Imported a WAV Middle C Keyboard sound into timeline of Garageband. Can I play it on my midi keyboard?

Hey there
I have a wav of a middle C keyboard sound that I downloaded that would like to be able to playback through my Midi keyboard and record into Garageband.
Is this possible using Garageband?
I have tried importing the sound into the timeline of Gargeband, but then cant see any option to be able to play it through my midi keyboard.
Can I put that wav into the sounds on the right hand side?
Any suggestions? - If you understand what I'm on about here
thanks

Are you trying to open an audio file in GarageBand or a GarageBand project?
To open an audio file drag it from your NAS to a real-instrument track in GarageBand.
If you are trying to open a GarageBand project - can you open the same project, if you copy it to your system drive?

Installation folder not found. Kontaktplayer2 will terminate? I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband.

Kontaktplayer2 will terminate? I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband what gives? I downloaded all my midi plugin's to run my M-Audio midi controller, but the patches are gone from GarageBand. I recently had all my files "Migrated" from my old Macbook to my new one and since I have my new Macbook (only a week old) I haven't been able to use the GarageBand patches. Can anyone give me advice?

If you did a Restore operation using the current version of iPod Updater and you still get the same results, then you should take it back and get a new one.

No sound coming from my iMac, can't play music in iTunes and can't watch videos.

Im going to explain everthing from the beginning so people bear with me. Last night i turned on my computer to watch some old footage i have.It wouldnt play,then when i tried to open the file this message poped up ( documents could not open unknown error -101). Then i went to play some audio tracks i create, they also wouldnt play for some reason. When i tried to open that file the same message popped up.So then i went into itunes to play the same track it still no sound. Not only was there no sound in itunes, but it wouldnt play at all. So im thinking maybe i need some updates, so i checked for that. I had two up dates, i installed them.Then i restarted my computer everything was working fine now. Now this mourning i turned on my computer again, the samething is happening all over again. I went into system preference to check my sounds everything seems to be in order, except the mute box is checked and it wont let me uncheck it. Also when i hit the sound key on the keyboard, the sound is all the way up but there is a circle with a line going threw the middle of it.I cant adjust the sound at all. I also tried to go into disk utility to see if i needed some kind of repairs that didnt work. I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advice to correct my problem, i am in desperate need. Thankyou in advance.

Hi,
I just updated to version 7, and many of the songs I downloaded previously now have an exclamation point next to the checkbox. What does this mean? When I click on one of the songs to play it, it states the song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it? When I type in the name of the song, I don't get anything. Can you please help?

Can't log into Game Center and can't play certain games any more

So I was trying to log into Game Center, and the system gives me this:
To make things worst, now whenever I try to play Battle Supremacy, the app just keeps trying to switch to Game Center, which is already a dead end, and this is getting SOOOOOOO annoying. Help, please?

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.gamecenter.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

"Input contract violation" error message when trying to import a .wav file into AE?

I am trying to import a .wav file into AE and keep getting an "input contract violation" message from the program followed by it shutting down. If it means anything, I bought the song online, but it has been paid for and I downloaded the .wav file after my purchase. Any idea of why this may be happening? Are there any particular settings which may be mandatory on the project timeline to import a 3min song? Thank you!

YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera. It saves files with an .m2ts extension. This extension is not supported by CS3. Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2. When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio. How do I import the audio? Thanks.
David

I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked. I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3". There are several other files there with similar names. If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

Subject: Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3
Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
Any help would be much appreciated!

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!
G

I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,
G

How to preload sound into memory to improve performance?

Hello all
I have an application where it needs to play 4 different short wave files on some events. The wave files are small (less then 1 sec each) so they can be preloaded into memory. But I don't really know how to do that.. This is my current code... Performance is really important here, so the faster users can hear the sounds, the better...
import java.io.*;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class PlaySound implements ActionListener
     private Clip clip = null;
     public void play(String name)
          if (clip != null)
               clip.stop();
               clip = null;
          loadClip(name);
          clip.start();
     private void loadClip(String fnm)
          try
               AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File(fnm + ".wav"));
               AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
               DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);
               if (!AudioSystem.isLineSupported(info))
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unsupported sound line", "Warning!", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
               else
                    clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                    clip.open(stream);
                    stream.close();
          catch (Exception e)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "loadClip E: " + e.toString(), "Warning!", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          play("a wav file name");
}     I would appreciate it if someone can point out how I can preload them to improve performance... Thanks in advance!

The message above should be:
OMG, me dumb you smart Florian...
Thank you for your suggestion... It's not the best OR anything close to what I thought it would be, it's certainly one way to do it and better then what I've got now...
Thanks again Florian, I really appreciate it!!
BTW, is there anything that would produce the sound faster then this?

How to import a .wav file for adding to a clip in imovie 09

I want to know how can we import a .wav file in Imovie 09.
The sound is in some location on my 2nd hard disc.
I checked this page
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-import-audio-into-imovie-09-project s.navId-323836.html
but this does not help my requirement.
I have a video in which there was a lot of hiss recorded via camera I exported the audio and using some audio filtering softwares cleaned the sound and now I want to import this clean sound back to my imoive project.
It is a .wav file which is clean and without hiss.

I see.By the time I saw your msg I had done the same and opened Itunes to play.
There was an option in Imovie to import Itunes playlist or file and was able to do so.
Any one will guess as in File some import menu
should exist for this.In this case it was not that.
mp3 clip needs to be played in Itunes
where Itunes will make it a part of the mp3 library it has.
Then Imovie 09 has a way to import the shared playlist from itunes.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love
