Looking for a sound software

hi all,
I'm looking for a small sound manipulation software that would enable me cut out some parts of an mp3 song.
My objective is get the part of the MP3 song that I like (The Muppet Show theme) so that I can use it as a ring tone in my mobile phone.
I don't know if this is possible with Garageband.
Thank you in advance,
Johannes
Ps: I apologize for posting this message in this section. I couldn't find a more suitable forum.

Johannes,
You can certainly do it in GarageBand, although not the most ideal method I guess:
Open Garageband. Drag and drop the MP3 into the Garageband window and it will import the file. Highlight/Play the track and choose where you want to edit the track using the play marker. Choose Edit->Split to separate the bits of the track you want (repeat as appropriate). Next highlight the bits of the track you don't want to keep (you can hold down Shift to highlight multiple sections) and press delete (you may need to click off the track and back on to the bits you're deleting) - this should leave you with the bit of the track you want.
When you have finished you can export it to iTunes: File->Export to iTunes. The file in iTunes is an AIF file that you can then convert to MP3 again (and do what you like with!)
Alternatively, you could try Audacity, a free Sound Editor, at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (I've not used it myself yet, but I'm guessing it's a more direct method!).
I hope that helps,
Jon

  • I'm looking for photo editing software

    I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo.  I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom.  What is recommended?

    For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
    There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
    Good luck,

  • Looking for Rickenbacker sound as software instrument or sample library

    Hi everybody,
    does anybody here know if there is any kind of software instrument pout there or a sample library that can be used for a (demo) substitution for a Rickenbacker bass guitar sound?
    You know, this incredibly and unmatched elastic and rumbly bass guitar sound that can send your stomach on a roller coaster ride...

    Hey Trey,
    Are you looking for loops to create music, or pre-existing music beds? For loops, I've used bandmate loops - http://www.bandmateloops.com - most of them sound really good to me. I don't really use music beds in my projects.
    If you're looking for sound effects and don't need loops, STP can work with several formats, so there are the large cd libraries if you're looking for lots of (expensive) choices, or if you just need a couple of sounds you're not finding, you could try a site like http://sounddogs.com. They have thousands of downloadable effects, and you pay based on the number and length of the effect. I've used them before, and they were really convenient. They also might have music beds available, but they most likely won't be in apple loop format.
    Hope this helps!

  • Looking for External Sound Device for iBook G4

    Does anyone know of an external audio device similar to Creative Technology's Sound Blaster Extigy that will work with my iBook G4? I would like to record CDs played through an external CD player that has audio compression. Unfortunately the iBook lacks audio inputs. Thanks.
    Don Squires

    Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
    http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SonicaTheater-main.html
    I had an Extigy with my previous notebook (presario 1500) and absolutely loved the sound I got through my creative 5.1 speakers, at least when my computer was working properly
    I see the sonic theatre as the mac equivalent, although it doesn't appear to have a remote, oh well. I have no idea how much of the software will work on a mac, but it can't be too hard to find some good audio software.

  • I am using garageband.  May upgrade.I am looking for more sounds....

    Hi,
    I am looking for more guitar sounds and software sounds (violin). Does Logic Express provide this? Is there a list of what it provides (I mean different guitar sounds and software sounds for a MIDI keyboard)
    Thanks!

    Just add more sounds to GB.
    "Upgrade" to Logic if you want more knobs to twist, not because you'd like a few more samples.

  • LOOKING FOR SOME INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE

    Hey does anybody know some really good quality instrument software that I can run midi with logic? I know about the Jam packs but from what I hear they are not as great as they should be. Im looking for drums,orchestra, piano, brass, strings etc. Any help would be great, thanx.

    whoa, first i gotta say that the jam packs ARE Excellent! i was a GarageBand user first who has since made the jump to Logic (currently 7.2 and about to upgrade to 8). the jam packs for me were a must for GBand although some of those types of sounds are already in Logic.
    For the record jam Packs include the following:
    1. Loops. There are 2 kinds of loops. The first is a "real instrument loop" that is a recording of a real musician in a real studio playing real instruments. These are of high quality though i don't personally use them very much except for some of the percussion loops. However these loops have been analyzed and will conform to tempos and keys (within reason) automatically. You may also cut them up at will. i have created some good Amen type breaks as i make Drum and Bass. The new vocal jam pack has some very well recorded and produced samples.
    The second kind of loops are midi loops. These can conform to all tempos and keys and can be re-arranged at will. Midi loops can be applied to any Software Instrument these are great if you find something close but want to alter it or for analyzing certain styles. Some of the midi guitar loops suprisingly realistic.
    2. All jam packs include Software Instruments. These are of the EXS24 type but can be loaded into both logic and garageband which doesn't feature the EXS24 as it appears in logic, though the basic functionality is there. These instruments can be loaded into GBand and Logic directly. In logic they are in the channel strip settings under GarageBand. They load a simplified version of EXS. The jam packs make use of the instruments by providing loops made with those instruments. Of course you can use the loops and instruments separately.
    Here is the break down.
    The ReMix Jam Pack (my favorite) is a collection of synthetic sounds primarily for Dance Music. you will find 808's 909's though no 303's. These were made in cooperation with Roland (which is rare) you will also find some great although somewhat simplified synth emulations. The loops are primarily synths and drums but they cover almost every genre of dance from House, Trance Electro and Drum and Bass.
    The World Music Jam Pack covers a lot of ground (literally) with asian, latin european, and african instruments and loops. Some of these are great the sitar and steel drums are awesome. Some are disappointing the Bag Pipes for instance. However bag pipes are kind of hard to do and to program correctly however i did download a Amazing Grace midi file and they actually sounded really good.
    The Rhythm Section Jam Pack is a more Rock oriented one with electric and acoustic guitars and basses, horns drum etc. there a really good loops and software instruments. Since these instruments are so well known and since people are so used to hearing them played by real musicians careful programming of the virtual instruments is a must for a finished song. But these can be great for sketches to be played by a real musician later. The drum loops are wonderful, very usable and a singer songwriter's dream come true.
    The Symphonic Orchestra Jam Pack has exactly what you think it would. I feel less qualified to give an opinion on this but can probably safely say that this would not be able to compete with a larger and much more expensive dedicated symphonic instrument. They are usable for a quick spot of drama or as a symphonic backing.
    The last available Jam Pack is the Voices one. This is a weird one because you can't really make a complete vocal line from samples. Mostly because you can't tell a sample what to sing. Also the Voices software instruments are mostly oohhs and ahhs choirs which never sound "real" there is one that you can go through vowels with the mod wheel but again who just talks or sings in vowels? To its credit the samples that are sung by real singers sound incredible though some may find the production a bit OTT. They do work well for my chosen genre which tends to use just vocal snippets and i produced a song that is just lovely using a few lines from one of the "singers" But like all the Jam packs they are completely royalty free and legal to use in a song. They also sync perfectly with Logic and GBand.
    There is one more Jam Pack which i don't have because it is no longer available, so I can't really comment on it.
    i know this was long and i apologize. i probably should have said. " Don't worry about it just buy Logic 8 because you get the first five Jam Packs (not including voices but it does include the first and no longer available one) FOR FREE!" Even for the full version of Logic it's like buying the Jam Packs and getting Logic for free!
    also about the original question about instrument plug-ins. Logic can only use Audio Unit (AU) Plug-ins VSTs will not work in (natively) Logic. For most plug ins you can usually download a "Demo" version to get an idea if it is right for you. There are freeware, shareware, and for pay AU's all over the web and there are multiple forums for discussing them. www.kvraudio.com is an excellent forum completely dedicated to digital audio production with an emphasis on Plug-Ins and many developers of plug-ins actually have their user forums there and communicate directly with users of their products.
    I hope this clarifies things- gos

  • Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet

    Hello folks,
    I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
    I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
    At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
    I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
    I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
    I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
    So just a sum up:
    I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
    MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
    I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...
