Hw can I determine the pitch and tempo to be set for a song?

I want to know how to determine the pitch, tempo, scale for any song in Garage band.
My problem is this: I have ready with me a number of songs which I have composed, but I do not know what their musical attributes are...having received no training in music! Whenever I open a new project in GB, I have to set the pitch and tempo for the project beforehand itself...am asked to do so. This makes it impossible for me to try out the music at different pitches and tempo to determine what is required for any song.
I hope I am making myself understood and hope to get a solution...[and, no, Iam not minded to go and join music classes!]
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all this information. I can only vaguely understand what you have outlined.
I am sorry - it is difficult for me to explain, if I cannot assume that you have a musical training.
Is the first step you have asked...'using the tempo and key settings of another of my songs' a necessary one? Can I go ahead with the rest of the steps omitting the first?
You have to set some values for tempo and song key. Finding a song, that is similar to a new song you want to create, and were you have written sheet music with  the song key and tempo  would give you a good first guess for the values to pick. But go ahead and use the default settings of GarageBand.
Then you can add rhythm loops (drum loops from the loop browser) to generate an accompaniment conforming to the tempo you found.
That is what I tried to describe in the second half of my post: A click track is a track similar to a metronom. You sound out the beats of your song by clicking or clapping and record this as a "click track". Adjust the Master Track "Tempo" automation curve, so that you will have four of your or claps in each measure. This way GarageBands tempo setting will follow the tempo of your song.
Now you can drag loops from the loop browser to create an accompaniment. It will follow the tempo changes. I suggested the drums or other percussion instruments, because for these instruments the song key will not matter.
How to adjust the Master Track Tempo:   From the "Track" menu > Show Master Track; then set the Pop Up menu in the Track Head to "master Tempo".

  • Karaoke. I bought some karaoke midi from iTunes. I imported and am unsure how to raise or lower the pitch and tempo

    I have some karaoke files from itunes. I think there are a couple of ways to raise or lower the pitch and tempo. I can't seem to get it to work.

    To change the tempo, select the track head in the timeline and enable "Follow Tempo & Pitch" in the Audio Editor. Then you can change the tempo in the LED display, if it is set to "Project" view.
    To change the pitch, select the track, open the "Inspector", go to the "Edit" tab", click an empty brick and add an "AuPitch" filter. Raise or lower the pitch wheel (in cents, 100 cent equals one semitone step).

  • How can I determine the number and sizes of redologs?

    Dear all,
    How can I determine the number and sizes of redologs are sufficient to allow redo log switching while hot backup is in progress?
    Please advice,
    Amy

    Two questions here - what the OP put as the subject title and what was asked in the thread, which are different questions.
    I would interpret the question in the thread to mean "how to avoid hanging due to archiving waiting for a redo log group to become available." Alert log, wait events, and user complaints would be the source of information here.

  • How can I determine the number and resolution of the current displays/screens?

    I am developing a vision application that will require a specific window size, thus the application must run with the screen resolution at predified levels. It is also possible that the application will run on a system with multiple monitors, so I need to be able to determine the number of monitors, and the resolution of each.

  • Can we determine the CAPSLOCK is ON in a webdynpro for ABAP application?

    I have a pwd field in a Webdynpro for ABAP application.  If the CAPSLOCK is on  then I need to prompt user either via popup or a static text on the page that "CAPSLOCK is ON".  Is there way a to determine the caps lock is on when the user enables CAPSLOCK?  Thanks for help in advance
    Regards,
    Madan.

    Thank you for your response.  I am already prompting the user if the pwd is incorrect.  But user is expecting to receive a prompt if the CAPSLOCK is ON to avoid typing incorrect pwd.  If it is not possible to identify whenever the CAPSLOCK is turned ON, atleast is there a way to identify the CAPSLOCK is ON whenever user is navigated to this page/webdynpro application.

  • Can't use the same JVMPI min=max heap setting for JVMTI

    I have a DLL that serves as both PI and TI library. When using PI, I can specify -XmsNNNNm -XmxNNNNm but the same setting would not work when switching to TI. I must lower the heap setting by as much as 725M on a Windows box. On UNIX, I only need to lower it by 5-20M depending on machines. It does not matter when JVM 1.5 or 1.6 is used.
    I do specify a base address for the Windows library.
    Any help is appreciated.

    bspike, are you sure your DLL is actually getting loaded at the rebase address? The rebase address is just a hint; if the address space is occupied at DLL load time (maybe by another DLL), Windows will load your DLL somewhere else. I'm wondering if this could be happening in your case, and the DLL is getting loaded in a bad spot. I usually use vadump.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3fe0961b-ea72-40eb-a052-f68bac5a8ec1&displaylang=en to print, for a particular process, where the DLLs actually get loaded:

    Symbols loaded: 60170000 : 60197000 nspr4.dll
    ....etc.
    Even if it's not the specific problem I mentioned above, vadump might help diagnose the reason a large contiguous region isn't available.

  • Dragged WAV file in- pitch and tempo went down, ***?

    Dragged a WAV file, recorded on a handheld recorder, into Logic. The pitch and tempo went down! When I play the original with Quicktime it's no prob. How can I correct this?

    Set the song sample rate to match that of the audio files. You can see the sample rate in the audio bin window.

  • So Can I determine the business partners linked to user based on the assigned role and org. structure?

    Hello, I am working on a SAP CRM 7 Sales implementation and we are implementing leads and opportunity scenarios. The current business organization model is that there multiple vertical and horizontal departments. This is typical matrix structure. This organization has done the segregation of its clients based on the verticals so every clients belongs to at least one or more Vertical department but Horizontal departments can contact all the clients. In the same way sales executives are also either belonging to one or more Verticals or Horizontal departments? Horizontal sales executive can create leads for any clients available in the system but a Vertical sales executive can only create lead only for the client belongs to his vertical and assigned to him. This can be achieved by creating organization structure and business partner relationship.
    Now the problem statement is that few sales executives need work for both some Verticals and Horizontals at the same time. But requirement is that they should be able to do the both roles with single user id but multiple roles. So when sales executive is creating leads his vertical department, he should only be able to select clients assigned to his Vertical only but when he is creating lead for Horizontal department, he should be able to select any clients.
    So Can I determine the business partners linked to user based on the assigned role and org. structure?
    Please let me know if this is not clear also  note we are only using CRM WebUI no SAP ePortal.
    Thanks a lot your help in advance.

  • How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

    Howdy,
    I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
    System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
    Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
    I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
    Thanks for any help,
    Zebulon T

    Thanks, Ded,
    You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
    Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
    Thanks very much.

  • How can I change the pitch of a track?

    In Garageband 10.03, how can I change the pitch of a track?
    It seems that I somehow mistakenly changed the pitch of a guitar track I had recorded, so that al the notes in the track sound like they're about an octave too high.
    I don't know how I did that, and how to make the pitch slider appear so that I can try to lower the pitch.
    I saw three Youtube videos that show how to change a track's pitch by using the pitch slider, but none of them explain how to make the pitch slider appear.
    The pitch slider is supposed to appear in the lower, left corner of my window, but it doesn't appear in my window.  Instead the lower, left corner of my window says things like, Region, Notes, Time Quantize, Strength and Transpose.

    There's much to learn in Garageband!
    If you want a comprehensive introduction to the new GarageBand, have a look at Edgar Rothermich's book:
    Edgar's "GarageBand 10.0 How it Works"  explains it very well with many screenshots. You can buy it as iBook from the Book store, as PDF,  or as printed book from Amazon, Only, this version of the manual has been written for GarageBand 10.0.1, Some features have changed slightly since then.

  • How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

    Hello,
    I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
    Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
    1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
    2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
    3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
    .CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
    4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
    System Rights
    I tried the script detailed at:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx 
    Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
    strPath = objFolderItem.Path
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
    The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
    '0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
    I then tried the script at:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
    This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
    Const blnShowErrors = False
    ' Set up filesystem object for usage
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    ' Display desired folder sizes
    Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
    ' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder

    Next
    FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
    End Function

    End Sub
    The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
    Is this possible?
    Please help.

    Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances.  Take your pick.

  • How can I get the peak and valley of a MZI signal

    I am using MZI signal which is similar to sine wave with frequency of 10MHz to calibrate an interference signal. I want to get the peak and valley of the MZI signal and get the corresponding value of interference signal at the same location. The problem is that the MZI signal aquired by DAQ is not smooth, Please see attached filter.PNG, the top left is the MZI, top right is the MZI Zoomed in, you can see that there may be two values that are approximately same to each other. I used a peak detector to detect both the peak and valley and a build array to concatenate them. I am worried that the peak detector may find two peaks or two valleys in a fringe. So I used the filter function in express to bandpass the MZI signal (cutoff frequency is 8MHZ~12MHZ) to smooth the signal, the result zoomed in is  the bottom graph in filter.PNG. But I found that it did not solve the problem but cause phase shift. Is there somebody can give some help?
    Attachments:
    filter.PNG ‏143 KB
    peak detector.PNG ‏69 KB

    I don't know anything about MZI signals, but I do know sine waves.  If this is a sine wave, it is relatively easy to measure its amplitude as long as you know the frequency.  Since you say it is 10 MHz, you appear to know the frequency.  You can use Fourier analysis to determine the magnitude and phase of your signal, as long is it is a steady signal that doesn't change frequency or amplitude.
    Generate a sine and cosine wave using the same frequency.  Divide each wave by the sum of its points.  Multiply each one by your incoming signal and sum all the values, one sum for sine and one sum for cosine.  The sums should be the coefficients of the sine and cosine components of your unknown signal.  The ratio tells you the phase of the signal.  If you multiply the sine and cosine waves by their coefficients and add them together, you should be very close to your incoming signal.  The amplitude of your signal is equal to square root of A*A+B*B, where A and B are your coefficients.
    I may be off by a constant factor here somewhere (probably pi), since I didn't write down the equations and verify them.  These equations are the basis of the Fourier series, though, so they would be fairly easy to find.
    Another option would be resampling.  If you upsampled the data and increased the data resolution by a factor of 10 or so and filtered the results using an FIR filter, you would have a much cleaner signal with a lot more detail.  You wouldn't have any problem locating and measuring peaks and valleys.  This would probably work better with your data, since it looks like it doesn't have a constant magnitude.  To upsample the data, just add 9 zeroes between each data point.  Create a lowpass FIR filter that is based on 10 times the original sampling frequency and has an amplitude of 10.  The cutoff frequency should be half the original sampling rate.  Filter your new data and you should get the same waveform with 10 times the resolution.

  • How to determine the Country and Organization from IP

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the Country and Organization from a given IP. I have to write a JSP, which when given the IP address gives the country and the organization to which the IP belongs. The organization may be the ISP, or a MNC or any other corporate/government body, or it may be of an individual. I have to do it progamitically from inside a JSP?
    Any suggestions anybody
    Thanks in Advance for your reply

    even when tracking IP's, if it is static you can narrow it down pretty far - if it's dynamic, you can only narrow it down to a specific part of the country.
