Podcast export in Garage Band 10.0.3

Hi out there -
I have used older versions of Garage Band and even iMovie in the past - meaning over 4 or 5 years ago - to do audio podcasts for my site. These are generally 30 min. in length average. I am only occasionally doing this now as others have picked it up. I only have Garage Band on my mac, and find that the newer version is harder for me to figure out in exporting smaller files. What I am doing is taking a pre-recorded audio file, editing it for volume consistency and cutting out a few things, and then exporting so I can upload to my site. The problem with GB is the file sizes are large - in the neighborhood of 20 MB. I want them to be about 10 if possible. With older GB and iTunes I could achieve this, but now it seems I cannot get smaller than about 15 MB or so. Could anyone help me out here? I am probably doing something very off here, and I am open to whatever in order to fix it, including ditching GB and getting something else altogether.
Thanks -
Craig

The problem with GB is the file sizes are large - in the neighborhood of 20 MB. I want them to be about 10 if possible.
Have you tried all options in the "Share > Export Song to Disk" panel? You can only reduce the file size by using lower quality settings.
With older GB and iTunes I could achieve this,
Do you still have your older GarageBand version installed? GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5 is working well with Yosemite, and the GarageBand 10 installer does not uninstall GarageBand '11. You could still use it for your podcasts.

IWeb not recognizing podcast exported from Garage band

I've been sending my podcasts to iWeb for over a year. I used to host my site on MobileMe but switched to a WordPress site through GoDaddy last year. Regardless, I've always continued to send my podcast to the old iWeb site and pinged iTunes from there. Have had no issues doing so.
When the podcast exports, iWeb has always prompted me/asked me which "blog" page I want to use for the new podcast. (Naturally, I chose my "podcast" page as the old site had multiple pages). Now, iWeb is not prompting that option, essentially not acknowledging that there is new content being exported in.
Any ideas where the disconnect might be? I've redone the share/send podcast to iWeb process from GarageBand 5 times with no success.

Did you ever figure out the answer? I am having the same problem.

Importing and exporting to garage band

I am trying to import some spoken word in garageband, do some minor editing, and then burn a cd. I made the recording on both an iPod and a Marantz digital recorder. I imported them via iTunes. When played in Garageband, they sounded like micky mouse on helium. When played through itunes or the finder they sounded great. When I tried to burn them to a cd via itunes, the program just hung saying checking media repeatedly. Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.
Henry

Hi, Henry,
The problem is that they are Sampled at a higher rate than GarageBand uses (and higher than CD's are recorded at).
Follow Hang's instructions. They work.

Final cut pro x import music garage band

I can't import music from garage band.

I guess I didn't export FROM garage band. I didn't see a way to do that.
but i did figure out what i was doing wrong. i was trying to import from the Import media from top left edit drop down menu - instead of clicking the music icon in the bar on lower right.
also, i was trying to drag it into the media bar instead of the time line.
d'oh!
thanks so much for your effort to help.

Will no longer save my files to disc or export them. Will only save within Garage Band?

I've been uploading podcasts to my website which in turn puts them on itunes but this week suddenly, garageband will no longer "export to disc" or when it does it will save at twice the file size it estimated. When I try exporting directly into iTunes the "song" never exports (though no warning appears saying it's failed) and when i export to disc (i.e. desktop) the file also doesn't show up on desktop. I can, however, still listen to it within Garage Band. Although that's useless pretty much since the files are meant to be shared.

Without any details it's impossible to even guess what your problem could be.

Exporting vinyl from Garage Band to iTunes

I am recording vinyl into Garage Band,adding sound effects , splitting into individual songs and attempting to export to iTunes . The result is a single "file" , rather than the desired multiple files . I have attempted this working with multiple "regions" on a single "track" , and also splitting the "regions " on to individual "tracks" . Can't come right! am I attempting the impossible, or is there someone out there who can save my sanity.

The result of an export from GB will always be one sound file. Whether you have all your songs on one track or on several tracks - youll have to export them one by one, either by soloing the tracks or setting the export region with the yellow cycle ribbon.
Only exception: If you want to burn a CD directly from GB, you can use the podcast markers to mark the individual songs, and they will be burned to separate CD tracks.

How can i export music from garage band to my PC?

Hi,
Ive read quit a few threads on this matter, but none of the ideas seem to work.
I have created a track in GB and i now want to listen to it on my PC.
The ipad (1st edition) and is syncing up to the PC fine apart from this.
The process that im following is:-
Create the song in GB
Tap ' My Songs' at the top left hand side of the page
Hit the 'send to itunes' button at the bottom left of the page
Choose 'AAC Format'
But when I fire up ITunes (on my PC) , click 'Apps' and then scroll to the bottom, i can see the Garage Band application Icon, but there is no exported music file. Im not sure where to look next.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Yes, no problem, as long as Logic has a equal or higher version. So, Garageband 9 -> Logic 8 will produce problems. With Logic 9, you can import everything and open the GB file directly in Logic.

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?

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.

How Can I record Phone Interviews in Garage Band for a podcast?

Hello...I have a Blue Snowball microphone, IMAC, and Garage Band 3.0.2.
I would like to record phone interviews in Garage band and be able to keep the incoming call at a high enough and clear enough level. So I am not to loud and they are not to low.
This wil be or a podcast.
Please help, any ideas?
-Chris

There's cheap telephone interfaces at Radio Shack (you might do a search in this forum, they have been mentioned before) which plug into the Mac's line-in. Since the Snowball is USB, you can go to the Audio-Midi Utility and create an "Aggregate Device" that consists of your line-in and your Snowball - that way you can record the two sources to two separate tracks and adjust their levels independently.

Podcasting with skype,ichat and garage band at the same time

Hi,
so here is my problem I have a podcast show and I record one of my hosts through i chat into garage band and the other is a phone guest through skype.....everything is going through an alesis mixer...the problem is my i chat host cannot hear the skype phone guest....what should I do??

Microphone into mixer. Output of computer into mixer. Skype and iChat routed to computer output. Skype, iChat and Garageband inputs all set to mixer output (either analogue output plugged into computer line in or using the USB connection). Turn monitoring in GB off.
Now everyone should be able to hear everyone, but the Skype and iChat contributors will also hear themselves coming back with a delay, which makes it very difficult to talk.
There is a way round this, but it involves having two separate audio-USB interfaces (which shouldn't be the same model) - they need to be able to handle both ways at the same time, and many don't. I assume that your Alesis is much the same as mine.
Microphone to mixer. Skype output and input to interface A. iChat output and input to interface B. Set GarageBand input to mixer main output as above.
Microphone channel : turn up sends to Aux A and B
Skype channel: turn up send to Aux B only
iChat channel: turn up send to Aux A only
Plug Aux A output to interface A
Plug Aux B output to interface B
You have now set up what is called 'clean feed' in the UK ('mix minus' in the USA). Skype should receive the microphone and iChat but not itself, iChat should receive the microphone and Skype but not itself. Everything should be heard by Garageband.
You may find some difficulty in getting this to work. The main sticking point is going to be that the interfaces have to work in both directions at the same time, and as I said, many don't.
Skype will handle conference calls and this would be a simpler solution!

HT5537 How do you import/export garage band projects using the latest version of iTunes when there is no apps in the left column to select garageband?

I am perfectly aware of how to do this using the old version of itunes.
however i just got a new macbook pro retina... and it came with the latest version of itunes.
and i was trying to import/export garage band files between my ipad and mac via itunes.
and the option for apps, that is usually on the left side where you can then select garage band from in itunes, isnt there in the new version of itunes.
has anyone got a work around for this?
thanks.
nic

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?
Regards
Léonie

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

GB does not support exporting MIDI files, you'd need to open the file with Logic to do that

Help! Size of garage band song too big when exported

I'm trying to share songs I've created with Garage band. For some reason they are way too large (40 - 60MB) to attach to an email and send. They shouldn't be that big, they are just average sized songs. Thats the size that they each came out when I exported it from garage band to itunes. A friend recomended a program Audacity to reduce their size (or bitrate?) but I haven't a clue as to how to use it to make my songs normal size. Is there some simple way to reduce their size so that I can send them to people?
Also, the second part of my question is I would like the songs to be in a format readable not only by Mac users but by PC users as well.
As you can see I know very little about this stuff but I really need to send these songs out, any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, Marc.

We get posts like this one here fairly often, and I can't understand it.
Go look at your CD collection. Every 3-minute song on any CD takes up 30 MB of file space. Every 5-minute song takes up 50MB of file space.
It's the same with GarageBand, because GarageBand records and mixes music to 16-bit, 44.1KHz two-channel stereo, just like on a CD. One minute of stereo music takes up approximately 10 MB.
Complaining that a five minute song in GarageBand takes up 50 MB is like complaining that a foot has twelve inches in it, or that a kilogram contains 1000 grams.
Use iTunes to burn your GarageBand songs to a CD in the regular audio CD format. Then mail the CD to your friends. They'll be able to listen to it on a Windows PC or a regular CD player at home or in their car.
You can use iTunes to convert your recording into an MP3 that is as small as you want it, but the smaller the end result, the poorer the audio quality.
