Mute the backing track during auto punch rehearsal

Hi
How do I mute the backing track during auto punch rehearsal?
While I'm rehearsing the punch-in I only want to hear the audio before and after the 'auto punch-in', but not during the punch-in itself - i.e. I want the punch-in region to be silent while I'm rehearsing.
Can you help?
regards
Sambodhi Prem

Hi Sambodhi Prem
You could simply makes two cuts on the audio region you are using as your backing track and press M to mute the middle region.

guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

I cant hear the backing track when I plug in the midi mic to record vocals?

Vocal backing track stop playing when the cycle button is pressed.

I am running the vocal backing track in Mainstage2. I have various markers throughout the backing track, however, when I press the cycle button, the backing track stop playing and reverts to the start of the track. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hello,
Will try to explain how I understand the way a Question slide works:
on the timeline you see a pausing point, this will be used twice
when the user clicks on the Submit button, playhead is not released but the Success/Failure captions pop up, but you cannot control anything else such like stopping the audio
when the user presses Y or clicks on the slide, the playhead is released, the Success/Failure actions are executed and (eventually - unless you changed navigation by those actions) the user is navigated to the next slide
First thing you can change is the pausing point of the question slide, but once an audio clip started playing, this will continue and thus not solve your problem.
It is only in that second step that you can do more customising by changing the Success/Failure actions, perhaps to an advanced action.
Are you using this default behavior? And the audio is attached to what: to the slide or to the text captions for the questions and to the Success/Failure captions for the answers?
I think the solution will be to skip the first step, by deleting the Success/Failure captions. When clicking on the Submit button in that situation, the Success/Failure actions will be executed immediately (and the playhead will be released). Attach the audio for the questions to an invisible object (rectangle without fill or stroke), that you hide with the advanced actions to be triggered by Success/Failure and show custom Text Captions for Success/Failure with audio attached to them. Because the playhead is now released, you will either have to time correctly so that the user will have to listen to the audio totally or to insert a static button widget that pauses the slide. But here I'm a bit stuck because I do not know which version of CP you are using, please?
I blogged about using audio objects a while ago, but did not offer detailed explanations because no one asked for it until now. Have a look:

Backing tracks - mixing in GB

Hi all. I am playing in a duo using backing tracks. We use mostly only the drum & bass tracks for the songs we do, just to try to replicate a 'band' sound. They were all purchased from the same place yet, the volume, bass and general dynamics of the different tracks varies considerably.
What i've done with the tracks up to this point is to create a stereo mp3 using Garageband. i import a click only and then the audio without the click. I then pan the click track left and the music right so that 1 side of the track is click and the other is the 'music'. I then export the mp3 to itunes and create my play lists from there - the backing tracks are all played from my ipad into the pa. Oh yeah, click goes to in ears, music goes to FOH through 2 different channels in the mixer.
The difference is so dramatic that during the gigs i have to adjust the output level to accommodate the different levels of the various tracks.
I believe the issue stems from the varying levels (and quality) of the backing tracks i'm using, so i really need to be able to mix them in GB so they are consistent
So, what i was wondering is how could i go back through all the tracks and adjust the output levels so they are all the same - where am i looking to see what level they are (not just trusting my ear). Can i do it in Garageband. What is the best way to do it. Or maybe it's less about levels and perhaps using a filter or eq to take some bass out, or a compressor or something.
Really looking forward to hearing any tips you can offer.

Do you mean having every one of the tracks sitting in GB together 'side by side' so i can compare . Or do you mean just as i export the individual tracks to itunes.
If i do recognise a track as being louder than the other, what would be the best way to adjust. Should i just create a volume envelope on the track and adjust either up or down. How can i see what dB the track is playing at (this is what i meant about not only trusting my ears) - my point here is that the mix on my computer monitors is way different to hearing the track through my pa, so i was hoping to be as precise as possible.
The way I suggest is using a GarageBand Project more like a mastering Tool.
Lets say you have 5 Songs (5 audio files) you want to prepare for your set
Create 5 Audio Tracks in GarageBandand and drag audio file 1 on Track1, audio file 2 on Track 2, etc
All Tracks are set their Volume at 0dB
Now you play your Project but listen to each Track at a time. You do that with the Solo function
About the Solo button. Clicking on a Solo Button will turn solo that Track and mute all the other Track. The problem is that you have to unsolo one Track and solo the next Track. But there is a hidden Key Command. Hold the option key down while clicking the Solo button. THis will solo that Track and un-solo any other Track.
Now when you listen to the different Songs, lower the Volume on those Songs that sounds too loud compared to the other. You can do the adjustment with the Volume SLider on the Track Header for each Track. I prefer to write it in Automation even if it is only ony one line (it still need two Control Points) to avoid that you move the SLider on the Track Header by accident without noticing it.
I don't go into compressor and limiting because that is a tutorial all by itself.
You are right about the listening environment. That is always an issue when mixing/mastering. There is a thing called "Isophones" or Fletcher-Munson Curves that shows the problem with perceived loudness. The short answer is, listen as loud as possible on good speakers to imitate the PA situation.
You are trusting your ears to judge the loudness but you are right, you have to keep an eye one the meter to judge the level. Unfortunately, GarageBand doesn't provide proper metering but you can use the Limiter in the Master Track Smart Controls.

Please be careful with your panning. The Pan Control in GarageBand is a balance control not a "real" stereo pan...
I don't quite understand sorry. To create my mp3's, I have imported 2 tracks into GB, a click track, and also imported an audio track, so i have 2 tracks within GB. I then pan the click track left, and the audio right, then export. If i then import that mixed down track into GB i see a stereo track. If i play it through headphones i hear only click left & music right. Is that not stereo - I am new to this if you can't tell.
Here is an example. Let's say you have an old Beatles song were the drums are panned to one side (i.e. left) and the guitars are panned to the other side. If you would bring that stereo audio file into GarageBand and pan it extremely to the right, you would not hear the drums anymore.
You need two stage. If your audio file is stereo, then you have to make it mono first and then pan it to one side. This way, you have the drums and the guitars together. So make sure that the song you import is mono before you do the hard panning or get a Plugin that summs the stereo signal to mono first.
Of course, the song that you mix at the end (click left, song right) is stereo again.

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

Backing Tracks for Tenor Saxophone

Dear friends from Apple Communities.
I am looking for Backing Tracks of songs for Tenor Saxophone.
Yesterday, I was watching some tenor saxophone soloist in the YouTube, and after a presentation from one saxophonist, at the end of the song, he had wrote that the Backing Track was purchased from "iTunes", but didn't gave more information about.
I tried to find Backing Tracks in iTunes, but I didn't have success; nothing have appeared.
Then, if someone knows anything about my search, please, let me know, once I need to have these backing tracks for play my tenor sax along with these songs. I will appreciate some comments about.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Kyoto2014

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the good tip.
Indeed the site it's very nice about karaoke, but as the Tenor Saxophone plays with a particular key in the instrument (Bb), any song needs to be played with this same key. For example, the piano, guitar, etc. plays in the key C, the Alto Saxophone plays in the key Eb, and so on.
Then, there are many beautiful songs in the site that you gave me, but unfortunately none specific to tenor sax.
Maybe, using a good time from me, I could open some song that I have liked, and I should try to play along with this song, in order to see if the backing track would has the same key as my tenor sax.
However, I really have appreciated your concern and your time to write to me giving me a way to find some backing track for my sax.
Again thanks so much for your help. The World forsooth, needs people like you and the friend "hhgttg27" that always giving a time for help others.
Cheers,
Kyoto

Aperture - when you have saved a multi-media slideshow and you export it how do you make sure the audio track retains the volume drops that you programme in? I have video clips with audio, which when they play in the slideshow, I fade the audio (music)?

Aperture - Sorry I'm new to this so this might be a bit long! I put together an aperture slideshow with a backing music track and some video interspersed with photos. When I exported it to put on you tube the audio backing track had not saved the fades that I had programmed when the video clips played. The video clips had audio on them that I set at one volume whilst fading the backing track. these fades didn't save on the exported version. Any suggestions please? Regards, Maxjackpete

Backing Tracks - Where can I find them...

Just getting into recording guitar on computer. I have Logic Pro 9.
What I want to do is simply find backing tracks for songs I like and play along.
For example, where can I find bass and drum tracks for lets say some Godsmack songs that I can use with in Logic?
I simply want to play along with whatever Im in the mood for and record....
I know this is a noob question, but I'm becoming really aggravated trying to find out HOW to do this and WHERE I can find the "backing tracks"....
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You have Logic. You need midi files you can edit, not karaoke mp3s. Sure, there are millions of free midi files on the web, but most of them are really bad and will require you to spend a lot of time editing. At least you'll get good at editing midi information. If you don't mind spending a few dollars to get excellent files try: http://www.hittrax.com.au/
I also recommend that you get Band-in-a-Box from PG Music. It writes cheesy midi files that you can import to Logic and make sound good. Great for jamming and practicing.

Backing Track Skipping, Help needed

I have just put a slideshow together on iDVD using photos form iPhoto. I'm really impressed with the Apples ability to handle Media content. I have experienced one issue with the backing music to the slideshow. Once I have burned the DVD the backing track has intermittent pauses throughout the entire track. Could anyone advise how to sort the problem out!
Cheers

Hi Matt:
It almost sounds like the DVD was burned at a high speed.
Can you try saving the project as a disk image? Then burn it in the Disk Utility.
Get DVD-R 4x or 8x (I prefer Verbatim) and tell the disk utility to burn at 1X.

Vocals won't play, backing track will - HELP!

My iPod mini plays perfectly well through the computer but when I try to listen thro earphones I can only hear the backing track and backing vocals (like a karaoke version!). This is not an earphone issue as I have tried different earphones. Can anyone help?

good news indeed!
keep an eye on it though. i'm no expert on the issue, but it can be caused by a dodgy jack connection. (i've seen a case of PC speakers being hit by it too.) so if it happens again, the repair option might be worth investigating.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,
ATR

I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
Thanks

Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
