I posted this in iweb and thought maybe that was the wrong place. I opened garage band...found a simple piano loop...added it to timeline thing...made it loop for about 30 seconds by draging it. I saved it as the small option for sharing and it ends up around 9 megs. How can an itunes song be 2-3 and a simple 30 second loop 9? How can I make it smaller for iweb and how do I export or put it on my page properly? Mainly how to make it smaller??? I have never used garage band befor, am I missing a step?
Thanks and sorry for the double post!!!I asume you used GB3's Share > Send Song to iTunes. Then, under iTunes, if you're using AIFF format (as I do), it's going to be bigger than an MP3 or AAFC file. Forgive me if this is a "duh," but if you go into Preferences > Advanced and change AIFF to MP3 or AAC encoding, you can then Command-click to convert the track into a dupe with the smaller format.
Those formats are pretty universal. I've streamed as well as put them in my Public iDisk folder in my old Homepage site. And while I haven't gotten to my iWeb version...
You might want to check out, in GB3, the feature under File > Save As > Compact Project. There you can select 64, 128 or 192 kbps AAC. You may/not need to also select Archive in the same screen. I haven't used this yet or read about it - someone else would know better - but it seems to me that it's (not a compression tool but) a streaming buffer optimizer.
Hope this helps. I'll want to visit back here myself, soon as I get cranking on my own stuff. -
Why cannot I place a marker on a track?
Hello to all! While using GB [6.0.5] I tried placing a marker on a music track and found that under the 'edit' drop down menu, the option of placing a marker [P] was greyed out...inactive. Can anyone let me know how I can place a marker on a track?
Thanks in advance.
Dr. SomannaHello Leonie, glad to see your reply. I have not done any podcast so far [actually have no idea also of what it is!]. I am currently using GB to do these things:
1] making music compositions with apple loops which are imported into my FCPX projects via iTunes. These music clips are mostly used for background music purposes.
2] I have made 5 audio albums so far and am making them into videos. Most of my songs are in my mother tongue viz. Telugu. I am now able to make versions of my songs in different languages in Garage band itself. After singing the song using my music track, I export it to FCPX via iTunes and bring out a different language version of the video. For this need of mine, I had need to place a marker on a music track to indicate the place where the vocal has to be sung, and it was here that I found that I was unable to place a marker.
So, am I to understand that one can use a marker in GB only when you are doing a podcast? -

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

i donwloaded new updates for my garage band with instruments (which was about 1.2gb) . When I started my email a message popped up that my email is not supported with the version of the email - I was confused and went into applications and tried using the "mail.app" and then I lost my "Mail" app on my dock and now there's no way for me to get my emails or find the app to load back on my dock. Could someone please help me??
If your Mail app is no longer inside your Applications folder, use Spotlight to locate the application. Once you find it, place the application back inside the Applications folder. Then drag the original Mail app to the dock & let go. The Mail app should now appear in the Dock.

I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1. Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device? My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.
Hi,
If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps. -
While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:( -
Can anyone tell me how to slow down a commercial track in Garage band 10.00 I was able to do this in the earlier version of Garage Band quite easily and it is a good tool for being able to teach new dances, but I find I am unable to do it in the new version, which has just been updated. I would be grateful for any help.
Just found it.
Select your track with song imported from iTunes, open the Track Editor window, and in the head of the track editor and press the "Flex" marker. Make sure "Enable Flex" is set,
Then change the tempo of your project. -
My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?
Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting. -
Where can I get additional loops for garage band
I have been limited in the groves in the drum beats and grooves that came with Garage Band 11, I would like to add addional loops.
How does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB
jojoguitarHow does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB
The best solution for additional GarageBand loops would be to get the JamPacks, i.e. JamPack "Remix Tools" and "Rhythm Section". These will give you plenty of drum beats and grooves.
The Jam Packs have been discontinued, but you get them all, when you buy Mainstage 2 at the AppStore for a moderate fee. Mainstage 2 will install all Jam Packs and additional instruments in the same place where GarageBand and Logic loops and instruments are installed, so you can use them seemlessly from GarageBand as well. And the price for MainStage 2 with all JamPacks included is as far less than the price for a single JamPack used to be.
Alternately search the Bullets & Bones FAQ for free loops http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/PlugInsDrumLoops.html

Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band
Ok, so this is really a fundamental
question. It concerns editing technique.
In analog mixing, the editor put
the sounds to be saved in the right
places on each of several tracks --
narration, sound effects, lip sync,
music, etc. The tracks were then
all locked together and the mixer
adjusted the volumes to either save
or reject audio information.
A blank master received the information
and that was your final product,
in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
the video.
My question, then, is, how do you
do it in digital multitrack such as
Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
or do you simple erase unwanted
sound, or what exactly do you do,
in post production? If you are going
to do a voice over, then you have to
do a mix at some point, not just a
cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks,
EdWow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really! -
How to contact Apple for Garage Band iPad bugs?
I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find a place to report Garage Band bugs or contact Apple support for Garage Band iPad. I wanted to notify Apple of the problem that bluetooth audio output in Garage Band does not work. (Yes I am aware of the latency, however, this would still appear to be a bug in Garage Band if a user has explicitly set audio output to bluetooth. Not all applications fo Garage Band require zero latency.)

wswilkinson ... sorry for the slow get back, my dance card has been full.
I've used 3rd party loops or samples. Myself I don't care for them because for me they seem to "lead" me in a direction. The loops direction .... maybe not how I started the song. So I haven't saved many loops into GB. When I did I had just "read how to" . ... then fumbled through it. So I can find those by searching for the names of them.
Even if I haven't saved many I think I understand how GB goes things.... but could be wrong.
GB has dozens & dozens of loops. Broken up in many groups. Country , Rock , World , yada yada .... Lots !! If you hit say "World" you'll find dozens of loops of ALL types. Drums, horns , keyboards , etc. But they are all mixed together.... if you just hit "World". So I have to test drive most sounds to hear what they are if I don't know what they are. GB breaks "World into different sounds too .... Bass , etc if you hit those. How did they get that way is what you want to .... Did GB just do it ?? Heck if I know .... One of the best places on GB info is
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/BBPages/Stuph/MusicianStuph.html so check here and please lets us know what you find out.
My thought is make a folder like I said ... named what you want . "My Loops" ( meaning they didn't come with GB " ) Break everything up into sub folders ... which I guess you may save/add to as you go a long. When you're done add that to GB's loops. Then look to see if "your" loops have been mixed into GB with you "only" adding the "My Loops" folder with it Sub groups .. You can always delete something if it doesn't work as you wish ... "ponder things " and try again.
Never have fear to jack around with things !! It's not screwed your life up yet ... Close GB & DON'T Save It if you're not happy ...
Peace & Good luck -
