Moving Multiple Tracks

Hey all. Is there a way to move multiple tracks at one time, so that everything stays together? For example, if I wanted to move a guitar track and a seperate vocal track, could I move both at the same time?

I've been wondering about this as well. If you're familiar with Pro Tools, you can select multiple tracks by Shift-Clicking their names (i.e. Violins, Violas, Celli, Basses), and then drag those tracks vertically. I'm not talking about moving regions here. I would like to change the vertical order of tracks in the Arrange Window (and not by sorting). Is there a way to do this in LP?

Moving multiple tracks & group hiding...

There are a lot of reviews on Logic 9, all of which focus on Flex time, but there are some simple questions that I would like to ask that I can't seem to get out of any review, perhaps someone here knows. Hardly any of the stores here have Logic 9 installed so I can't test...
1) Is it possible to move multiple tracks in arrange at the same time? I.e. shift select or lasso select 2 or more tracks and move them in arrange?
2) On the new group tracks dialog (with the list of all groups, etc.) I noticed that you can "Hide" groups. However, is there some keypress + click option that allows you to "Show" a group that you've selected? So an example would be, every track is shown, and I just want to "Show" my drum group, would I have to hide all, then find the drum group and uncheck it?
3) Is there any way to show both the L&R waveforms on a stereo audio file? Or are we still limited to the one waveform? Maybe I just don't know how to show this, it might be something simple.
4) Is there a "Jump to grid" sort of option like in cubase or PT? Basically, if you are in arrange, and you click in the bars beats area, can the current position jump to the closest grid location? I don't know how else to explain this, hopefully someone here knows what I mean.
5) The new click zones looks like what the doctor ordered, but is there a click zone at the top of the waveform to control the region volume ala Cubase/Nuendo/PH Record? I know that you can do this on the volume automation lane, or insert something to control gain pre inserts and automate that, but I just want to know if the click zones included that.

nobody has an answer to these?

Moving multiple tracks with volume changes

I'm sure this has been addressed but I can't find it here - I have multiple tracks in Garageband 9. I can move multiple tracks but any volume adjustments do not move with them. Is it possible to move tracks and volume adjustments together? For instance if I shorten the first track how can I move all the other tracks and volume adjustments related to those tracks at once without having to reset every volume curve point?

Controlling Multiple track volumes by moving only one fader???

I have a 4 part harmony, 4 vocals on 4 separate tracks. I have the volume mix of the 4 vox tracks exactly how i want them to sound together. Is there any way to lock them to each other so i can move one fader to change the volume of all 4 in unison? it's getting annoying changing each track by .2db at a time to try and get the right level for the harmony as a whole. thanks in advance.

Similar question, can volume automation of a track be moved in unison with the volume of other tracks in a group? example: 3 vocal tracks in a group, all have volume automation data and all are the perfect levels with regards to one another, but i want to lower the entire vocal mix, having all the automation points for each track change by the same amount. thanks again in advance.
Jim Frazier's suggestion works great for this: route the three tracks to a bus/aux track, and use that fader to adjust the master vocal level. It's also possible to group/select all automation points at once across multiple tracks, but I think you'll find using a fader will be easier for this.

JAR Files for multiple tracks

Hi All,
We have a scenario where we need to provide JAR files which needs to be accessible by all the tracks.Is there any solution which is being followed.
In the current landscape we have built external library DC's for each track and trying to access the JARS. But the limitation where we are struck up is this DC is being only accessible to DC's in that track but not to the remaining tracks.
Is there a global solution where we i can make my JAR file can be made accessible to multiple tracks.
Thanks & Regards,
Lokesh Kamana.

Hi,
Thats a good idea.
I have a SC component created in SLD and create a track for this and copy the ext lib DC to this track.
Define outbound connections for moving transports.
But how to create an SCA file for my DC.
ANS:-Just by clicking on assembly get a SCA file for this track and as outbound connection is defined this SCA gets moved to my track import that to all my tracks where i carry out my development.
While moving the transports to other environments do i need to move this SCA file also along with them.
Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not.
Thanks & Regards,
Lokesh Kamana.

"manually manage music..." missing songs when moving multiple albums at once

Since updating to iTunes 10.6.1.7, when adding songs to my iPhone (iPhone 4, iOS 5.1) it does not fully copy every track/song.
I have it set to "manually manage music and videos" ...when I am moving multiple albums to the thing at once, the earlier albums only copy the songs started before I select the next album. Consequently, I find that I only have partial albums for almost everything. I suppose I could be patient and wait for each album to download before selecting another album, but this used to work before and took a lot less time. (I would drag multiple albums into my iPhone and it would queue up all of the tracks(songs) and correctly download asynchronously.)
Is this a known bug or is there something I am doing wrong? (As always, I did some searching for answers but came up empty on this one...)
Thanks in advance for your help!

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

Multiple track (or region) selection for mass editing and deleting.

My project has multiple tracks, and it is too long. So I'd like to be able to select multiple tracks and then remove regions across multiple tracks in one move rather than having to delete regions track by track, and then moving them back to close the gap (which is a time consuming pain)
Is this possible?
Many thanks

Selecting multiple tracks to assign compilation tag

Hello,
If I right click on a single track and select "get info" I can check the "part of compilation" check box. However, if I select multiple songs from a compilation album, the check box is no longer present under the info tab. Is this a bug with the latest version of iTunes? Or has the ability to simultaneously assign multiple songs as part of a compilation been removed?
Thanks,

Problem solved. The check box is moved to a different tab (options) if multiple tracks are selected. Gotta love how intuitive apple products are . . .

Multiple Track Select Tool - Deselect one clip

On a Mac, I am using the Track Select tool with the shift key held down to select multiple tracks at a certain point. It keeps selecting one clip more than I want. How can I deselect that one clip and retain the others?

Peter J Kovacs wrote:
You can just switch back to the Selection Tool and then SHIFT click the tracks you want to deselect.
Alternatively you can just use the Selection Tool to drag a window across the multiple clips/tracks you want to select. However, you must start dragging the selection window in the empty space above all the the track otherwise you'll just end up just moving a clip.
-Pete
I think you mean switch back to the selection tool and the shift click the clip you want to deselect, not the track.

Multiple Track Editing

I just started working with multiple tracks(specifically for my podcast, but this question should be able to be answered by anyone working with multiple tracks). The problem I'm having is making edits to the file without de-synching the audio. Basically, if I want to edit out a section of the audio, I apparently can only edit it out in one of my two tracks. That means I have to go in to the second track and try to edit the same amount of that track out before moving everything over to fill the gap. Is there a way to edit something out of multiple tracks at once?

Yeah, when you find the Track Editor it seems like it would be the right place to do all the dirty work, but its really a VERY limited editor, and really the UI would be pretty complicated if it had to handle more than a single track at a time.
Once you get used to it, editing in the Timeline really is pretty quick, at least I've found it so. Hopefully it will work well for you once you give it a a go.
Good luck, and have fun --Hang

Having problems moving ALL tracks and Arrangements tracks over slightly

Hi there
I need to be able to move every track I've created AND the Arrangement tracks together say about 10 seconds to the right as I want to put a click track intro that I didnt think to create in the first place. But everything I've tried seems a little messy.
I've tried selecting the first arranngement track, holding down SHIFT and then selecting the last arrangement track and moving them over but that seems to move the tracks to randomly anything between 20 seconds and 3 minutes.
I MUST have the arrangements move with the tracks exactly and I dont want to have to adjust them later.
Any ideas how its done?
thanks

This does not work. Moving/multiple whole arrangements really doesnt work well at all.
Someone else might have a better suggestion... or not. This could just be one of those limitations of GB. Moving forward, if you're going to want to be able to easily tweak things like this and many more, you might want to look into Logic.
Not that I'd buy Logic for that SOLE reason, but does anyone know if its actually possible/easier in logic?
Unfortunatley suggesting someone buys logic seems to be the general suggestion to a lot of users on this Garageband forum when they cant get GB to do something they want, but its hardly ever 100% confirmed that Logic can perform the suggested tasks. (By the way I do know that this isnt a Logic forum).
If that's the SOLE reason you'd buy Logic, then it's not worth it. Knowing that you want this intro space at the beginning of your songs, you could just start your next GB song from bar 5 or 9 or wherever. Problem solved (right?).
However, the reason people give the "buy Logic then" answer is because all these walls people hit in GB don't exist in Logic. You can do what you describe in Logic and a whole lot more. The price (outside of the literal price) is that you give up the simplicity of GB.
Beyond this one issue, if you'd be generally interested in a lot more options when you record, and don't mind spending some time learning how to use them, then maybe Logic would be something you'd be interested in.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

Multiple tracks on a single processor

Hi,
Whenever I create an audio processor, the number of tracks is always one, that figures that I can only transmit a single codec, like gsm or ulaw. Say, i need a processor with multiple tracks in order to switch codecs dynamically during session. How can it be done? i've tried using ProcessorModel and feed it with multiple audio formats, but it would throw a CannotRealizeProcessor exception all the time. Any ideas?

I was waiting for someone to give you an answer on this because I'm curious if anyone has been able to do what you described...
Alas, from the extreme silence I assume nobody has been able to do what you describe. Personally, I think I would create a custom Codec that would incorporate the codecs I wanted to switch between and do it that way. You would have only one track but the codec would have to somehow know when to switch decoding/encoding methods. Presumably a payload change event or other programming event could trigger this. This is somewhat similar to how I've handled DTMF events with Ulaw data in the past.

Advice Needed: Filtering/Adding effects to multiple tracks

I'm writing a dance song, and at one point would like to apply a few filtering sweeps on selected drum tracks.
Which is the best way to do it? Is it to bounce down the tracks into an audio file, then apply the effects onto that file by itself, or is it better to route the multiple tracks to an effects bus?
I have been trying using a bus, but have found that as soon as I route the tracks to the bus, the is a change in the sound quality of the track (louder and sometimes slightly distorted), even without any plugins on the bus. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

How are you routing to a bus? If you are just using sends, then what's happeing is that the individual channels are going to the master output, and also being sent to a bus that is also going to the master output - this everything sent to that bus will get louder.
If you want to send a bunch of channels directly to a bus for insert processing, then change each channel's output to the bus, rather than the main output, so the individual channels only go to the mix via the bus, and not directly.
Or are you doing something different to that?

How do I extract multiple tracks from a CD into a single file in Audition CS6?

I use Audition to edit my Pastor's messages. The message CD is made with five minute tracks. I want to extract the tracks from the CD into a single file for editing and altering the track lengths. I have done this before in Audition CS6, but I haven't been able to find instructions for it. I only found a note stating this is available in AuditionCC.

I have discovered an answer to my problem. The way to bring multiple tracks into Audition CS6 from a CD is to use the FILE / OPEN APPEND / TO NEW command. This brings the separate tracks into a single file in Audition CD6. Thanks to everyone who commented.
