How to undo shorten track length

I had a "custom" 24 bar track recorded and accidentally hit the new "bent arrow" button, which shortened the track back to 8 bars (I really wish I could set the track length to unlimited but whatever).
Garageband does not offer the "undo" command for this change when I shake the iPad. Anyone know how to revert and regain the lost track without restoring the entire iPad?
TIA

FIrst of all, what you see is the Audio Region not the Audio File.
The Audio Region is just a reference to an Audio File, the actual recording. An Audio Region cannot be resized (left or right border) beyond the boundaries of its referrenced Audio File. So per definition, there is no "unlimited" length, unless you talk about "looping"
The "bent arrow" is the Loop Handle. This only sets the boundary of the repetition and not the length of the Audio Region (which again is only referrenced to its Audio File). The Loop range can be set all the way to the end of the Section of you Project, or your Project if you use only one Section per Project
About "nondestructive editing". It works. Whatever action you do to the Audio Region (delete, trim, loop) can be undone with the Undo button.
Hope that helps

You mean music that the caller hears when they call you? You'll have to contact your carrier. That's a carrier feature, not a function of the phone.

How can I see track length in a playlist in music on iPad.

How can I see the track lengths in a playlist in music app on iPad the new version ios7, it was fine before. I use it for my work and need to see at a glance the length of all the tracks in a playlist so I can decide what track to play. Thanks

You can only add folders to the email account if it is an IMAP account. If you see an EDIT button at the top of the window when you are in the email account - where you can see your inbox, sent and trash folders - if there is an edit button at the top of that window - you can tap that and then an Add Mailbox option appears at the bottom of the window.
If you do not see that edit button, you do not have an IMAP account and you cannot add folders.

How to adjust maximum track length?

I'm working in GarageBand 3.0.5, and I'm using one track to record from an external microphone. I have no problem recording and getting the sound to play back, but it seems that I've run into a point where it is no longer possible to extend the track time. It has stopped at 1:06:08 and won't let me record any more, even after saving.
Does anyone know how to adjust the maximum length of a track?
I have tried going into GarageBand preferences, under the Audio MIDI tab and changing the buffer size from small to large, but that did not make any difference. I can not think of anything else to change. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

How can you change track length times in itunes?

I use itunes now for all music media, and have gone to the extraordinary pains of sorting and importing all of my music so that it is now all digitally stored...
The curious thing is that in itunes, it reports some track lengths as being way longer than they actually are. It doesn't affect the playback, it just looks wrong in the listing in the library - for example - the U2 album, 18 singles, has some ridiculously long track lengths - like track 2 - Beautiful Day, which itunes says is 19:22 minutes. It plays normally, and ends after about 4 mins as it should, but is there a way to manually edit track length times?
I've tried fiddling with the Get Info tab - "options" where you have the start and stop times, but this doesn't make any difference at all to the track lengths as listed in the main library. Any ideas?

Most likely you converted these songs to MP3 VBR (Variable Bit Rate) using a program that does not properly set the VBR tags.

How can I shorten the length of my main URL bar so it doesn't hide Snoopy snoring?

I have assigned an animated Firefox Persona of Snoopy snoring on top of his doghouse and Woodstock on his tummy, however my URL address bar is hiding most of Snoopy and Woodstock completely. Is there a way to shorten this bar so I can actually see Woodstock?

The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.<br />
You can change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars, but that won't change the space that both take.<br />
You can add Space elements at the right of the bar in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to make the location bar shorter.
You can set a specific width of those bars if you add code to userChrome,css
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.<br />

How do I shorten the length of the timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro?

This is my first time using Adobe Premiere Pro. I created a slideshow of images with music. The entire length with all of the images ends up being around 40 minutes. The length of the entire timeline is over 10 hours. I had finished my slideshow and exported it in a .mov format. The exported file ended up being a 10 hour long video with the first 40 minutes being the actual slideshow and the rest of it was blank. That file ended up being about 140 GB in size. All that I want to do is to cut off the rest of the time after the first 40 minutes. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Set In and Out Points or the Work Area Bar to the Head and Tail of your edit.
The when you Export..use either of those as a setting to tell the exporter what to export. There is a Menu for it in AME.

I am utilizing imovie 7.1 and I am trying to shorten the length of a clip. How do I do that?

There are several ways to do this.
First, drag the clip from your Event to an iMovie Project.
In the Project, there are several options:
1) Select the part of the clip you want to keep by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right click within the selection and select "Trim to Selection". (You can also do this from the Edit Menu.)
2) Select the part of the clip you want to cut by dragging with your mouse. When you have it, right-click within the selection and choose "Delete Selection". You can also do this from the Edit Menu.
There is a good Tutorial here. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#trimming

A gap between letters started to show in my indesgn files. tried to undo with tracking, the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?

a gap between letters started to show in my indesign files. tried to undo with tracking, then with the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?
for example: say i write a paragraph. then, in a weird some sort of way an involuntary gap suddenly appears between different letters of random words(i did not recognize any pattern to the gap appearing) throughout the entire paragraph. once i've double clicked on that paragraph, and made a minor change, lets say tapped a 'space' key, and then clicked ctrl+z to undo, it has aligned(or fixed) the entire paragraph and made it look ok again. i've tried numerous ways to undo the entire thing, but cannot find the reason. i've been working for a few years and there's no reason why this thing all of a sudden should happen right now.
if anyone has stumbled on something like that and can advise, i would welcome it.

yep...i'm typing with hebrew. i'll make a printscreen with the settings you've asked for@:
if you look closely you'll see that almost every line has a single letter apart. in hebrew there is no usually a singe letter structured words.

How to I adjust the length of a track?

New to Garage Band. Took a one to one session and I can't stop playing with the program. I created a song through the Magic Garage Band feature which I am trying to match up to a video. My video is about 4 minutes but the track I created is about 1:30. How do I set the length of the track?

If the audio Regions of the Project only go as far as 1:30 you can extend each Region by looping them. This repeats the audio. Hold the cursor at the upper right corner of the Region until it changes to a loop, then drag out as far as you like.

How do I adjust [shorten] music length to fit slideshow?

Making a memorial slideshow, hoping to use several songs but need to shorten their length. Any suggestions? iPhoto support directs me to a page that does not include the info.
Thanks in advance.

I use music in all of my slideshows and always adjust it to my slides either by timing the individual slides or by using the third party application Amadeus to adjust the music, cutting out parts or pauses that I don't need or want. It can also slow down or speed up music without changing the pitch but I normally just edit the music itself to fit the projected length of the shows. That way I can match certain slides to particular phrases of the music and the effect is great that way. I've used Amadeus for years and find that I can't do without it, especially in my more intricate shows. I believe I paid about 40 dollars back when I got it but don't know the price now. Incidentally I use the Amadeus Pro version. Here's the developer's site:

How to match sound track to movie pictures? (the sound track is shorter)

I have a sound (narrative) track of approx 1 hr which talks about the movie film. However the film I have, is a slightly different version, that is about 10 min longer then the sound track and I would like to restore the match, e.g. by something like cutting the sound track and inserting blanks, or cutting and moving the sound a couple of seconds. Note I'm totally new to Premiere V 10. I presume I would have to use start and end marks in the sound track and place the subsequent sound parts on a new sound (or narrative?) track (but it seems I will need to introduce additional silent parts, I cannot just move (drag?) the next sound track a couple of seconds to the left.
I would guess there are a couple of easy tricks to achieve my goal.
Thank you in advice.
Rob Tausk

Well well: not easy nor trivial at all, but I haven’t given up as yet! I’ll describe my workflow below.
1.       Play video fragment, and comparing film picture and sound estimate position where I need to introduce a silent period and it length.
2.       By double click play sound “comment track” on the monitor and set end stop (I would actually prefer if the sound track could be zoomed to more easily/accurately find best position)
3.       Play mute sound clip in preview and set time length with end stop and close preview
4.       Move mute clip to comment track, which has been shortened in step 2
5.       Play main sound clip in Preview and set start point
6.       Move this sound clip to comment track.
But sometime things go slightly wrong, e.g. when moving mute or sound fragment to “comment track” I find that the video track cuts (not intended)
Another difficulty I still need to master is related to the phenomena you mentioned before, related to moving sound clips, parts which were before the starting point show up (e.g. drag edges).
I hope you can roughly follow my explanatory story (I realise writing such workflow is difficult and critically depends on the same use of words concepts definitions and jargon (note my Adobe Premiere Elements is in Dutch).
I’d much appreciate your comments (maybe another software would be friendly to the inexperienced senior citizen)

How can i change the length of a narration ?

how can i change the length of a narration ?

hotts77
Thanks for the reply.
Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
blog post just about says it all.
You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
Thank you.

How do I change the length of an audio file?

How do I change the length of an audio file without changing the actual recording?
I want to aligne start and end points to the rest of my project.

Well, yes and no. I have tried the Bounce track in place function, but it did not do what I was after. However, today I got an idea that solved the problem. I copied the region I had punched in several times. Then I used the Bounce track in place function. This made a track that was just as long as all the other tracks. Finally I silenced the audio "clips" that I had used to make the region longer. I have now 24 tracks to transfer to the Alesis HD 24 that starts, and ends, at the exact same point. This will suit the Alesis software just fine, I think.
Thanks for the tips.
