Remove Reverb from Voice Tracks in GarageBand

I am testing out the version of GarageBand that came with my iMac. I had previously been using GarageBand '09.
In GB 10.0 when I add any voice track, it automatically includes this reverb that I can't get rid of. The default "audio track" has no reverb but so far it looks like all of the voice tracks have it.
I have turned off the master reverb, master echo, and track reverb/echo.
I still here it.
What am I missing?

The "Reverb" is part of most of the predefined vocal patches.
You can save your own settings as a new instrument patch using the "Save" button at the bottom of the Library. Then use this patch, when you create a new vocal track.

Removing keyframes from motion tracking

I have this video that I perform Analyze Motion to, then Match Move what I want to attach.
Trouble is, the Analyze Motion is just a little bit too jittery for my liking. What I'd like is to do a match move but only have every other (or every 3rd) keyframe used, to smooth out the movement.
Is there a way to do this, or to knock out every other keyframe from the Analyze Motion?

The best way to "smooth" a track is to use the Average parameter behavior. Apply it to the same layer that has the Analyze motion (or any other tracking behavior). Set the "Apply To" parameter to the Track result(s) that need smoothing. I would recommend using one instance for each axis (X/Y) for each track. This will give you better control since in many cases you may need different degrees of smoothing.
Be aware, average reduces the accuracy of the tracks, so you may encounter some drift or decreased accuracy. If you really want to remove every X number of frames, you would need to do this manually in the keyframe editor. Before you do that, I'd make a copy of the tracking beahvior. If you remove keys from the behavior and don't have a duplicate, you'll have to reanalyze.

Removing hiss from cassette tracks

Other than the gate, how can I effectively remove hiss from some cassette tracks I imported to GB?

an audio editor like audacity would be a better choice:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
but in GB you can try any of the EQs (parametric would be my first choice)

Removing Effects from a track

How do I remove an effect from the insert on a track? The help menu says to click on the insert and select "no effect" but when I click, it doesn't give me that option. Is there another way to remove an effect from a track?

Thank you. That was so simple that I feel silly now

Can't remove effects from video track

Video: http://screencast.com/t/x5L00pQn
I right-click the track and select "Remove Effects", tick all checkboxes but nada.Of course, the track is not locked or anything.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

What effects are you referring to? I see time remapping keyframes, but those are exempt from the Remove Effects command (since removing them would alter the duration of your clip).
Remove Effects removes or resets the following:
Motion (intrinsic)
Opacity (intrinsic)
Video Filters (applied)
Audio Filters (applied)
Audio Volume (intrinsic)
Transitions are not effects, at least in the technical definition, so they are not removed either.

Removing echo from audio track.

Hi
I have audio recorded in a church which sounds great apart from the echo on it. Im at a loss as to which filter, if any will help remove it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks
Adrian

You may be able to reduce the level of echo by using a noise gate; the results will depend upon the nature and level of echo and also other background noise, but some reduction may be possible. Don't be too agreesive in the setting of noise reduction otherwise it will be very obvious that you are gating the sound and you will end up hearing the background sound coming and going as quite often heard on less well processed movies and tv productions.

Separate Vocals from a track in Garageband?

I imported a song into garageband and I want to separate the vocals. Is there a program or a way to do this in garageband.

Removing echo from voice over

Hi - we recorded some voice over in a hotel room whilst on the road and it has a pretty bad echo on it. Sounds like we recorded in the bathroom. Does anyone have some suggestions to reducing this echo? any help much appreciated. thanks!
michael

The echo or reverberation of the room is usually quieter than the direct sound,
so sometimes using an expander or noise gate will help.
If the recording was done in stereo (like the camera's built-in mics, for example),
you can get rid of some of the ambience by mixing left and right together as mono.
Finally, when shooting, wear headphones.
Do a test shot, play it back and listen.
If the sound is too roomy, move the mic closer to the talent.
Good luck!

Why is WAV file Voice track playing slow, how to speed up

I drop a WAV file voice track into GarageBand and it plays slow. How can I avoid, and/or fix this condition?

My brushes still run slow especially at low opacity in the 2-8% range for gentle retouching work. There is a 3-5 second delay sometimes.
I have updated vertsion of Photoshop CS4
Have Open GL Nvidia 7800 authorized board
have latest drivers for video board.
Using 137 gig separate hard drive for cache and scratch
Why would I still be getting this delay?
Sometimes I set my cache level to 1 or 6 to see if that changes things...doesnt do much it seems
Anything else I can try??
Thanks

REMOVE VOCALS FROM TRACKS

DOES LOGIC PRO 8 HAVE A PLUGIN FOR REMOVING VOCALS FROM TRACKS?
Thanks.

Sample if I'm not mistaken that was a tongue in cheek comment, and I got it... so you know it wasn't lost on everyone. As far as the VS880... I'd like to hear the "stunning' results I had one of those way way back and the bottom line is you are taking out frequencies that are panned centre, so ... as pointed out the reverbs and delays are almost never panned centre and won't get removed... but there are a lot of other instruments that suffer from the removal of said frequencies and to my ear ... the results always suck... DNA is just new and even though a revolutionary break-through, I seriously doubt it's anywhere close to that. I mean he did have a break through playing with the math of frequencies but when it comes to trying to separate formants all those other unique elements that distinguish between the sounds of different instruments including voice .. forget it...
At this point DNA won't even separate drums, and for all intents and purposes you could argue that each drum in a kit is pitched differently ... They are sooooo far from separating instruments sharing frequencies not worth mentioning...

How do i remove feedback from garageband

Hello, i'm having trouble removing feedback in garageband when monitor is "on".
Thing is i was using Garageband yesterday, recording from the mic of my computer, using headphones and i was able to turn monitor on ( so i could hear what i was recording).
Today i plugged in my guitar (guitar --> adapter ---> laptop), but horribly failed to make it work, so i unplugged it.
Went back to record some voice again, but apparently when i turn monitor "on" now i hear a lot of feedback, even a window pops up telling me there's a lot of feedback so i better turn it off.
I unplugged the guitar and everything, using same configuration than yesterday but im not able to turn monitor "on" again without hearing a lot of feedback.
What could have happened?
thank you
extra info: guitar is really old, only 1 pick-up is working and the plug sometimes doesn't work, so i have to move it around in order to work again, etc..

Have you found the component by now?
I made a trial install of voxReducer2 to checkk where it gets unstalled - the only install option was in the user library, not the system library for all users. The plug-in ended up in ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/voxReducer2.component/ - in the hidden user library. That is very unusual. As HangTime said, usually these plug-ins will be installed in the System Library for all users.
To remove it from the user library, you need to open the hidden library. Use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Click somewhere on the empty Desktop to bring the Finder forard, then Select "Go" from the main menu bar and hold down the alt/options key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu.
Then select Library, and in the window that will open, go to the "Components" folder.
You need really to get rid of his plug-in in Mavericks - I only used it for a few minutes and Garageband needed to be force quit!

Restoring Voice Track from Music and other elements - NOT KARAOKE Question

I have a 60 second mix of an audio track that combines voice, music and other natural sound elements...in otherwords, it's the end product.
I also have the Final Cut Pro timeline the project was created from, with all the raw elements in their proper spots EXCEPT the voice track. The voice track was deleted.
I need to try and restore JUST A CLEAN COPY OF THE VOICE-TRACK, without any of the elements mixed with it.
In there a way of using inversion (or some other features) and SOUNDTRACK PRO with the elements I have, to try and get a clean copy of JUST THE VOICE TRACK back?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No. inversion and voicekilling only works when you want to kill (actually dim) a mono signal within a stereo channel. e.g. you could kill a kickdrum in a heavy reverbed musicbed. In your case, you want to kill the rest, and leave the voice, the mono part, intact. That's impossible. I think you have to record again..

Want to record ext. synth/voice as tracks in GarageBand 3/Controller Q's?

I want to record sound from my microKORG into GarageBand 3. I purchased a cable with the right connectors (which unfortunately I can't even find now, but when I do) to go from the output of the microKORG to the input on the mac Mini, but I was never able to hear any sound when recording it.
I AM able to use the microKORG synth as a controller for GB 3 using an M-Audio Uno USB cord, but have a MIDI keyboard with larger/more piano keys (though the first key is broken) I plan to use for playing instruments in GB instead if not playing sound into a track from the microKorg.
Also since I can't find the connection cables yet- or even if I do- should I use my Griffin iMic with cables coming out of the microKORG into the RCA cables in the Griffin iMic, hooked up via USB (does the iMic even have a preamp in it? Basically, will it sound better anyway to use the iMic until I purchase an input device/GB controller like Apogee's Duet? And, if I get a mic, can I use it for recording vocals?) Should I get an old iControl (I heard it had a MIDI input, which I can use for my microKORG since I only have 1 free USB input on my Mac Mini, as I have a USB ext, HD- by the way, can I save all my GB audio files- or even the whole GB application- onto my ext. HD, I've learned you can move your iTunes Library to one? Just how useful WAS the iControl, and will it work with the new GB 5 in iLife '09?) or just wait till I can get the Apogee Duet (I hear it's a superior Firewire controller with great sound and built-in presets for GB and Logic, though it's $500) but I'm a bit confused as to how the Apogee can supposedly control GB so well with just 1 knob that I guess is turnable and clickable?
Finally, as a choice for a new keyboard controller, I know you can't control many functions in GB via a MIDI controller, but since I could possibly also use it to control the microKORG's sounds and play normal-sized piano keys, as well as maybe using it with other software, would you recommend I get the M-Audio Oxygen 61-key controller with lots of MIDI assignable buttons (or move up to the even more MIDI programmable Axiom 61 key, which I can get for $230), or just go down to the Keystation 61 ES, with semi-weighted keys (I can get both the Oxygen and the Keystation at around $140 at jr.com). Or if I want to give up some MIDI control for a full keyboard (though I may NOT want to, since I plan to learn other programs like Live and Reason, which I suppose could benefit from the Oxygen's extensive MIDI control- can anyone confirm this?), if I AM willing to give up as many controller functions for the use of a full-sized keyboard, should I go with the Keystation 88 ES, which may be my best bet, as I found one used at $129, if I use the iControl and/or Apogee Duet eventually for a controller, I just don't know how well it can control my microKORG- would I still have to use it for programming/instrument changes and the keystattion 88 es just for playing the instruments? I know I have a ton of questions here, and would appreciate any help anyone can offer- what I need to do first is see if I can use the iMic to record my microKORG into GB 3, and continue using it even after I find my cables that go directly into the computer from it?

No, the iMic has Left and Right stereo RCA inputs, that's the whole point, ...
Then you must have a very special model - all the ones I know have 1/8" inputs:
But anyway - it doesn't make a lot of sense to pick your hardware equipment according to the cables you have. An adaptor from RCA to mini-jack or vice versa costs a single digit dollar amount. Why don't you just get your gear connected and then come back with precise questions? It's not a very good idea to poor out all the questions you ever had about recording in one post and expect concise answers.

Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

I had to google your device - looks like it's a vintage multi-track recorder that records to Zip disks. So I guess there's no digital USB or Firewire multichannel output and no way to transfer your tracks digitally - or is there? If not, your only option is to record the device's audio track by track into GB.
