I lose volume/quality when I export form garageband to itunes

I lose volume/quality when I export form garageband to itunes

It's been several months since I used Mac OSX Garageband but I used it a lot, I liked it very much *but* I too had this problem with losing volume/quality and it drove me to despair. A lot of my focus was devoted to trying to minimise loss of volume at every step. You'd think the magic of digital made this issue a thing of the past.
More recently I've been using iPad and so far, mainly because of the 'Merge' (bounce) facility this doesn't seem to be such a problem... Yet.
I believe however, you ought to have a look under preferences (I think there is preferences specific to GB and system preferences under Apple logo, you probably know that) there is an option that says something like Maximum Volume for exporting or something. This may seem counter intuitive but try unticking the box, if you haven't already. This should give you the option of increasing the volume but it may clip. That supposed max vol thing really means max vol without clipping... Sorry, this is long winded. Best of luck!

  • Lose picture quality when I export from aperture

    I have a trial version of Aperture that i have been playing with to see if I want to buy it. I imported photos from iphoto and cropped them in Aperture. They looked great. When I exported them (specifing size) the color was dulled and they were slightly blurry. This did not happen when I exported the Master. Any thoughts?

    what is the color profile in aperture vs. the color profile on export vs. the color profile in the app your using after the export? the workflow should be well managed color profile working and exporting the photos.

    exporting a Master and exporting a Version will give different results

  • How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

    Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
    iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
    So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

  • Having difficulty with quality when I export to iTunes

    My faithful GB geniuses:
    I've been using GB for quite some time now and have not had much trouble when it comes to sound quality. I know that when you export to iTunes, it mixes down your song to a file with the resolution of 44.1 kHz at 16 bits (I may even be confused here -- no matter, these numbers mean little to me since I do not fully understand sample rates, etc).
    Anyway, I have this song that has eleven MIDI/Software Instrument tracks and six Real Instrument tracks (5 guitars, one bass). It sounds great when I playback the GB file, during editing. Then, when I Export it to iTunes, there is one guitar (a lead guitar with Amp Simulator, Distortion, and Echo effects added) that comes out sounding like utter crap. When it comes in, the entire file sounds crackly and awful. The guitar drops in volume, and also quality.
    Up until the distorted guitar track comes in, the song sounds fine. So it's not the other 5 guitars that's doing it. Does my problem have to do with the fact that the lead guitar has too many effects on it for GB to handle? But no, this can't be right because when I play the GB file, it sounds studio-quality. When I export to iTunes, it sounds like somebody is slowly murdering a cat.
    Also, I went into iTunes prefs and changed the "Importing" settings to "Highest Quality", and it did not make it any better. If this problem can be remedied through some simple changes in iTunes Importing prefs, can somebody briefly explain to me how to do so?
    Thank god I have you guys. Help me out! On a side note, what's with all these people complaining about how hard GB is to use? With the exception of my case, in which I think I'm trying to push the bounds of what GB can accomplish, GB is ridiculously easy to navigate.
    On another side note, check out my songs that HAVE come out successfully, quality-wise!: www.soundclick.com/dijitel.
    Thanks in advance for your help, guys.

    Thanks for the input, AppleGuy.
    It seems my initial problem was that I had the EQ on some setting on iTunes by accident, and that was affecting how some GB songs sounded once they were exported. Then I tried locking the tracks (all of them actually), and doing it again, and that didn't seem to make much of a difference since I had already solved the problem.
    But that's an interesting point -- what sort of effect does locking the tracks have on how they sound once they're exported to iTunes? Should I lock all of the tracks now before I export?
    Any other basic tips on getting the absolute best quality possible out of a song that has a lot of real instrument tracks is welcomed. Thanks again for your help.

  • Why poor quality when I export in HD?

    I've shot some video on a Panaonic HDC-HS9, imported in original quality, edited it up, and want to export it in HD quality, for later use on DVD and YouTube HD.
    When I export it using the standard setting HD 1080x720 (in the export movie... option), the quality is pretty poor, nowhere near HD standard, although the original footage is crystal clear.
    Am I importing wrongly? Exporting wrongly?
    The exported files are about 100MB per minute, so should look very sharp on my MacBook screen, rather than fuzzy.

    I'm kind of a novice at this stuff, but if you select "Export using QuickTime..." instead of "Export Movie...", you have a lot more options to choose from. In particular, you can choose a 1920 x1080 resolution, which should improve the quality of your movie (but it will take about 4x longer to export and the file will be about 3x bigger). There are a lot of other choices as well... wish I knew what they all meant!

  • I get poor picture quality when I export my slides from keynote as jpeg and print them as a photo, any help?

    I made a slide of multiple pics and objects, I am trying to export it to an 8x10 photo, the shop I am using only allows jpeg.  The quality is so poor when I print it, is there a way to get better quality as I export it?  I used keynote because I could set up a custom slide size (8x10) and then added the pics and other graphics in hope I could export as a jpeg and get a good quality photo?  The photo images and slides are good quality it is the exporting where I am loosing clarity.
    Ugh any help?

  • Loosing quality when import-export file

    I am just wondering, if I loose some quality when I - lets say- an Apple Pro Res 422 HQ 1080p video clip, I import to FCP, do some modifications, export to Pro Res 422 HQ again, import it to Photoshop, do some more modifications> export to the same, but find, I need to work in FCP again, import it, do some modification and export it again to Pro Res 422 HQ. Would there be a visible quality loss?
    Dorian

    Try this.
    Make a copy of a clip.
    Take the copy and edit/color/alter the images using all the operations you would normally.
    Then, look at the original clip vs the altered clip on external monitoring devices (including scopes) to decide if you have an issue.
    Good luck.

  • Why do I get horrible Quality when I export!?!

    I recently exported a movie (filmed with my Sony Hdr Fx7) from FCP5 and its very pixelated, especially when theres camera movement. Also at certain parts in the movie the audio does not match the video at all. I exported in all default settings. Whats my problem? HELP

    Yeah guys its in quicktime and Kevin Brock, I already had those settings for quicktime like that, the quality is still ****. I took some snaps shots with apple shift 4 but I'm not sure theres any way I could show you guys them on the forum. Right now I'm just trying to get the quality figured out then I'll worry about the audio. Any suggestions?! I definitely think its something in final cut not quicktime

  • Unable to find par file in the list in EP 7.0 when i export form NWDS

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me regarding that.
    i upload one par file through NWDS by using export.after that when i going to create one iview from par.in the PAR list my par file is not display.
    but the par file is avilable is the PCD.
    can any one suggest me regarding this issue.
    thanks & regards

    Hi,
    go to System Administration -->Support --> Browse Deployment and browse to the directory ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
    locate the corresponding par file and Download it to your local system. If you observe the file extension, it is "bak", because SAP Portal renames the archives after it deployes the par so that it will not deploy it again. Remove the file extension .bak and rename according to the naming standards of your organization. I would recommend you to use the same naming of the file, remove "sap" and use your own company name, like com.mycompany.portal.navigation.masthead.par.
    After this, you can import this par file in NWDS (Netweaver Developer Studio) by selecting File --> Import.
    A word of caution, the importing does not import the jar files in the private/lib folder of the project structure. So, copy them manually to the new project you have created.
    When you see the project structure, you can find the related file in dist --> PORTAL-INF -->jsp -->
    You can change this file according to your needs and deploy it back to the portal.
    create the ivew from par
    hope it works for you

  • How do you make the volume louder when you export music from garageband?

    Hey everytime I export my music from garageband the volume seems to die down.. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

    There's two things that are being called "volume": one is the output level of your audio file. Go to GB's preferences and see if the auto-normalize function is checked - if yes, it will automatically adjust the master volume so the maximum level of your output file is 0 dB. If you uncheck it, you can crank up your volume more, but your audio might clip in some places.
    The other thing is loudness – audio files with the same peak level have a very different perceivable loudness. That is a question of mastering, i.e. applying compressors and limiters to make the sound more "dense". But that's a whole different story.

  • When it export a song to itunes, it sounds like its being played under water

    songs seem to export okay. it creates a mix. but when i play back the itunes track, it sounds like it is under water.
    i've done it properly before, somehow...
    thanks.

    Maybe you should define "fuzzy". If it's the same as "distorted", you should check if either the single track meters or the general volume meter in GB show clipping. Generally GB is more tolerant and you only hear it on the mixdown.

  • Warping of audio quality when recording Synths in GarageBand

    I have currently got back into using GarageBand and have noticed a strange error when recording a software synth sound.
    When simply playing back the sound through my midi keyboard the sound is fine, but as soon as I hit record and start playing the sound is broken up, and when I stop recording it returns to normal again.
    The sound is an ethereal type pad. It almost seems as if Garageband cant handle the sound complexity and is breaking it down but it seems unlikely giving the fact that the platform supports vst's like Absynth which feature plenty of such sounds.
    Has anyone else encountered the same problem, and if so, is there a way to correct it?

    Your actually using an AU not a VST inside GB. I also use Albino 3. What preset are you using. After you tweaked the Albino preset to your liking check albino signal level output to make sure your new tweaked preset is not overdriving its output. Back off on the master output of Albino if this is the case.
    Also check the audio meters on the track you have assigned Albino to in GB. Make sure those levels are ok.
    It could also be that you have tweaked a parameter in Albino to the extent that it is beyond the synths parameters to export that sound to GB without distortion, something which may not become apparent until you record it.

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Best Possible Quality When Exporting?

    Hi, I'm using Keynote '09 to make several graphics for a Final Cut Project. If the Final Cut project is set at 1280x720 at 29.97fps, what settings/compression type would render the HIGHEST QUALITY when I export out of Keynote?

    There are two answers to this, you can export a file that has the highest technical image quality, or you can export something that your existing Final Cut project can use.
    To use a clip in Final cut, the QuickTime  settings  must match exactly the sequence settings in Final Cut.
    Therefore you must export from Keynote using the same CODEC and settings that the Final Cut sequence has.
    If the quality from the export is not good enough, you will have to change the sequence settings in Final Cut and convert all the other clip settings to match, this procedure is generally not feasible.

  • Why do my pics/footage look sharp in my iMovie window but when i export the quality of both turn to garbage? Help!!!

    The nightmare that is my iMovie. I just proposed to my girlfriend last month and im trying to make a 7 minute movie about it in iMovie.
    I shot my pics and video clips on my iPhone 4s. Unfortunately i forgot to turn HD on. Oh well, the footage looks great anyways. So i imported into iMovie and made my project.
    In the iMovie window, the footage looks AMAZING and sharp. But when i export, i lose ALL QUALITY. It's unbearable. First i exported using quicktime and saved it to my desktop because i was having difficulty publishing directly to Youtube. When i watch my qucktime proposal clip, the quality is garbage.
    Then i decided to buy the latest iMovie in hopes of it being something an update would resolve. Nope. However, now i was able to publish directly to Youtube. I did this and.....no improvement.
    So then i got to thinking that maybe my project had a bug in it. So i slapped together a 40 second test movie. I used 3 of the same pictures and 1 video clip. Again, in the iMovie window it looks INCREDIBLE, but once it's exported it turns to rubbish.
    It should be noted that when choosing my file size, the last 2 options which are HD were shaded off. I chose "Large" 720x540.
    I did another test whereby I published my short 40 second test to Youtube but it allowed me to select the HD sizes. I did this. Result: still garbage resolution.
    Im at my witts end. Are there any iMovie ninjas out there that know where im going wrong?
    (someone suggested optimizing the video in iMovie. I tried and it tells me that my content cannot be optimized. So that's that.
    Im depserate!

    Please go to my website where I have posted new instructions on working with DV.
    This keeps both interlaced fields from FireWire capture through to a DVD. All the lines means no lost quality when editing DV or Digital8.
    It also solves the washed-out color problem.
