Mixing down to Itunes

Can anyone advise the best way to mix a track down to Itunes from LE7?
When I mix it to itunes using the bounce option the result seems to sounds different to when I do a primary mix within the arrange window.
Thanks

Try turning off Soundcheck and the also turn off the EQ in iTunes.

  • Itunes mix down file too big?

    Greetings from the bayou,
    I am trying to e-mail a band mate a mix of a song from GB in itunes. I didn't notice this before, but the file is 24.3 MB. Is there a way/program or a setting in itunes to compress these files to meet my 10MB limit. Also, I would like to give some direction on the other end for him to open it in windows/itunes if possible. Should I store these songs in such a large file format for that matter? Mix down to itunes then transfer to smaller file size, then delete large files...
    Thanks for your time,

    That's up to you. The uncompressed AIFF files are of the highest quality, but you can always make another mixdown from the GB file if you want to.

  • Is there a way to mix down your tracks into one so you can have more tracks to use

    Here is my tutorial to bounce tracks

    some quality is lost due to export compression, but it's bareable considering you don't need to connect to a pc or use itunes...

  • Mixing Down Analog Tape mixes to Garageband

    Just wondering if anyone has tried to mix down songs from analog tape (4-tracks, reel to reels, etc.) to Garageband. I've been trying to do this but for some reason after saving as an MP3, the mix sounds overly compressed, dull, and quiet. I am not using the compression in Garageband. I'm just plugging into the line in from my eight track and mixing down. If any on out there has any tips on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Hey Thanks for the info. I haven't been ticking the compress box and it still sounds totally compressed after mixdown. I usually mix down from my 8 track, 1/4 inch tape machine to a 1/4 inch two track. all analog. I then usually send the two track reel out for mastering (John Golden). I never do the mastering myself...I'm just looking for a way to make quick mixdowns onto digital format using garageband. The thing is I can get it to sound pretty great in Garageband but for some reason, on exporting it to itunes or saving it, the volume goes down and the thing sounds compressed. I was thinking that there's something I'm missing, but it seems like it's probably gonna happen no matter what. Let me know if you have any more tips. And thanks.
    Make sure normalize is not checked in GB and you're happy with the levels.
    Then, try sharing it to your desktop (and when you share it make sure it's shared at CD quality sound). Then open it up in QT. If you do share it to iTunes, make sure your iTunes preference settings are not impacting the sound at all (e.g you don't want the enhancer or anything like that).

  • Mixing down - lost MIDI tracks

    Hi
    I have just started using GarageBand over the past couple of months. I have figured out all about locking tracks etc - or so I thought. I can get all the tracks to run fine (real audio and MIDI). The only thing is that when I export to iTunes, a couple of the MIDI tracks can be lost. Why???
    It all seems quite random. My MIDI keyboard is connected. And all the tracks are locked for mixing down. (Did I need to have the keyboard connected at the moment when I locked the tracks, maybe?) The funny thing is, on some songs I am hearing all the tracks, MIDI included.
    So, baffled...

    You don't need to have the keyboard connected for exporting the mix: and you don't need the tracks to be locked - that is to make it easier for the CPU to handle the load with a lot of tracks.
    As to the missing tracks, forgive me for asking, but are you sure you didn't click the mute button instead of the lock button? (We've all done things like that! - and it's worth starting with the basics). Anyway, try a mix without locking the tracks - perhaps that's the problem, and, as I say, there's no need.

  • Startling error messages when trying to bounce my final mixes down.

    Friends, Im nervous about this one as I've logged in 100+ hours and dropped a little bit of $ for off-site recording.
    When Im ready to "send songs to disk", an error message pops up saying "GarageBand found 2 audio files in 8-bit format" "This format is unsupported and can not be played back" with an OK" option. After pressing OK, it proceeds to mix down but saves nowehere on my comp (or drive).
    After restarting and trying to reopen the session, Im given this error message: "This file type is not supported and gives me the truly horrible option of "abort". Then it gives me the error message again.
    It then gives me the original error message once more: "GarageBand found 2 audio files in 8-bit format" "This format is unsupported and can not be played back" with an OK" option. After I press it, it gives me that same message again for good measure and now the session is up.
    But I cant save it and I cant send a mix anywhere. So Im pretty screwed?
    We did a little off-site recording and imported those files Sunday, but Ive been working on it for a few days before these glitches came through.
    HELP!
    Im on a brand new MacBook OSX10.9 with Garage Band !! 6.0.5

    Thank you, Leonie for replying.
    So I went to the contents of the file and took the problem files out.
    It immediatley pops up a error saying that a track was not found. "Audio File "guiro.wav" not found"
    Obviously, since the track for guiro is still there.
    But as I tried to move on, I still got a ""GarageBand found 1 audio file in 8-bit format" before I could get to the session and start deleting them.
    As I began doing just that, that same ol' error message popped up fpr every move and then when I finished, it still wouldnt save anything saying..."The document 'SongFour.band' could not be saved.

  • Can I mix down to 32 bit at a higher sample rate than 44.1 kHz ?

    When I use Ableton Live, it lets me choose 16, 24, or 32 bit, and then I can choose a sample rate all the way up to 192000.  Is this possible in Audition ?  I have been going through all the preferences and all the tabs and I can't find this option.  All I find is a convert option, or the adjust option.  But that's not what I want.  I want to mix down this way.
    The closest thing I found is when I go to "Export Audio Mix Down", I can select 32 bit.  Then there is a box for sample rate, with all the different values.  But it won't allow me to change it from 44100.

    Can someone explain this process in laymens terms:
    http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/OzoneDitheringGuide.pdf ---> specifically Section: VIII "Don't believe the hype"
    I don't read graphs well, can someone put in laymens terms how to do this test, step by step, and where do i get a pure sinewave to import into audition in the first place??
    UNbelievable: So I have to first run visual tests using a sinewave to make sure dither is working properly, then do listening tests with different types of dither to hear which I like best on my source material, and then for different source material it's best to use different types of dither techniques???... Am I getting this right???...
    Hmm... you only need to run tests and do all that crap if you are completely paranoid. Visual tests prove nothing in terms of what you want to put on a CD - unless it's test tones, of course. For the vast majority of use, any form of dither at all is so much better than no dither that it simply doesn't matter. At the extreme risk of upsetting the vast majority of users, I'd say that dither is more critical if you are reproducing wide dynamic range acoustic material than anything produced synthetically in a studio - simply because the extremely compressed nature of most commercial music means that even the reverb tails drop off into noise before you get to the dither level. And that's one of the main points really - if the noise floor of your recording is at, say, -80dB then you simply won't be hearing the effects of dither, whatever form it takes - because that noise is doing the dithering for you. So you'd only ever hear the effect of LSB dither (what MBIT+, etc. does) when you do a fade to the 16-bit absolute zero at the end of your track.
    Second point: you cannot dither a 32-bit Floating Point recording, under any circumstances at all. You can only dither a recording if it's stored in an integer-based format - like the 16-bit files that go on a CD. Technically then, you can dither a 24-bit recording - although there wouldn't be any point, because the dither would be at a level which was impossible to reproduce on real-world electronics - which would promptly swamp the entire effect you were listening for with its own noise anyway. Bottom line - the only signals you need to dither are the 16-bit ones on the file you use for creating CD copies. And you should only dither once - hence the seemingly strange instructions in the Ozone guide about turning off the Audition dither when you save the converted copy. The basic idea is that you apply the dither to the 32-bit file during the truncation process - and that's dithered the file (albeit 'virtually') just the once. Now if you do the final file conversion in Audition, you need to make sure the dithering is turned off during the process, otherwise all the good work that Ozone did is undone. What you need to do is to transfer the Ozone dithering at the 16-bit level directly to a 16-bit file proper, without anything else interfering with it at all. So what you do with Ozone is to do the dithering to your master file, and save that as something else - don't leave the master file like that at all. After saving it, undo the changes to the original, in fact - otherwise it's effectively not a file you could use to generate a master with a greater-than-16-bit depth from any more, because it will all have been truncated. Small point, but easy to overlook!
    just what's the easiest way to test if a simple dithering setting is
    working for 32-bit down to 16-bit in Audition?...  Why is there no info
    about dithering from 32 bit to 16 bit (which is better then dithering
    from 24-bit isn't it)?
    I hope that the answers to at least some of this are clearer now, but just to reiterate: The easiest way to test if its working is to burn a CD with your material on it, and at the end of a track, turn the volume right up. If it fades away smoothly to absolute zero on a system with lower noise than the CD produces then the dither has worked. If you hear a strange sort-of 'crunchy' noise at the final point, then it hasn't. There is info about the 32 to 16-bit dithering process in the Ozone manual, but you probably didn't understand it, and the reason that there's nothing worth talking about in the Audition manual is because it's pretty useless. Earlier versions of it were better, but Adobe didn't seem to like that too much, so it's been systematically denuded of useful information over the releases. Don't ask me why; I don't know what the official answer to the manual situation is at all, except that manuals are expensive to print, and have also to be compatible with the file format for the help files - which are essentially identical to it.
    Part of the answer will undoubtedly be that Audition is a 'professional' product, and that 'professionals' should know all this stuff already, therefore the manual only really has to be a list of available functions, and not how to use them. I don't like that approach very much - there's no baseline definition of what a 'professional' should know (or even how they should behave...), and it's an unrealistic view of the people that use Audition anyway. Many of them would regard themselves as professional journalists, or whatever, but they still have to use the software, despite knowing very little about it technically. For these people, and probably a lot of others, the manual sucks big time.
    It's all about educating people in the end - and as you are in the process of discovering, all education causes brain damage - otherwise it hasn't worked.

  • Error message when mixing down audio

    Hi gang
    I occasionally get an error message when mixing down audio on a FCP 5.1.4 project. Message sez: File error: the specified is open and in use by this or another application.
    I've never seen this before. No other applications are open at the time this message comes up.
    thanks for any clarification.
    Craig

    Thanks for your reply. No . . . and if I try a bit later in the project, it seems to render the audio fine. Maybe I'll just trash my prefs and see what happens.

  • Trying to down load itunes 10.4 but it gave an error couldnt remove older version of bonjour... any ideas

    Got a message while down loading Itunes 10.4... couldn't remove older version of bonjour??

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why when mixing down video, audio gets panned to left?

    I don't know why it happens. I've checked and it's not panned at all before the mix down/render. Any help?

    I think it figured it out. If you're doing a stereo project but have the project set to Surround it will mix down with an odd pan to the left. Just an FYI.
    I fixed the project properties and now it mixed down with no pan.

  • MIXING DOWN VIDEO TRACKS

    I am ready to out put my project which has multiple video layers. I know I can nest my effect layers but is there a way to mix down all of my layers making one video layer with all of the effects rendered?

    Then there's still no need to "mixdown" the video.
    For DVD, the best method is to export a self-contained or reference movie (File->Export->QuickTime Movie). Note that if your Sequence isn't already fully rendered, it may take some time. Also make sure you include chapter markers if needed and that you do NOT recompress all frames.
    Use the QuickTime Movie in Compressor and choose the appropriate DVD preset.
    Once Compressor is done, import the resulting .m2v video file and the .ac3 audio file into DVD-SP for authoring and burning.
    For going to tape, fully render the Timeline then then perform a 'Print-to-Video' or just hit record on your DV recorder and hit the space bar on your Mac keyboard (assuming you're working in DV).
