Mixdown Garage Band Track to iTunes - result comes out silent.

I use garage band to contain several tracks I have recorded live. I mute and lock all tracks except the one I want to play I unmute and then choose mixdown to iTunes. The resulting file in iTunes is silent. When I go back and try to play the unmuted track in Garage Band it plays silent. Only when I double-click on the track and choose 'monitor sound' then go back to the track window does it then play in Garage Band and then I can send it to iTunes successfully. The problem is, I still haven't discovered why a track will not play or send to iTunes. What control is making this happen/not happen. Apparently the 'monitor sound' check box is not the answer because sometimes it works and sometimes not. There seems to be something else that is causing a track to be silent or to play and it is other than the mute button.
Any clues on this?
TIA,
Ken

There is no reason to lock a track you don't want to play. Locking is very useful if you have a lot of effects, or if it is a software track that is taxing the CPU. If none of those conditions exist, then locking is a wasted effort.
The resulting file in iTunes is silent.

Garage Band it plays silent. Only when I double-click

to the track window does it then play in Garage Band
and then I can send it to iTunes successfully.
The monitor function should only be a factor when recording, not on playback. It is to allow you to monitor with any effects you have selected while recording. I never use this option, because I don't apply any effect until I have recorded the track and I am mixing.
The problem is, I still haven't discovered why a track
will not play or send to iTunes. What control is

'monitor sound' check box is not the answer because

Any track that is muted will not play. If you have any tracks soloed, no non-soloed tracks will play. I am not sure just what you could be doing here. Make sure all tracks are not muted and not soloed. Then mute any you don't want, and mix to your satisfaction. When you are satisfied, export to iTunes should give you exactly what you hear in GB.

Ipad 2 to iMac Garage band track transfer

Hi, is there a simple way to transfer my ipad2 garage band tracks onto my iMac and Vice versa.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I did. Alternative products and apps may be available but this worked for me
Purchaces:
iRig Midi (physical device)
MidiBridge (app)
Configuration:
Connect the midi out of the Yamaha DTXplorer to the midi in of the iRig Midi
Connect the iRig Midi to your iPad
Now, here's the bit that made me think it was worth writing this post. The DTXplorer doesn't support custom midi mapping and it uses different midi notes than those used by GarageBand for iPad. To get around this you need to remap the incomming midi on the iPad using an app such as MidiBridge.
In MidiBridge, connect the iRig input to the MidiBridge output
Select the config icon on the iRig input and apply the Note Mapper. Here is what you need to remap to get things working
Bass Drum: A0 (33) -> C1 (36)
Low Tom: G1 (43) -> F1 (41)
Mid Tom: B1 (47) -> A1 (45)
Snare Drum: G0 (31) -> D1 (38)
The rest are mapped properly by default
In MidiBridge, you might want to save the configuration
Open up GarageBand and drum away!

When does itunes radio come out in the uk

Apple has not said, only that iTunes Radio is only available in the US at this time. There are probably copyright law issues that need to be resolved for usage of music in other countries.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

Import track from itunes to garage band track sped way up

I'm attempting to import a track from iTunes to garageband, but each time the track appears to be compressed and plays very rapidly (chipmunk style).
I recorded the track on my iPod using iTalk.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!

Separating and IDing GARAGE BAND tracks

GARAGE BAND
Posted: May 12, 2006 2:59 PM

When transferring music from a cassette - to the computer - to a CD, I lose the track designators. That is, all the songs on the CD are on "track one". Can I retain the track designators using only the software that comes with Garage Band or do I have to go to other sources to have that capability?
Thanks in advance

It is also quite easy to split the large track into smaller ones.
• Set the playhead on a silent space between tracks.
• Select split in the edit menu.
• Do this for each silent area.
Then create new tracks to put these sections into:
• Select the track and press ⌘ +d for each new track.
• Drag the sections each into their own track.
• Click on the solo button for each track and then export to iTunes
The advantage to this is control over fade outs and fade ins. You can even fade one track into another if you wish. You can also control individual volumes more easily.

I'm Just wondering how to make drum beats in garage band using the sounds it comes with? Also how can i use garage band like a drum machine which i can program an entire song part by part????

I'm new to using Garageband and loops with garage band. I just wanted to see if there was a way for me to use the drum sounds provided in garageband to create my own original drum tracks and work with it like a drum machine that i can program an entire song into... any info or tutorials would be a great help.. Thanks!!!

Ah ok, I have a better idea of what you want to do now.
Unfortunately there isn't anything inside GB that can come anywhere close to Acoustica Beatcraft, but there are two tools inside Garageband that can help you do something similar.
First are the built-in keyboards, which will enable you to trigger drum samples with your computer keyboard or mouse. Go to Window -> Keyboard or Window -> Musical Typing. Click with your mouse on the Keyboard or press keys on your computer keyboard with Musical Typing, and you will trigger different drum samples for whatever kit you've chosen for that software track.
Next is the Track Editor: in Piano Roll mode, you can create and see midi notes somewhat similar to the view in this screenshot from AB. On the left side of the Editor, you will see a sideways piano keyboard. When you assign a drum kit to a software track, each of the piano keys corresponds to a different instrument: hi hat, snare, bass drum, etc---you'll have to play them using the on-screen keyboard or musical typing to see what they correspond to. In order to add a MIDI note you hold the CMD button and click with the mouse.
So, if you wanted to add a closed hi-hat hit, you would CMD-click on the Track Editor row corresponding to the closed hi-hat piano key, and then you can drag the MIDI note left & right to change the beat it plays on, or resize the note, which will change its duration.
Or, as you've already observed, you can use Musical Typing to play out a pattern on your computer keyboard while recording, and you will see the midi notes appear in real time in the Track Editor.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions.

Sending garage band track and movie back to i movie

I sent my i movie to garage band so that I could create an audio track to accompany the footage.
How do I then send this back to i movie for further editing?
I have tried using the share tab but this only gives options to send to i dvd, i tunes or i web.
Any suggestions???

This is simpler than it seems.
when you send a movie from iMovie to GarageBand you should already be done with the video editing.
This is for future reference, when you send your movie to GB do all you need to do with the audio, (for example: scoring, re-recording or enhancing the audio)
when you're done with that you dont need the video anymore (dont send the whole thing back to GB). Since you're only using the video for reference delete the video from GB (leaving just the audio), then send it to iTunes as a song recording.
Now open iMovie and and then click on the "Media" button on the bottom right
then find your song and use it as the audio.
So now you dont have to re-send your GB video to iMovie.
-RATM-Man
P.S.
Before you use the iTunes song as your audio, quit iMovie and save it.
right after you quit, re-open iMovie, and THEN you should open the media button and find your song (if you dont do this you wont be able to find your song in the search thingy.)

Know why my mix from Garage Band imported into iTunes is incomplete?

I got a spankin' new iMac and I'm trying to download original Garage Band mixes (combo of midi and real instrument tracks, no more than 12) into iTunes to write a CD. Regardless of the mix format (aif, aac, mp3), when I import into iTunes, some mixes only inlcude one or two of the tracks (the songs play perfectly in Garage Band). One attempt with a song from an aif file imported into iTunes as 9 seperate files, one for each track!

What steps did you take?
Usually you would be able to export song to iTunes via Share --> Send song to iTunes...
I never encountered any problems but maybe you are doing something different?

Making an mp3 a garage band track

Is there a way to take an .mp3 song and import it as a track into garage band?
Thanks

Hi,
+Is there a way to take an .mp3 song and import it as a track into garage band?+
Yes. Just drag it to the Timeline. If it won't import, check to see if it's labeled MP3. If so, change it to mp3, and try again.
