cable that came with your iPhone.
    See this page for more information on importing CDs:

    There is a video tutorial and a number of links to related articles.
    Best of luck.

  • How to fade in/out multiple images before image faded

    Hi all,
    I plan to do multiple images fade in/out using UIImageView just like Flicker iphone app.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Load pic1.
    2. pic1 move from left to right.
    3. pic1 will slowly turn to become transparent while still moving.
    4. Same time pic2 is moving from right to left.
    I am managed to have the pic1 slowly fading out after it stop moving and pic2 move in at the same time. However what i want is to have the pic1 slowly fading out while it is still moving.
    Can anybody help me to look at my code below: Thanks.
    - (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    CGPoint newLeftCenter = CGPointMake(180, 240);
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"move1" context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:6.0f];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight];
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(movingStop:finished:context:)];
    pic1.center = newLeftCenter;
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    - (void)movingStop:(NSString*)animationID finished:(BOOL)finished context:(void *)context {
    if ( [animationID isEqualToString:@"move1"] ) {
    CGPoint newLeftCenter = CGPointMake(200, 260);
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:3.0];
    pic2.alpha = 1.0;
    pic2.center = newLeftCenter;
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:selector(movingStop:finished:context:)];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    }

    I'd need to write a test bed to get this right for you, but as a first approximation, I think you'll want to do something like this:
    - (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // assume pic1 is now visible at its left starting position at full alpha
    // and pic2 is at it's starting position to the right, either on or off screen
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"move1" context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:6.0f];
    // --> this isn't an animation curve; just use the default for now:
    // [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight];
    // --> leave this out for now:
    // [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
    // --> doesn't look like you need a stop method so leave these out for now:
    // [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    // [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(movingStop:finished:context:)];
    pic1.center = CGPointMake(180, 240);
    pic1.alpha = 0.0;
    pic2.center = CGPointMake(200, 260);
    // I don't think you said whether pic2 is fading in, but if so, add this line as well:
    pic2.alpha = 1.0;
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    Again, the above is only an outline, not working code. If you need more help I might have time to make it work this evening, ok?

    drop the song files into the GB timeline to create tracks for them. drag the bottom left or right corners to reduce what's played. you can fade in/out parts with volume curves (search for "curve" in GB's help)

  • How to speed up a mp3 track

    Howdy,
    Is it possible (and how) to speed up just single track in Garageband?
    I have a clip of mp3 as a track, but it is a bit too slow for the rest of the song, which are all midi tracks at the moment. I would like to change the tempo (squeeze) the mp3 clip, but  it seems that Garageband does not have the tools to do this. All advice welcome.
    Cheers,

  • How do I fade in/out a single track?

    I thought this would be pretty basic: to fade in and then fade out a single track, but I can't seem to find a way? Is this possible in Garageband? Or should I be looking at Logic Pro 9?

    Each track has a volume curve:

    Completely inappropriate, and they all also not help with volume adjustments. Fades will only apply to Audio Regions in the Tracks area: they will not fade out the complete mix unless you first Bounce it, add that to the Tracks area, apply the Fades with the Fade tool, then Bounce in Place (Again).
    Much much better to make use of Track automation to take care of Volume adjustments, and to Fade out the end of the song by applying Track Automation to the Output Channel
