How to import mp3 to Garage Band 3

i Tryied by draging it by impot option but its not working .

You should be able to drag it into the timeline - if it comes from an AIFF or WAV with the right sample rate. Otherwise you have to convert it to a 44.1 kHz/16 bit AIFF file in iTunes.

Why can't I import Mp3 into Garage band

I have recorded a very small piece of sound and i want to edit it in garageband why won't it allow me to . Mp3 is on the list of files , see pic below . Thanks , all this to demonstrate my computer is a noisy piies of kit , always 'rattling' ...

Try this as it works for me.
Take your project, drag the MP# to your desktop, create a new basic track and drag the mp3 to the new basic track.
I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this but this works.
Good luck

Can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4

On my Mac I can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4. I can create the ringtone but when I share it vanishes instead of going into the Tones like it used to do.

Is that, how far you get?
You select, "New Project" and select a "Podcast" project template? And then you get that error message? Or do you see the File Choser dialogue, but get the error message, when you try to save the project?
That can either mean, that the "Podcast" project template is not readable, or that you cannot write to the GarageBand folder in your home folder.
Check the System Library, if the Podcast template is properly installed:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects/
Look into the folder "Library", directly on your MacintoshHD, then "Application Support", "GarageBand", "Templates" for 08. Podcast.band.
If it is not there, then your GarageBand installation is incomplete and you need to reinstall it. If the file is there, check the permissions. Can you open the file 8. Podcast.band, if you copy it to your Desktop and double click it, to open it in GarageBand?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.
Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

How to import mp3 into Logic 7.2.1 ?

How to import mp3 files into Logic 7.2.1, without converting the file?
I have tried to make an mp3 with logic 7.2.1 and then improt it into logic again, and it still converts the **** file.
Help needed here.
I thought importing mp3 files in Logic 7.2.1. without converting, was one of the new features???????

Logic imports mp4's (ACC and Apple Lossless Files) directly, without the need to convert to AIFF.
But some Mp3's will still need to be converted. It's all in the manuals... page 29 of the "what's New In Logic 7" PDF, as well as here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro_7.2_lbnz.pdf
The file size remains the same though, so I'm not sure I understand what the issue is...

Can i isolate one instrument from an mp3 on garage band?

can i isolate one instrument from an mp3 on garage band? i want to be able to analyse the drumming from a few songs and wondered if it was possible on my imac

No, GarageBand cannot unmix an mp3. You need a program that can transcribe an audio file, like Melodyne. I think Logic can do that too, but I never tried Logic myself.
Unfortunately, these programs are rather more expensive than GarageBand.

How do i convert a garage band recording into a wav file?

I made a recording in Garage Band that I need upload to a particular website, but it only accepts wav files.
Supported WAV formats:
- Mono is preferable to stereo, but stereo is accepted.
- 8000Hz, 16-bit, PCM, mono is the recommended format.
- 44,100Hz, 16-bit, PCM is also supported
- mp3 files are NOT supported
Does anyone know how to do this? I went on You Tube which says to send to iTunes selecting WAV, but it does not seem to be working. Any suggestions?
Andrea

GB doesn't export .wav files. Sharet he file to disk as an uncompressed AIFF file, then use iTunes to convert it to .wav. (Go to iTunes' import settings and select .wav.)

Making an mp3 a garage band track

Is there a way to take an .mp3 song and import it as a track into garage band?
Thanks

Hi,
+Is there a way to take an .mp3 song and import it as a track into garage band?+
Yes. Just drag it to the Timeline. If it won't import, check to see if it's labeled MP3. If so, change it to mp3, and try again.

How do I de-install Garage Band?

I have recently installed iLife05, but I have no interest in using Garage Band. How do i de-install it, so that I can reclaim the space?

Hello again Stephen,
Once you have identified the files using spotlight, drag them to the trash using the mouse and delete them.
Its always a good idea to repair permissions after deleting / adding Applications.
Hard drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities.
Hope that helps some

Minidisc to MP3 via Garage Band ?

Hi,
I need to copy some minidiscs to mp3. Can I do this (via a mini-jack to mini-jack lead) from the minidsic player to my Mac, using Garage Band?
If not, please can anyone suggest the best way of doing this?
Thank you.
stu

Hi,
This morning I tried to record from a minidisc to Garage Band. At last I found some time to experiment. It worked, but kept stopping after less than two minutes, which is not very good since I have a 2-hour interview to transfer over. Please does anyone have any ideas?
Also, what’s a good compression setting for spoken voice / interview? There’s not much background noise, but the signal out of the headphone output on the minidisk recorder is a bit low. I can boost it ok using the compression gain. But don’t want to over-do it. Are there any meters anywhere??
Thank you!

Dragging mp3s into garage band

Before I was able to do this and I could cut and edit parts of songs out or loop parts if I wanted to transcribe them. Now garage band wont let me drag and drop songs into it. I thought maybe it was because I have'nt updated GB for a while ( I was using GB '08) I just recently upgraded to GB '11 and still cant do it. Any thoughts?
Thanks

A DRM protected AAC song is a song with Digital Rights Management - you can only play it on a handful of devices, and you can't import it into GB. You can identify it by pressing cmd-I in iTunes, it will tell you it's a purchased AAC song or so. You can buy DRM free songs in iTunes, they are more expensive than the protected ones.

How to contact Apple for Garage Band iPad bugs?

I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find a place to report Garage Band bugs or contact Apple support for Garage Band iPad. I wanted to notify Apple of the problem that bluetooth audio output in Garage Band does not work. (Yes I am aware of the latency, however, this would still appear to be a bug in Garage Band if a user has explicitly set audio output to bluetooth. Not all applications fo Garage Band require zero latency.)
