Multiple amps on same guitar track?

Can I apply different amplifiers to sections of the same guitar track? I have even split the track into 2 and made the selections but it seems to play the entire track with the last selected amp. Thanks!

No, it's always one track, one instrument setting (you can automate the parameters of that setting with a curve though. If you want to have two different guitar sounds, use two separate tracks. That's better anyway, you can modify things like volume and EQ independently for the two sounds in the mix.

I'm trying to mix a guitar track so it is heard in the right and left ear and not in the center

I'm trying to mix a guitar track in GarageBand. I'd like to have the same guitar track heard in the right and left ear. When I mix it that way, the guitar comes from the center. Is there a way to place this track so that it appears to come from both the left and right side?

TINY fractions of a second. this is how you get the "full sound"
zoom in as far as you can, and make sure the "snap to grid" and "alignment guides" menuItems are not checked.

How do you use only one plugin in Logic for multiple guitar tracks? I want to only use one instance of Pod Farm and run all my guitar tracks through that one instance.

I want to be able to use only one instance of Pod Farm for my guitars, and have all of my guitar tracks run through it while I'm recording.

What he said. Or here is a similar approach with a picture.
1. Press the SEND button on every stereo (or mono) guitar track you want to send through the effect. Then select a free bus.
2. Make sure you turn up the amount of send (in db). Holding alt while leftclicking on this circle sets the send level to 0 db wich is good.
3. Open the mixer (Cmd+2). Please see that I here have turned the output off from the stereo guitar track. That way the only output will be the BUS, in your case the AmpTrack bus where all your guitars will pass through. If you want both the original guitar sound AND the Ampfarm effect then just set all outputs on your guitar tracks to Stereo Out, like the AmpF Bus track is set in my picture.
4. Insert your AmpFarm plugin here. I don´t have that plug so I inserted Waves Renes Axe for demo purpose.
Adjust the volume/effect of every guitartrack by turning the circle input shown as 2. in my picture.
I now see that you mentioned Pod Farm, not AmpFarm. But I guess it´s the same trick.
Have fun.

Am trying to record a basic guitar track while I sing along. I don't want my vocals to be recorded at the same time but the internal mic seems to be picking up the vocal and guitar sounds. I tried System Preferences, Sound, Line In - Audio Line Input.

for me it turned out that the jack into the iMac was loose. Once I fiddled with it everything worked okay

Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
Anybody got any ideas?

Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

Why two waveforms/soundwaves Garageband acoustic guitar track - again

I posted this a few weeks back and haven't had a lot of activity and was hoping someone would look at again.
I'm relatively new to Gargeband. For some reason I'm noticing some of the acoustic guitar tracks have two (near duplicate) waveforms, one above the other, yet in other projects it is just the one. I prefer the one. I've looked through all the settings and I can't find out why. I assume it has something to do with mono vs stereo but in puts are the same on all files. I don't play with the settings in general so I don't know why they would be different at all.
I got a response, but it didn't really help much:
Regarding the waveforms, you are right. On waveform is a mono Audio Region, double waveform is a stereo Audio Region. If you record on an Audio Track that is set to a mono input in the Recording Source, it will record a mono Audio Region. If it is set to a stereo input, then it will create a stereo Audio Region.
Please note that the Recording Source is only important for recording part. You can drag stereo and mono Audio Regions around between Tracks because a Track itself is always "two track" aka "stereo" aka "left-right"
Remember that GarageBand distinguishes between three different types of audio files (indicated by their color code) There are a few things to pay attention to:
Joinging MIDI Regions will create just a bigger Region ("container") including all those MIDI Events inside that new Region (container). Joining Audio Regions is different. GarageBand performs a "bounce in place". It is like a mini export, mixing those Regions together. But this is only the first step. Now it takes that newly exported Audio File and re-imports it into the Project.
Now Remember: newly "recorded" Audio Regions are purple, imported Audio Regions are yellow. What happens during the join procedure is that your recorded (purple) Audio Region become imported Audio Region and therefore change their color to yellow.
Remember the difference between the three types of Audio Regions:
screenshot from my book "GarageBand 11 - How it Works"
You have to be aware of that little side effect of the join process. Yellow Audio Regions cannot have a Follow Pitch feature anymore. This is the checkbox in the Track Editor "Follow Tempo & Pitch". Purple Regions can follow both your Project's Tempo and Key (Pitch), similar to Apple Loops. Yellow Regions can follow the Tempo but not the Key of your Project!
So I responded, but did not get an answer:
Ok... for some reason this still isn't making sense. Just yesterday I created a new acoustic project and the opening acoustic track displays one wave (mono), then today, without ANY changes, I do the exact same thing and it displays dual waves. NOTHING has changed. The only areas where I see anything that an relate to this is in Preferences ->Audio/MIDI, where Audio Output is: Built-in and Auido Input is Generic USB (for my microphone). I also see on the main screen on the lower right area it shows Input Sourse: Mono 1 (Generica USB...). So that is it. This is the same for both occurrences where one shows two waves and the other 1 wave. It's just completely random.... there are no changes, no additions or plug-ins, just, "ok, today we're going to show two waves"!!

Creating Multiple Playback Positions on a Track

Hello,
This should be quite simple and i'm trying to emulate a feature on youtube. Basically, i have some very long music tracks, mixes and so forth, that are about an hour long. What is the simplest way to create multiple playback positions in one track? This is sort of like how you can list multiple playback positions on youtube. I'm not sure if this is the same as remembering playback positions, as that is more about playing from when you left off. I'm talking more clickable playback positions for a single music track/mix.
Thanks,

I'm not an expert but I think that is only possible with video files which support chapter markers. I have never heard of anybody doing it in iTunes or with music files. The closest I have heard is iTunes allowing you to set a start and stop time for tracks, but I think that is saved in iTunes data and is not part of the file.

I don't play with the settings in general so I don't know why they would be different at all.
Also, I notice that for some reason when I make certain edits to the double waves tracks, that segment with turn orange (such as joining two segments) and will no longer be purple. I don't really love this either. Not sure if that's a separate issue or related.

Actually I have to correct myself on that one because it is a little bit more complicated under the hood (strange I can't edit my own forum posts anymore, is that feature gone?)
Regarding mono (one channel) and stereo (two channel), a Track in GarageBand has has to be looked at on three stages in the signal flow of the Track.
Stage 1: Input Source of the Track
The input is always determined by the Input Source selection. If you select a one channel Audio Device then the recorded Audio Region will be mono (1-channel, single waveform). If you select a single channel of a multi-channel Audio Device (2 or more channels), then the recorded Audio Region will also be mono. If you select the stereo channel of an Audio Device, then the recorded Audio Region will stereo (2-channel, double waveform)
Stage 2: Playback of the Audio Region
You can place a mono Audio Region or a stereo Audio Region on an Audio Track. But here is the important part. The setting in the Input Source (Track Info window) affects the playback. A mono Region will be played back in mono (the same signal coming out of the left and right speaker. If you have a stereo Audio Region and selected a stereo Input Source, then the Audio Region will be played back in stereo. However, and this is potentially very dangerous, if have a stereo Audio Region and have set the Track to a mono Input Source, then any stereo Audio Region wille be played back in mono. That means it is "summed together", left channel will play through the left-and-right channel of the Track and the right channel of the Audio Region will also play through left-and-right channel of the Track.
Stage 3: Output of the Track
The output of a Track always has two channels (left, right), routed to the stereo master bus. If the Audio Region on a Track "sounds mono" or "sounds stereo" depends on whatever happens in stage 1 and 2. And also don't forget the Master Effects. Adding Master Reverb to a mono signal will "widen" the signal to sound stereo.
Hope that clarifies it

Use MacBook as Amp with e-guitar

Hi,
I'm using Garageband '09 with an iStudio link cable that connects my e-guitar (Epiphone) to the line-in/out on my MacBook pro 13" (mid 2009).
My goal is to use my MacBook as an amp, i.e. get the guitar sound out of my MacBooks speakers with some effects (in real time).
What are the setting I have to apply (I suppose I have to switch the line-in/out to just line-in and I've already read something about turning "monitoring on")?
Thanks for helping!

Yes, you'll have to turn monitoring on - go to the guitar track's info pane by pressing cmd-I. If you're happy with the speakers' sound, fine - I don't think you'll be able to connect to better speakers through the line out since it's impossible to use your in/out jack as input and output simultaneously - but maybe someone else can help you with that.
Your main problem will be that GB has some serious latency - the sound being delayed during the processing. This is hard to control and sometimes makes it almost impossible to keep your timing.

Multiple instances of same component become non-editable

I have created a simple component for authors to add links. They enter anchor text, link destination, title attribute, via textfield. They set the target attribute via a dropdown list, xtype=selection. The issue we run into, is that if the author has entered multiple instances of the same component on a page, the dropdowns become non-editable after they are set the first time. They cannot be edited changed until the page edit view/content finder is closed and reopened.
Scenario:
1. User drag/drops component
2. User makes selection from dropdown xtype=selection
3. User drag/drops same component again to allowed parent
4. User make selection from dropdown xtype=selection in second instance of component
5. User can no longer change the selection in either instance of the component without closing and reopening edit view/content finder.
6. User closes and reopens edit view/content finder.
7. Again, both instances of the dropdown xtype=selection become non-editable after first selection of an option until the edit view/content finder is closed and reopened.
When there is only one instance of the component on the page, the drop downs/xtype=select remain editable at all times.
In addition to this particular scenario, I've had to work around some other issues of multiple instances of a component, where only one instance on a page works at all, the data gets crossed/jumbled between instances of the same component, etc.
My question is first, how might I solve for the scenario fully called out in this question? Secondly, is there some methodology to making multiple instances of the same component track themselves individually, work together on the same page, play nicely with each other?
Any assistance is appreciated.

Using request scope would be a workaround.
I'm looking for view distinct state for the associated component tree for the session (i.e. managed bean state, whether its separate instances of the bean or copies of serialized state I don't care)
My views require conversational-like state handling that I don't want stored on the client.

Adding echo to a guitar track

Hi,
I'm recording guitar in GarabeBand 10 using a Line6 POD. I therefore have no use for the amps simulation that comes by default with a GB guitar track but I have use for the echo and reverb. For now I use a "vocal" track setting.
Is there any way to play with the echo and reverb value? In GB 11 the settings were quite detailed (time, amout, ...) as in GB10 there is only one knob.
Am I missing somethiing?
thanks
Florian

reHello Florian,
well, to be honest, those knobs for echo and reverb suck in GB10!

Garage band vs cakewalk guitar tracks pro ?

I am a guitarist/bassist and wondering how these two applications stack up, is garage band all I will need or will the extra money for guitar tracks be worth it ?

As SD said, there are some very good sounds in GB. I've not used AMPLITUDE or anything like that but GB is good enough for a lot of what I want to do.
Open up GB on the Macbook
Go Track/New
Select REAL INSTRUMENT
Press the blue "i" on the right hand side of the grey "transport" bar, this brings up a new panel on the right hand side of the screen.
Select GUITARS from the displayed menu - that gives you a list of the presets (don't select one just yet)
Then double click DETAILS in the right hand panel to bring up the EFFECTS panel
Click in a box that says NONE and it gives you a list of effects.
Try clicking AMP SIMULATION then moving right and clicking into MANUAL
Choose an AMP then click the PENCIL on the right hand side and that gives you a new panel to change settings
You can then also click into the next NONE box and choose an effect and go though the MANUAL/Pencil process to change effect settings etc...
When you've got a sound you like then save it (bottom right hand corner) as a new sound
Now, just out of interest, go back and select a guitar preset and you'll see the EFFECTS boxes populated with the presets created by Apple. You can also change those and save as a new name.
HTH
Cheers

How do i edit,cut or trim a guitar track?

I dont seem to be able to edit cut delete or drag highlight sections of guitar tracks, can anyone help?
Otherwise might have to go back to 08.
Thanks Malc

first make sure you know the difference between tracks and regions on tracks.
tracks are the 'channels' that regions (of audio or MIDI clips/segments) sit on. the regions are the musical data (auido or MIDI) and the tracks are the way that data is processed. audio regions are processed through effects and amp models and MIDI are processed through 'tone generators' or instruments to turn them into audio and then they are processed like audio regions on audio tracks.
when you select a Track by clicking in the Track Header where the Track Icon, Name, and Mute/Solo/Monitor/Record buttons are, ALL of the regions on that track are selected —UNLESS you have the Cycle Button turned on. If Cycle is on, it will only select the regions within the cycle span. You can still click on any region to select it, but if you paste a copied region it will go on the selected Track at the PlayHead cross hair.
SO make sure you are selecting the right Track and have the PlayHead at the right position for cutting and pasting. If you select the Track Head then all the regions will be selected. Click on a blank space in the Work Area (NOT on a Track Head and NOT on a region) to deselect all regions and then click on the individual region you want to edit.
You do not need to select a region to cut it, only to copy it. to split and paste regions,
select the Track that has the region you want to cut or the one you want to paste the copied region to and use the PlayHead as the location for splitting and pasting.
notice in the picture above that when you select the TrackHeader while Cycle is on it only selects the regions that are at least partially inside the Cycle Area. the middle region starts inside the Cycle Area and thus is selected, however, the last region is wholly outside the Cycle Area and thus is not selected. It can be selected by clicking on it directly.
Also notice this track is locked so region can not be split or deleted or added without unlocking it.
(see menu item Track > Track Header > Show Track Lock)
