Multiple Versions in Same Project File?

Is there a way -- official or otherwise -- to accomplish this in GarageBand? To have different versions of a GB project, all of which draw from the same batch of .aif files as their source material, all saved into a single .band package file?
My specific situation is this: I'm about to use the same batch of about thirty .aif files (totalling a Gig or so in size), to create 7 or 8 different GarageBand projects (each fairly short -- roughly 2-3 minutes in length). Each GB project will utilize different portions of those thirty .aif files. That means if I save each project as a completely separate file (and if I'm understanding GB's file-saving structure correctly), each of those .band packages will contain complete copies of all of those thirty .aif source files. Which is not a major tragedy, but just seems like a waste of 6-7 GBs of space. (I'd also like to be able to archive all the different versions onto a single DVD, sans compression.)
The analogy I'm thinking of is when I've created two or three versions of a song in Logic (each one a different length, say), and I save them all in the same Project Folder (which I want to be playable on other people's systems who won't have the same 3rd party samples I've used). That Project Folder then only needs to contain a single copy of all the samples and Software Instruments which each of the three versions of the song needs to access. This can result in a significant saving of disk space, as well as making the overall project, with all its different versions, much more portable.
Is there any equivalent to this in GarageBand '09?
Thanks,

without knowing very much about what your project is, it might be easiest to just use a couple of tracks, in a single project, for each piece. iow, tracks 1, 2, & 3 contain the bits for 1 exported creation, tracks 4, 5, & 6 the next. then solo the groups of tracks and export.
after that, more the way you seem to want, *and i'd put this on the unsupported, and not the safest idea, list*...
drop all 30 aiffs into a single project's timeline. then copy the regions you want and paste them into new projects. the new projects will only contain references to the original files, not the actual files. this is risky because if the other projects can't, for some reason, find the first project with all the files contained within, they will all become useless.
(let's tag this with: Use at your own peril ... and ... Don't try this at home, kids)

Use a sequence template multiple times in same project

I have created a lower-third animated title and saved it as a sequence as it has sound. What I'm confused about it how I import that sequence and use it multiple times in the same project and change the content of the title for each sequence. If I import the sequence and change the title in one instance, it changes the title of all instances. I would like to use the sequence and be able to change each title. I have even tried copying sequences and renaming them but any editing still seems to affect the parent sequence file.
I know this must be really simple but I'm going round in circles here. Any pointers appreciated.

Take a look at this thread:

Best way to have multiple arrangements in one project file?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out a smart way of having multiple arrangements associated with one project. More importantly, this would allow me to have multiple arrangements associated with the same pool of audio files in one audio window -- without needing to import/export audio.
In DP this is achieved with multiple "sequences". I am aware this feature is not in Logic. However, perhaps there is a way to achieve a similar process?
I guess a not-so-elegant approach would be to simply save a new song; however, if I want to use new song audio files in the old song, i'd have to import the new song audio files to the old song. Not a big deal, I guess.
Thanks,

Thanks for responding Justin & David,
Let me to try to better explain what I am trying to achieve.
(Currently my problem is that I am thinking in the "workflow language" of DP, trying to figure out an analogous "translation" in Logic. For those familiar with DP, I am simply wanting to create a new sequence, within the same "song" file.
Let's say I create a bunch of audio tracks, and compile them into arrangement A. I would like to work on a new idea that may be part of the final piece; So, I would like to have a clean, new arrangement page where I can put some of the previous audio files generated & used in arrangement A, as well as make some new ones. I'll call this arrangement B. So, in other words, arrangement B is a fresh new arrangement page that uses audio files from arrangement A as well as new ones.
If any previous/current DP users know the best way of approximating DP's use of multiple sequences, I'd love to know what you do.
I will explain what I am able to do if I were in DP (for the sake of communicating my problem, but not intended to begin a DP vs. LP thread).
I will use Logic terminology, but DP concept:
In DP, one can have multiple Arrangement windows that share a pool of audio files from one Audio Window. This allows one to try different arrangements, without keeping track of new/old audio files; and without needing importing and exporting them between songs.
I have been reading the Project Manager section in the Logic manual. (By the way, I am not seeking a DP functionality in Logic; I am seeing how one achieves a similar workflow approach in Logic.)
I realize I cannot even explain myself well. Perhaps I should consider the concept of sub-arrangements, and master arrangement. I guess, sub-songs, and work-in-progress master song. The master songs should have all audio files, and sub-songs have whatever audio files were created while working on that particular sub-song. So, with this, whenever I want to go back to master song, I've got to import the audio files from the sub-song.
This may make sense - & may work smoothly. I've got to try it out.
(Btw, David, I captured a screen shot, but I don't know where/how to post it.)
A major thanks to all who have the patience to read so many words for a one word sentence.
Thanks,
Danny

Multiple version of same package being distributed

Hello,
So i have a package ABC being distributed to site 01. When I check the sender log it is showing it is distributing multiple version of ABC. is this possible? Should it not distribute latest version only?
In process sending SWD package ABC version 2 to site 01, current completion ratio = 19 percent.
In process sending SWD package ABC version 3 to site 01, current completion ratio = 1 percent.
In process sending SWD package ABC version 4 to site 01, current completion ratio = 1 percent.

Hi,
Did you edit the package when the content distribution hasn't finished?
I just distributed a package to a DP, then edited the package when it was still in progress. From my sender.log, it continued distributing package version 1 and started to send version 2.
So I think it is the way of SCCM worked.

HT201616 Multiple versions of same song by different artists

iTunes used to have a feature where you can view multiple versions of the same song by different artists. Is there still a way to do this without having to search through the entire iTunes store? That way takes forever and I have to sample tracks that are completely unrelated, but just happen to have the same title. Why in the world would the dumb iTunes geeks take this feature away. Someone please help. Thanks!

Have not been in ITUNES Store in quite awhile but
If it was a function, it would rely on the person or persons who authored the song to insure you did get the same lyrics so to speak.
So, if you didn't know the artist you wanted - or the authors of the song - you would have to sample them until you hit the correct one.
Itunes did grow over time - and if they did have cross reference by authors they may have removed it - on the other hand like searches may have worked because of a limited database at the time - it did seem to start adding songs based on searches that brought up nothing one time - and a month later there they were.
ITUNES has over time added restrictions - for instance at some point - you had to allow this computer on Itunes in order to have itunes synchronize to an IPOD (I purchased about 6 songs on old mac - after migration synchronized fine until they stopped - finally mac allowed more than one device so I could add this one and synchronization started again).
Here are latest restrictions with windows and Mac if you want to burn CD's of your itunes

Can use different sequence settings on the same project file ?

I have 2 camcorders now, one is a AVCHD and the other is HDV tape.
QUESTION 1:
As the former is 1920 x 1080 and HDV is 1440 x 1080, can I use all the clips of 1920 x 1080 in sequence 1 and all the clips of 1440 x 1080 in sequence 2 (both sequence 1 & sequence 2 are in the same .fcp project file) ?
QUESTION 2:
I often seen Tom saying the settings in Easy setup and be the same settings in the sequence settings.
If in Easy Setup, I select AVCHD PAL - 1920 x 1080i50, how do I select the same for sequence settings ?
Thanks

1. A qualified yes because I don't know what sequence 1 and 2 are.
2. The easy setup is your sequence setting. Make a new sequence and it will be in that format.
If you want to mix the media from those it cameras it would probably be better if you can switch the AVCHD camera to shoot 1440x1080; most can do that, and it would then match the media from the HDV camera.

Is there a performance hit to opening an older version of a project file?

We are building an application that uses AERender.exe on the command line to output an .mp4 file.
Due to what licenses we have available, we're creating the project file using CS5.5, but rendering on a server using CS6.
Will there be any noticable performance decrease from opening a CS5.5 project in CS6?

I would think that would depend on the project, plug-ins used and other factors. You will probably have to run some tests and graph the results.

Finder shows multiple versions of same shared computer

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite my finder shows multiple versions of my computer in the "shared" panel of each finder window. So, instead of just saying "Bedroom Computer," it says "Bedroom Computer," "Bedroom Computer (2)" "Bedroom Computer (3)," etc., five times in total. I've tried renaming the computer in the sharing System Preferences panel -- the newly named computer appears in the side panel, but the multi-numbered versions of the old-named computer remain in the list as well. They disappear if I turn off Wi-Fi, but re-appear when I turn wi-fi back on. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of these phantom computers would be greatly appreciated.

The Mac that was causing the issue isn't on the network at the moment so I can't say if restoring all my base stations has helped the initial problem, but now I see something new.
Oh Darn, now I don't seem to be able to insert images.
What I'm seeing is my Mac Pro listed in “Devices” and in “Shared” in my Finder side bar, and no it fails to connect to itself if I try.
Wondering if this could be the new way to represent things when I'm using wi-fi and ethernet connections simultaneously.

Colors and fonts different on 2 different macs,same project file and assets

my customer created a project in DVDSP on their Mac, I'm not sure the specs of the computer, but they do not have a dual-layer burner, so they gave me the project file along with all of the relevant media on an external firewire drive. I hooked up the drive to my Mac, opened up the project file, everything seemed to have linked up. After checking all of the buttons in simulator mode, I proceeded to do a "Build" successfully. Next I chose the layer break point, luckily there was one as an option, and did the Format/Burn. I gave the disk to the customer and they say that the colors are way off, and even some of the fonts. Now that the customer has the drive back, I asked them to do the "Build" on their computer and check the newly created Video TS folder in Mac's DVD player, they did so, and everything is now "good". I can kind of understand why fonts might be a problem, but why the colors? thanks for any help!

one reason why this happens is when the colour management settings in Colour Sync and the display profile you are using are different to your clients

Multiple versions of same computer listed under shared (with a number added)

Hi,
This is not Yosemite specific as I found numerous posts from earlier systems but no solution. I have 4 macs connected to this specific network. For whatever reason after running for months with no issue the iMac is now listed multiple times and a number is added. The previous computers do not work (as shortcuts). When reading up on the problem, this should only happen if there are numerous macs with the same name on the same network. This is not the case the name listed under system prefs -> Sharing is unique. I tried to delete the extra number and restart the system but it never seems to stick. Looking into the Bonjour network I can find these same references. I assume the iMac thinks there is another computer with the same name and thus adds another system. This also carries over to the other computers as it lists the imac multiple times. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Can I delete the bonjour/apple file protocol prefs and as such delete all the systems?
I have turned smb/afp on/off I have renamed the system, restarted it and then going back to the old name to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas,
Philly

There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.
9. See also this support article.

Different java versions in same project

Hi
Has anyone used 2 different versions of java in same
J2EE project.
I have a web project where i have a Applet which
displays data in graphs etc, this applet uses applet -
servlet communication to connect to database,
What i want to try to do is develop all the servlets
and code running on application server using
J2SDK1.4.2 and the applet using J2sdk1.5 (5.0).
I cannot use java 1.5 for server side as i am using
app server which does not support it, but i want to
use java 1.5 to get latest abilities in Swing.
I see a potential problem with class compiled in
different versions,
I populate data in java class and send this class to
applet which reads data from these classes and do the
plotting
Any suggestions
Ashish

How are the applets and servlets to communicate? If they use html/xhtml, etc, there should be no problem. If you're serializing objects, then yes, there is a potential for a problem.

Recording both PAL and NTSC versions of same project

I am importing a series of movies to iMovie in PAL format. I understand that it automatically sets the format. What steps should I follow to ensure that I can have both versions of the same footage correctly (PAL and NTSC)? On my first attempt to record on iDVD I had not changed the setting to PAL (even though iMovie project is PAL). A warning message showed that there were conflicting formats but I recorded the DVD and now it works on my NTSC TV and DVD. Then I changed the iDVD setting to PAL and made another copy. When I check the DVD's under Window>Movie Info (Quicktime) they seem to be in the correct format. It happened by accident but I understand that you should export your movie from iMovie in the new converted format in order to record a DVD in such format. I accidentally bypassed that step and I wonder if the quality has been lowered. Has anyone experienced this also? Should I do the same to save me an extra step? Thanks for feedback on this.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The conversion from PAL to NTSC (or NTSC to PAL) is a non-trival task.
In the case of PAL to NTSC, not only must the frame size be changed from 720x576 pixels to 720x480 pixels (fairly easy resizing), but the frame rate must be changed from 25 frames/second to 29.97 frames/sec (this frame rate change is NOT easy). iDVD/QuickTime seem to simply duplicate an occasional frame to go from 25 to 29.97 fps (or delete an occasional frame going from 29.97 to 25 fps) - this technique can cause the converted movie to be rather jerky.
You will probably get a better conversion use JES Deinterlacer at http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html as mentioned by Bengt
