Newbie trying to get tracks to mp3 without clipping

Hi Folks, I have imported a bunch of track from a HDD recorder (as wav files) into Garageband. It's a rock band setup - drums, bass, guitar etc. I can't get the drums or bass anywhere near loud enough without clipping. If you look at the wave form of the signal it's not above 0 or even close. I tried turning off all compression I was using and all other effects and it still sounds like crap. I can get a decent mix in GB but when I try to export either as MP3 or .aif I have no volume or I have clipping. I have tried both Normalizing and not.
Please, any thoughts are most welcome. Thanks!

  • I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

    I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

    I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
    First try this:
    With iTunes closed.
    Press the WinLogoKey+R
    Type in %appdata% and press return
    Double click on Apple Computer
    Double click on iTunes
    Delete the file CD Info.cidb
    Start iTunes and try again.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
    If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
    Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
    Or it might not be the preference files after all...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Newbie: Trying to get data  from Code Behind file to HTML file.

    Greetings,
    I am trying to use the opener link adaptive tag to open a specific page. I have the Object ID, and classID as variables in my class in my class file, but I do not know how to get that data into the opener link which is on the html page.
    Should I be using session variables? If so how, I am a newbie.
    Does anyone know how?
    Thanks.

    Kinda depends on your flavor/need/preference. I've done it...
    * Using session variables and just writing to the page in script blocks. Not preferred in .NET-land, but definitely more of the fast/traditional ASP style. Use sparingly and with caution. Be really careful about VS.NET totally destroying your tags. It seems to love doing that (as an aside - HUGE thank-yous to the BEA engineers who altered the tags to consistenly use lower case. Really. I can't thank you enough. :) )
    * Using label controls and then just populating the label with the formatted adaptive tag (this can work well)
    * One of our guys did a really simple/elegant server control that takes arguments for the objectid, classid, etc. Nice for creating things repeatedly server-side and gets you by the HTML, quotes, etc. all over the place. Nice as it also consolidates the tag in a single place you can alter once.
    For session variables, you'd just do something like...
    <%
    '//in your code-behind
    Session("myClassID") = 18
    Session("myObjectID") = 12345
    %>
    <!-- in your aspx file -->
    <pt:standard.openerlink xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/' pt:objectid='<%=Session("myObjectID")%>' pt:classid='<%=Session("myClassID")%>' pt:mode='2' target='myWindow' onclick=window.top.open('','myWindow','height=800,width=700,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no, location=no');>Adaptive Tags Made This Easy - Click to Open My Awesome Document</pt:standard.openerlink>
    That help?
    Personal style, I would try to avoid using session, etc. directly on your ASPX file. I'd go with writing out the HTML through labels, data lists, etc. in your code-behind.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • Newbie trying to get a flash ad swf to loop

    Hello,
    I am a designer trying my hand at flash animated ads for the first time and can't do what is probably the simplest function imaginable. There is a tile ad on ingoodfaithwyoming.com toward the bottom of every page. It's a simple ad but I cannot export the swf so it loops. I tried creating a new layer and putting in a go to and play (1) on the last frame but it hasn't helped. I asked a buddy who is used to cs3 and he said it is in the publish settings, I am on cs4 and can find no such setting except in the html side, which does me no good as I have to use swf for the site's system. Please help.

    Hahahaha, so I tried the go to and play 1, uploaded it and so no change which is when I came here... However I never cleared teh cache for the site. Once I cleared that out it was working correctly. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

  • Mac Newbie trying to get a handle on photoshop pull downs

    I am fairly new to osx and really love the design of photoshop with one exception: layer pull downs.  When I used photoshop on a pc I could select the layer mode and then up or down arrow key to preview how a  layer mode would look.  I could just up arrow or down arrow and see what different looks each layer mode would cause.  On the mac, I find that I  have to click and drag every time.  Is there a way to get the arrow keys to work?  I found that after a days work my arm was actually sore from needing to constantly click and drag.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    if i'm not mistaken, on the mac the drop-downs don't "stick"
    They most certainly do, at least on my machine.  I double checked before posting.  The up/down arrows work to move through the blending modes, but you don't get previews as you cycle through them.

  • Total newbie trying to get started.

    I have a domain name and am going to sign up with a web
    hosting company. If I purchase Contribute, can I use it to design a
    new web site or is Contribute only used to edit existing web pages?
    TIA

    Contribute can only be used to edit a site that's already
    built. It can
    allow you to create new pages at an existing site, but it's
    not possible to
    create pages from scratch and build a new site. If you're
    looking for
    something easy you might look at NetObjects Fusion for
    Windows or Freeway
    for the Mac.

  • ITunes 11.4.0.18 will not get track names for imported mp3 albums.

    I'm new to Apple (Windows 7 i7 Sandy Bridge processor 16GB ram) and recently got an iPod touch 5g 64GB and I am trying to figure out iTunes.  I have GB's of albums that I have collected over the years in mp3 format.  When I imported them to iTunes via...File>Add Folder to Library...It imported all of my albums, but, almost NONE of the tracks are in order and they are "scattered" for lack of a better word.  Some are with the albums they are supposed to be with, but MOST made their own names and albums.  Getting the tracks with the albums I fixed by doing it manually.  Getting the tracks in order in the albums...HELP.  I tried to "Get Track Names", but iTunes comes back with "iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes.  To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes."????  I'm assuming that iTunes will only get the track names if they are imported from CD only and not mp3?  If I have to manually enter all of the information in myself....God help me...just leave it unorganized???

    When iTunes imports a CD it records the information used to look up the album in the Gracenotes database. When you add your tracks into a different library that data is no longer available. See Grouping tracks into albums for some tips on organizing iTunes content.

  • How can I get a 320kbps mp3 using "share to iTunes" without normalizing in Logic Pro X?

    After importing and editing an mp3 file in Logic Pro X, I want to simply "share to iTunes" and get a 320kbps mp3 without normalization but I can't figure out how to do this without normalizing.  With Garageband, it's simple; but with Logic Pro X, I can't figure it out.

    I see, I am sticking with Logic 9 for the time being. I thought Logic X has a share to iTunes feature, are you saying the format you want to use isn't available there? Also, In Logic-9, Bounce has the feature "Add to iTunes Library" this allows 320kbps Mp3 files with or without normalization sent to the iTunes library. Have you opened the Bounce dialog to check it out?
    Also note that iTunes has several settings that affect sound of audio, you want those off is you want to hear audio as it actually is.
    iTunes Preferences/Playback  Sound Enhancer and Sound Check should be disabled.

    hiya. thanks for your suggestion. i just tried it and it worked so thanks XD
    i wish apple would make an "exclude" option though tbh.
    i have some others called ... in the name "...soundtrack" (one word) or "hidden track" and "teaching track" !
    i've got another one literally called "track by track walk through" lol
    now im wishing there was just an option to select these oddballs and exclude them individually.
    i cant come up with rules for every single possibility, but i cannnn eliminate those odd songs when i see them if there was an exclude option.
    but thanks anyway xx

  • HT1473 Had to "repair" Itunes today after error messages would not let me open. I can no longer sync my phone to computer without deleting all of the contect on my phone. I don't want to do that! I am trying to get the music from my Iphone to my Itunes li

    Little background:
    Went to open Itunes, error message told me I was missing files and I was unable to open. I deleted Itunes and re-downloaded and received same message. I then "repaired" Itunes from my "unistall/change" program menu. The error message then changed to being "unable to read my library of music." So I fixed that by following some other forum directions (Went to My Computer/Music/Itunes then dragged the most recent Itunes Library selection to my desktop, then opened the folder under music titled "Previous Itunes library" and moved that file into that folder. Thankfully that worked... sort of... I have some music in my library. None of the music from my super old Limewire library, or any recent music from my phone. All of which was in my library last night. Not to mention the HOURS of cd's I burned to Itunes over the entire weekend. Hundreds (at least) of songs are missing.
    So I attempted to sync my phone and was told it would delete all of the files in my phone to replace with files from my computer. Which is NOT what I want to happen. Trying to get music FROM my phone to my computer.
    Can someone please help me simply sync my phone to my computer? And then somehow get the music from my Limewire library to my Itunes library? I know I may not get the burned music back... But that sure would be amazing.
    I am at a loss. Apple won't help unless I pay them... So hopefully this looks familiar to someone!
    Thanks,
    Katie

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
