My recordings sound so different when exported to iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

Google's been useless in finding answers.
I made a couple songs. They sound perfect on Garageband. After exporting, the songs sound awfully mixed on iTunes. I mean, awful. I've tried messing with iTunes EQ, Garageband visual EQ, Garageband compression (not that I fully understand compression), the auto compression when exporting, and good ol fashioned volume control. Nothing changes for the better but it always sounds correct on Garageband and god awful otherwise.
I have a chord that plugs in from my mac to my instruments so I use good mix of both real instruments and software instruments if that makes any difference.
On a side note, the recordings only sound good on my personal headphones. Heaven forbid I use a car stereo or any sort of speakers.
If anything, what can I do to remedy this problem?
Many thanks for any help you can give.

There is a fix coming out soon for this. In the mean time go to settings and put the date forward one year. then try. once you have access then put the date back.
hope it helps

  • Exporting to MIDI - What am I doing wrong?ck

    Hello folks,
    I am making really good progress in learning this fantastic software. I have a problem for which I have not found a solution yet. When I export to MIDI, playback sounds like a piano not Bass. The melody works fine while in the Logic environment and when exported in other formats. What can I do to fix that?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Print to Video has sound, but just black on camera. What am I doing wrong?

    The video shows up on the Mac, but only sound shows up on the camera when I try to print to video. What's going on?

    This can happen occasionally and I have never been able to pin down exactly what the problem is.
    Try switching FCE off and on, disconnecting and reconnecting the camera etc. and keep your fingers crossed !

  • The bookmarks created on my new MacBook are showing on my wife's MacBook. We are using two different Apple ID's. What are we doing wrong?

    My wife has had her MacBook for about a year. She was originally using Apple ID we can call #1. She later created and began using Apple ID #2. I just got a MacBook and began using Apple ID #1. When I set up my bookmarks in Safari,what I thought were her old bookmarks were there. When I deleted them, while we were on two separate Apple IDs, I deleted hers. (Fortunately, I backed them up first.) Now when I add bookmarks they show on her separate Apple ID. I checked and it seems that she is signed out and the old ID has even been deleted as an option on her Mac. Because of my work we need to keep these things separate. What are we missing?

    In System Preferences>iCloud if you click Account Details do you each see your own unique Apple ID?

  • No sound in movie when exported from iMovie

    I have made movie in imovie, exported it to garageband to add music then when i export it to idvd there is no music but there is the video sound, can you tell me what i am doing wrong!
    thank you

    Welcome to the forums, Alison.
    I'm not a GarageBand user, but couldn't you export the GB audio tracks as a Quicktime file, and then import that audio track into iMovie? If it's combined in iMovie, then it should import into iDVD without a conceptual hitch.

  • II am exporting a song to disc.  The mix down is playing back in a different key.  What am I doing wrong, or how do I get Garage bane to mix down in the key the song in which the song is recorded?

    I am exporting a song to disc.  The mix down is playing back in a different key.  What am I doing wrong, or how do I get Garage bane to mix down in the key the song in which the song is recorded?

    Three basic steps to get you started:
    You set the tempo and Rhythm when creating your project:
    Launch GarageBand and and select "New Project" from the panel: Pick a suitable template, for example "Song Writing":
    Then, in the next panel that opens "New Project from Template" select a folder and a name to store the project and set the basic parameters: Song key, tempo, signature; for example for a song in C-major, 4/4, 100 beats per minute set it like this.
    If you later want to speed up the song or slow it down, use the LED display at the bottom of the window. Click on the leftmost icon to change it to show the metronom for  "Project View" like this. Then you can change the basic settings:
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. The GarageBand Help - accessible from the main menu bar "Help > GarageBand Help" or ⌘? is quite good and should get you started easily.

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

  • I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
    If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

  • Everything I own (iPad, iPhone, mac) is set up on wi-fi.  when i bring my work computer home (dell laptop), I cannot get it to keep the connection in a different room. All my other devices work.... does anybody know what i am doing wrong? please help!

    Everything I own (iPad, iPhone, mac) is set up on wi-fi.  when i bring my work computer home (dell laptop), I cannot get it to keep the connection in a different room. All my other devices work.... does anybody know what i am doing wrong? please help!

    Windows drivers for Intel wireless cards are known problematic.. If you have plenty of signal and it still cannot keep or hold the connection the issue can simply be the type of wireless.
    Another problem is using names that windows does not easily handle.
    eg If you set the TC using apple names, like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule wireless24ad12
    Then to windows this is too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal character.
    Change all names on the TC to suit windows. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Also security must be suitable.. I have no idea how old or what OS your dell is, but if you still have issues.. pull off the security on the TC for a test.. if the computer suddenly works, it is not compatible with WPA2 AES. Make sure you also use a password that is mix upper and lower case plus numbers.. avoid special characters and make it 10-20 characters long say.. it is not required to be more than that unless you are paranoid.

  • B size) to mail or thumb drive the file is exported to about 560 KB not the original 5.6 MB, what am I doing wrong? thanks

    Currently using Aperture ver 3.1.1, when exporting files (5.6 MB size) to email or to thumb drive the file received by email recipent is about 560KB and worthless in size to them.  What am I doing wrong?  thanks
    Hutch

    I think, what Kirby meant, is this:
    When you are exporting your images with "File > Share < Email", you should see a pop up menu in the upper right corner of the window that lets you chose the file size:
    What are your settings there? You should pick "Actual size", if the Mail server will let you send 5 MB files. Quite often the limit is 2 or 3 MB.
    Is "Mail.app" the Mils client you are usimng, or are using a different mailer?
