Looping part of a song

Hi guys,
All new to Garageband with a recent purchase of a schmick new iMac, should of moved to mac a long time ago!
I am wanting to know how I can loop part of a song?
For example, I have a song that has a cool intro and I want to extend only that particular section then continue on with the song once it kicks in.
I can see the normal way of looping by mouse over at the end of the selected track then dragging it out however this is looping the entire piece of music, I only need say the first 45 seconds looped.
I have used a great tool in another audio app where it let's you loop in real-time and then saves your changes, all by clicking on either the 2 beat, 4 beat or 8 beat loop buttons when it approaches on your timeline.
Does Garageband have a similar feature or some easy functionality to make this task less painful?
Much appreciate anyone's assistance or feedback

split the region at the point you wish to loop:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
move the right hand region away and then you can loop the intro piece as you already learned.

Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone. The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

How can I edit out a part of my song in itunes?

I need to edit out a part of my song but keep the rest. And the part I need to edit out is in the middle.

Bakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

How do I put parts of multiple songs into one song?

I'm trying to make a mix of songs for my friends party and I was wondering how I could put parts of multiple songs together into one soundfile? If iTunes can't do this are their any other softwares that could do this? Thanks, appreciate it.

Prosper,
That is beyond the ability of iTunes, and requires the use of an audio editor.
A free one that many people like is Audacity.
After you do the editing in Audacity, you can export an MP3 and add it in to your iTunes library. The original files remain unchanged.

Going to a particular part of a song

I looked in the help and forums but cannot figure out to "fast forward" thru a song to get to the part where I want to get without waiting thru it. Once I have waited thru it once I can go back to the point where I actually want to get, but if the song "finishes" all the way, I can't go back using the slide control.
I ALSO would love to be able to insert a point in a song that's a "skip to" point rather than having to manually scroll thru.
My son is using this to rehearse songs, and sometimes there is over a minute of instrumental before he gets to the part of the song he really needs to rehearse. If you need to rehearse something 20-30 times, this is a LOT of wasted time!!!!
Please help!

Drag the slider at the top of iTunes in the *Now Playing* window.

In iTunes, select the song, right click - get info.
Click the Options tab and set the *Start time/Stop times* to what you want.
When you play it, it will always start here.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
select "get info".
go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
click "OK".
Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different start/stop time.
Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

How do i delete part of a song, ie spoken intro

how do i delete part of a song already in my music library. ie the spoken intro to a song. i want the song but not the spoken intro part.

If you do Get Info for the song - then (in Options tab, I think) amend the Start Time of the track so it's the point where the music starts. iTunes will permanently 'remember' your change.

How come itunes only downloaded part of a song?

I bought a a couple of albums off of itunes and on one song (that i know of) on each album only plays part of the song. For example: if you have a 3:45 song it will only play 2:35 of the song and then it cuts off and moves onto the next song on the album. Can anybody help with this problem. I want my moneys worth. Thanks.

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

TS1424 itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I correct that?

itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I fix it or get a refund?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs for a few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Is it possible to save part of a song in Garageband?

Hello,
I am just wondering if there is a way to save part of a song in Garageband. I used some arrangements to a song I'm using. I labeled one part, "Part 1," the next part, "Part 2," the next part, "Part 3," etc.
I want to save each part individually. I want to save Part 1 in one file, Part 2 in another file, Part 3 in another file, etc. Is this possible? And, if it is, how can I do that?
I'll appreciate every thorough answer. Thanks for reading and answering.

Do you mean "save as different GarageBand project" or as "song"? You can export any part of your song individually using the cycle region. When the cycle region is active, only that part of the song marked with the yellow cycle bar will be saved to an audio file or exported to iTunes.
Regards
Léonie

My iPhone 4S is only playing part of a song and then stops, sometimes plays whole song but for the most part it just stops randomly

My iPhone 4S is only playing part of a song and then stops, sometimes plays whole song but for the most part it just stops randomly

Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup. If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring? IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode??? I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.

Can I transpose only part of a song?

I need to lower the key of a song that's part of a medley. The first two parts are fine, so I don't need to lower the whole thing. Is there a way that I can just lower part of the song?

You have to think of three different levels where you apply transposition
1) MIDI Event
You can just transpose individual MIDI Events bu dragging them up or down
2) Region
Select one or multiple Regions and use the Transpose Slider in the Inspector of the Audio or MIDI Editor. The Region Header in the Workspace (Tracks Area) will indicate the transpose number with a number (see the screenshot)
3) All Tracks
Apply Transposition to all Tracks with the Transposition Track by setting up the Transposition Curve, the section along the timeline that is transposed.
One important thing to keep in mind is that specific Regions (imported Audio FIles or Audio Files with Flex disabled) ignore the Transpose command and can't be transposed that way.
You can find more on all those transpose topics with a detailed explanation of the Flex Mode in my book "GarageBand X - How it Works"
In this screenshot, I transposed the Audio Region (+2) and the MIDI Region (+4). In addition I setup the Tranposition curve to transpose the Verse by +5 semitones and then go down -2 (not that this would make any sense musically).
Hope that helps
