Recording songs to a cd

It's hard getting information about Logic when you don't know all the answers. It seems these forums are really helpful and thought I'd see if anybody can help me out.
I've already recorded and completed several songs and want to burn them to a cd. I know I have to do this using an audio track however I can't remember how. How do you record your the song you've made allowing you to import in iTunes or whatever to burn onto a cd? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

1. Use the file>bounce command to create an export of all your tracks in the song to one audio file. You will have the option of adding it to Itunes.
2. Use itunes, or better yet, Soundtrack, to put the files in order, tag them, set the gaps, and burn to CD.
Let me know if you need more help.

How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

IMovie on iPad - cannot add recorded song

I just bought the iMovie for iPad. I have tried many times to add a recorded song which is in mp3 format from the iTunes library to the project I'm working on. But when I tap it, iMovie just has no reaction. It works fine for other songs, the dark green track pops out and wraps around the timeline. I would like to know why and how to make it work. If I can't insert recorded songs to the movies, iMovie just loses it's purpose for me. Thanks! =)

I just had the same problem, only with an aiff track. On my mac I converted the aiff track I wanted to aac and then synced it to my ipad, and it works! On your computer go to the advanced menu and click "create aac version." Get that version onto your ipad itunes and it should now work in imovie. Good luck!

How to visually separate elements in a pre-recorded song?

I'm hoping to use Audition in a research project to study patterns in music. I just downloaded it last night and I'm using the trial period to evaluate if it will meet my needs. I am running the program on a Mac.
As stated above, I'm hoping to use Audition in a research project. to study patterns in music. I need to be able to do this with pre-recorded songs (songs downloaded from iTunes). I do not need to actually separate vocals or other elements (i.e. only hear one or the other), but I am hoping to be able to visually see the vocals, melody, base, drums, other accompanying instruments separate from each others (see their separate frequency waves). So for example, I would like to visually see the main vocals increasing in volume, changing from low to high notes, seeing a note sustained for a period of time, and noting how these patterns coincide with other elements in the song.
I am very much a novice so I am not able to describe this in "music terminology". I have seen the "frequency displays" when playing a song that show the right and left channels - but all the elements are merged together making it impossible to really visually see any patterns. I've tried to play around with some of the options in the effects menu (Amplitude and Compression; Filter and EQ), but I have not found an option that provides what I'm looking for.
Does Audition provide the feature I'm hoping for? Can someone help point me in the right direction for achieving this?
Thanks!!!!!

Not really.
The only way to have visually separate elements is to have each element separate. They'd exist this way in the original recordings prior to the mix but, as soon as they're mixed trying to split them out is like "trying to unbake a cake" (to use a common forum cliche). If you think about it, this makes sense--440Hz from a human voice is the same as 440Hz from a piano--so in the display (which is a mix of amplitude and frequency) they show up as the same.
It MIGHT be worth you having a look at things in Spectral View. This is a useful analytical tool for a lot of things and may show up some interesting stuff--but, even there, I doubt it would give all the info you want.
This isn't an Audition limitation by the way...I don't know of any audio software that can "unbake the cake" as you need to.
If it was me, instead of downloading finished songs from iTunes, I'd be approaching hobby musicians and asking/begging for copies of their original, pre-mixed tracks. There are various home recording forums (indeed, one called "Home Recording") and some there might be able to help. However, even with the original tracks, be aware that they don't necessarily show the levels graphically--typically there would be a display of the original track plus some sort of automation system (which may show you a line going up and down) indicating what is happening to the levels.

HT1849 Get Albums (sometimes many incomplete)shown in Itunes to play/display all recorded songs other than Playlisting them?

I tunes occaisionally records songs from albums in unique windows folders or into unique I tunes "albums". The recording this way appears capricious and even if I subsequently move a song or songs from a disparate folder to the one in which it belongs Itunes never corrects its Albums to include all the songs once it has imported them. This is particulary vexing with works like operas, symphonies and musical shows where the song sequence is critical.
Itunes habit of placing songs, even in from the same Windows folder, into unique I Tunes albums also adds significant clutter to Itunes. ISome times i have several different instances of the same album covers being displayed one after the other like for songs 1,345, 2, 689, 7,10,11 and 12 etc.,
I have gone through several combinations of tryring to effect a cure: 1) manually assuring that a misplaces song or songs are in the identical windows folder as the the originals; deleting and double deleting songs and unique window folders before and after copying them into the original folder; reimporting the disk contets to a new disk drive after double deleting every version of the original album and and every copy of its contents (or partial contents) that I can find by searching my hard drives and back up drives and similarly cleaned up past libraries etc.,
None of this solves the problem.
I do not know how to clean up, or refresh the itunes catalogue and its items. I suspect that this is where my problems lie. I do not wish to turf the whole catalogue and scrub the disk drives where music is stored. The prospect of re-recording the music is daunting and will take a good part of my life time (and in some instances impossible), and I have no Trust that I tunes will not continue to build and organize the catalogue according to its own precepts and fancies.
Once in a whle, the problem appears to get corrected, or I can get a larger number of songs into one album. I have no idea what the magic solution is - though my processes i think are consistent, my results are not.
I am not sure if this is an issue for Itunes, the songs remain on my drives, and playlisting works if I am choosing compilations from unique albums or downloads, but the I find it a royal pain to be unable to have songs together in the albums from which they were originally recorded to the computer.
Are there magicians at hand? Or is there some simple and relatively painless solution available that I have missed.?
Help.
Bob

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

Recording songs on MBP 13' good? bad?

Would the second 13' MBP be decent for recording songs on garage band? I know it wont be spectacular but decent enough for a rough demo at least? Also is there a direct input for instruments, or do you use the microphone?

You can buy an old Logic version for example 5.5.1 which was the last one for PC ( hope you can find someone on Ebay ). This will do the job I guess...
2. and if not, is there a good recording software that works on both PC and Mac? I've heard good things about Ableton Live..
There are many DAWs on the today market which are based for MAC & PC, so it is your opinion what to get...

I am having problems syncing recently recorded songs to my iPod. I am using an ion program to record vinyl records to iTunes. The songs are in the iTune library and will play on the computer. When I try to sync they show up but do not play. help

I am using an ion piece of equipment to record vinyl reccords to my iMac and in turn save them in iTunes. I have recorded many records this way and have never had a problem until yesterday. I recorded three songs from records to iTunes and was successful as they are on the song list and will play on the iMac. When I tried to sync them to my iPod they showed up on the menu but would not play. The iPod just skipped over the new guys. Am I doing something wrong or has my ion program flipped out? Any help would be appreciated by this old man. Thankyou

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

How to hear the metronome while playing a recorded song on iTunes ?

Hey users of Garage Band.
I do not find the setting to hear the metronome after I recorded my guitar in GB`11.
I want to give this song to our drummer to hear, but I want that he hears the metronome too.
I just hear the metronome while hearing the song playing in GB but not after converting to iTunes.
Thanks for helping.

you would have to record the metronome with a microphone to do that.
instead, create a clickTrack:

Recording songs on my PC laptop and importing to Logic/Mac?

I have a Mac desktop and have started using Logic for my recordings. I have a very fast laptop that is unfortunately a PC.
I was looking at this software called Mixcraft which looks like a pretty nice GarageBand clone for doing some recordings when on the road. The only problem is that there is no easy way of importing the project to GarageBand (or Logic), the solution being exporting every song file as AAC/MP3/etc and loading them back up in Logic/GB. This is, obviously, very annoying.
So my question is twofold:
1. Is there any PC software out there that will allow me to transfer its projects over to Logic and GarageBand?
2. and if not, is there a good recording software that works on both PC and Mac? I've heard good things about Ableton Live.. would purchasing a license for that allow me to install it on both PC and Mac and have the opportunity to transfer my projects back and forth?
I realize this is the Logic discussion thread but I couldn't think of a better place to ask this in the Apple discussions and you guys are without a doubt the most knowledgeable bunch I know when it comes to this stuff!
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Playing concurrently recorded songs in shuffle mode.

Help! Is there a way to play songs concurrently that were recorded concurrently while the Ipod is in shuffle mode? Example: Van Halen's "Eruption" going into "You Really Got Me", or the Beatles-Abbey Road medley with "Sun King""Mean Mr. Mustard""Polythene Pam""She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"

Yes... One way I found is to fuse all the files of a medley into one file. Find the files in explorer. Open the files of the medley in notepad. What is seen in notepad makes no sense, but it is the content of the files. Just copy and paste, fitting the medley into one notepad. Then save. It saves beautifully av a mp3 file without any fuss. Import the file into iTunes, call it the medley name and you're done.

Getting started again with recording songs

I have written several songs and I want to record, mix & edit them on my computer; I may also want to add video to some of the songs. I don't want to buy something like cakewalk if I can use an Adobe product that will work with PP CS4.
I already have PPCS4 that I have used to make a guitar set-up and adjusting tutiriol HD DVD that I am selling on Ebay. It comes with a tool kit and the video turned out great. Being somewhat familiar with Adobe products........,
my first, of what may be many question is: Can I use PP CS4 like a multi-track? Or do I need another application software, like Soundbooth or.........?
I will ty to keep my questions single bases, so I don't get confused with a lot of stuff all at once. LOL
Thanks
Jim

My advice is don't try to use Premiere Pro for recording audio. It has multiple audio tracks, but those are for editing, not recording. Soundbooth CS4 and CS5 do multi-tracks pretty well and the software is easy to use. But for heavy-duty editing with a lot of effects, racks and so forth, then use Adobe Audition. Soundbooth is mostly for light-duty editing and for editing the sound tracks of videos. Audition is a much more professional-quality tool and will interface with your instruments and other electronics. Just make sure to buy version 3.0 and not an older version on eBay (unless you're doing it just to qualify for an upgrade). Versions 1 and 2 have serious issues and might not even run on your machine.

Recording song with video

I don't know what it is but i can't seem to get my head around this....
Trying to record a video in garageband/iMovie or whatever but i need to record my instrument along with song in garageband.
I would have though this would simply work by playing the track which would then mix through to core audio and input in iMovie but i simply can't get it to work. I can obviously setup my instrument and an input into iMovie and record but then no other audio from my mac (ie from GB) can be piped in. Anyone have any options?
Maybe a plugin which creates an input from GB into imovie. I just don't have any ideas on this one.
Thanks.
AM.

Sounds like you want to video yourself playing a live instrument along with accompanying audio from a GarageBand project. Is that it?

What do i need to record songs with instrumantals?

I wana make a few rap songs. What do I need to buy to record me and the instrumantal to make the song. I have a few but also how do I make new instrumentals?

to make new instrumentals/beats - you're gonna need some software at least, or you could w/ those drum machines and samplers, etc... check pssl.com for the hardware. they got software too. it's pricey.
there are some free music making software out there. i bought a netbook from a local rapper/producer not too long ago and he had some really cool software on it for producing rap beats and instrumentals.. but unfortunately i had to wipe the pc, so i lost that software. i remember him saying it was free and he got it off of download.com i think (or is downloads.com )
if i can remember the name i will post back with it

Sharing a recorded song (mine) with others who have a PC

Using a Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion and I Tunes.
I have 8 songs I recorded years ago (my own) that were on a DVD. I have them now as files in I Tunes where they can be played locally.
I have a friend with a PC who would like to hear the music. Can someone please advise me if these songs can be uploaded to a free site where they can be accessed by my friend and played on their PC using Windows of course.
The files are .m4a
I'm not familiar with handing audio files at all and am not all that savvy with I Tunes generally.
Can someone please advise a path to accomplish what I'd like to do with this music?
Many thanks
Dudley Henriques

I understand Windows Media Player will open it.........is that right????
It should, depending on what the file type is.
I had tried emailing one of these .m4a files a while back before OSX 10. There was something about not being able to email the file due to some kind of restriction. Has this changed with the new I Tunes perhaps?
Emailing has nothing to do with iTunes.
