How to import a music file into garage band ?

Hello everyone,
I am new to Garage Band, pardon me if my question is too basic.
I am trying to record a vocal. But friend has sent me a music recording (mixture of guitar & piano, without vocal) in mp3 format.
I want to put this mp3 file in another track below the track that I am recording the vocal.
How do I import in this mp3 file into Garage band ?
Thanks

drop the file into a blank area of the timeline
Thanks HangTime, a bit embarrassed here. How do I drop the file ?
U mean I open another window using FInder, select the file in Finder & then drop on the timeline ?
Thanks, really appreciate your help.
Cheers

  • Importing a Midi File into Garage Band 08

    HI,
    Bear with me as I apologize up front for my pathetic lack of understanding Garage Band (though I can actually read). I have an instrumental-only song in iTunes that I want to use as the background of vocals I want to lay down. (If I could play instruments, I would use those in the program, trust me.) I sing with a band and this would be SO helpful. I even have a Snowball USB microphone hooked up and ready.
    I tried dragging the song from my iTunes list and it looked like it was placed in the track, but when I played nothing seemed to happen. (All audio volumes checked in advance.)
    Although I may not be Mac-worthy for my ineptness, any help you send would be really appreciated.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • How to Import Vector Identified Files into Photoshop Without Losing Quality

    Hello,
    I am creating a series of music worksheets on photoshop. I have created some music scores in a music writing software called Sibelius 7. It has the capability to export the sheet music graphics in the following forms: .pdf, .eps, .bmp, .tiff, .png, .svg .
    However, I have tried to 'place' each of them into my photoshop file to see which one will work. But on saving the photoshop document as a .pdf with any of the graphics formats, the vector quality of the image has been lost, as it pixelates on zooming in. I have also tried to import an .svg file into adobe illustrator to save it as an .ai file and then import that into photoshop, but the image is again pixelated.
    I don't really know what is happening, as I am essentially trying to import a file that is a vector (or at least does not pixelate on zooming) into photoshop, hoping for the same qualities to be retained, but it is being lost for some reason.
    What should I do?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. I opened the vectored pdf into illustrator. I tested illustrator by saving that document as a new pdf and the vector quality was still retained. I the following images, I copied and pasted the vector from illustrator into photoshop. However, on saving this new photoshop document as a pdf, it does not retain the vector format, as you can see with the pixelation that occurs when zooming in on an object.
    Thank you.

  • How to import an .csv file into the database?

    and can we code the program in JSP to import the.csv file into the database.

    It is better to use Java class to read the CSV file and store the contents in the database.
    You can use JSP to upload the CSV file to the server if you want, but don't use it to perform database operations.
    JSPs are good for displaying information on the front-end, and for displaying HTML forms, there are other technologies more suitable for the middle layer, back end and the database layer.
    So break you application into
    1) Front end - JSPs to display input html forms and to display data retrieved from the database.
    2) Middle layer - Servlets and JavaBeans to interact with JSPs. The code that reads the CSV file to parse it's contents should be a Java Class in the middle layer. It makes use of Java File I/O
    3) Database layer - Connects to the database using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and then writes to the database with SQL insert statements.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Keeping the above concepts in mind, first build a simple JSP and get it to work,
    then research on Google , for Java File I/O , discover how to read a file,
    Then search on how to readh a CSV file using Java.
    After researching you should be able to read the CSV file line by line and store each line inside a Collection.
    Then research on Google, on how to write to the database using JDBC
    Write a simple program that inserts something to a dummy table in the database.
    Then, read the data stored in the Collection, and write insert statements for each records in the collection.

  • How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

    I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
    When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
    in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
    Please teach me the best way.

    If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
    Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
    The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.
