Speeding up SINGLE tracks.

Hey,
I'm fairly new to garage band and i have been trying to mix some songs from iTunes. My question is IS THERE A WAY TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN SINGLE TRACKS? Because the two tracks i am trying to mix are out of sync with each oter so IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE TEMPO OF ONE TRACK WITHOUT AFFECTING THE OTHER?
Thanks!

GB doesnt do this. heres a solution:
download free Audacity softo
import track into Audacity
Use 'tempo change' function
import back into GB
however, for beat matching, this may prove more frustrating than its worth, as will probably require lots of experiment.
If you are serious about mixing, beat matching in real time, Ableton live might be a better solution, but a lil pricey.

  • I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

    I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

    If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

  • Enhance Tuning to a Key for a Single Track

    I am looking to enhance the tuning for a single track but when I go to enhance one track it enhances the tuning for all the tracks. Does anyone know of a way to just enhance the tuning for a single track? Or maybe a way to just export one track out of several?
    Thanks

    Well I'm just calling it what Garageband is calling it. At the top it says "Garageband, File, Edit, and then Track. Where you can add, delete, and duplicate a track. When you select "Create New Track" you then can choose from Software Instrument, Real Instrument, or Electric Guitar. I think you are thinking of a Track as a Project. When you first start Garageband the top one says _*New Project*_ and the bottom one says _*Recent Projects*_.
    And I know you can move it to a New Project. I was muting all the other Tracks in a project except for the one that I wanted in a certain key and then I exported it to iTunes and then stuck it right back in as a song. So I know how to do it that way but I was wondering if there was an easier way where I didn't need to export and import tracks all the time.

  • How can I export a single track in Soundbooth CS5?

    Greetings,
    I have built up a single track in Soundbooth composed of several repeated clips. I wish to export this single track.
    How can I do this in CS5 Soundbooth?
    Thanks,
    folsombob

    Sorry nobody has answered this. I haven't been in this forum in a couple of weeks.
    If you have all the tracks right where you want them, are you able to save the file as an mp3?
    Are you looking to export it for web use?
    For video tracking?
    I'm not sure why you'd want to export it as opposed to saving in one of the many available formats.

  • Best Way to Export Single Tracks in Audition

    Hello,
    What is the best way to export one single track (stereo or 5.1) from a multiple track mix in the Multitrack Editor if I want to make it mono? Is it by just muting the tracks I don´t want in the final mixdown and then selecting a mono Master in the Mixdown Options box?
    What about exporting only a few of the tracks from a multiple track mix to one mono file? Same process?
    Thanks!

    "Export all Tracks as Audio Files" found under File>Export.
    This will render audio files of your software instruments that start at bar 1, beat 1, and can be dragged right into Pro Tools. The export happens "pre-fader", so it is bounced at unity gain, and excludes any automation.
    If there is automation that needs to be included (like a filter sweep or something like that), you'll need to solo the track, and bounce it, because a bounced file does include automation.
    Also, if you're using a multi-channel instrument, you'll need to bounce those tracks separately as well.

  • How can I change the tempo of a single track?

    Hi,
    I've been struggling with finding a way to change the BPM of a single track. There are three tracks and only one of them needs to be sped up. When I try using the flex editor, it is too complicated for what I am trying to do. Is there any more comprehensive way - a slider, or an input option - for changing the BPM of a single track in the newest version of garageband?

    The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties.  I just found this thread that might better explain it:

    I hope that helps!

  • How do I fade in/out a single track?

    I thought this would be pretty basic: to fade in and then fade out a single track, but I can't seem to find a way? Is this possible in Garageband? Or should I be looking at Logic Pro 9?

    Each track has a volume curve:

  • How to adjust volume within a single track?

    I have recently purchased Logic Express 9 as I moved from a PC to MAC.If i record a single track, such as vocals, is there any way I can adjust the volume level at different places on that single track? I was able to do this very easily in Acid Pro. All I see in Logic is the ability to increase or decrease the track volume as a whole. Thanks!

    To add to the tips… Make your right tool the marquee tool in Logic. Now when you are in the vocal track and in automation mode, hold Command and you'll get the Marquee tool. Drag a box around the phrase you want to adjust, release command (returning to the pointer) and click on the selection. Now you'll have 4 nodes or handles. Drag the automation line up and down to taste. I manually "compress" all my vocal tracks with an automation pass using this trick.

  • How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.

    My brother works with massive Excel spreadsheets and needs to speed them up. Gigabytes in size and often with a million rows and many sheets within the workbook. He's already refined the sheets to take advantage of Excel's multi-thread recalculation and
    seen significant improvements, but he's hit a stumbling block. He uses extensive VBA code to aid clarity, but the VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times. Some functions are trivial (e.g. conversion
    functions) and just for clarity and easily unwound (at the expense of clarity), some could be unwound but that would make the spreadsheets much more complex, and others could not be unwound. 
    He's aware of http://www.analystcave.com/excel-vba-multithreading-tool/ and similar tools but they don't help as the granularity is insufficiently fine. 
    So what can he do? A search shows requests for multi-threaded VBA going back over a decade.

    Hi,
    >> The VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times.
    The Office Object Model is
    Single-Threaded Apartments, if the performance bottleneck is the Excel Object Model operation, the multiple-thread will not improve the performance significantly.
    >> How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.
    The performance optimization should be based on the business. Since I’m not familiar with your business, so I can only give you some general suggestions from the technical perspective. According to your description, the size of the spreadsheet had reached
    Gigabytes and data volume is about 1 million rows. If so, I will suggest you storing the data to SQL Server and then use the analysis tools (e.g. Power Pivot).
    Create a memory-efficient Data Model using Excel 2013
    and the Power Pivot add-in
    As
    ryguy72 suggested, you can also leverage some other third party data processing tool
    according to your business requirement.

  • Want help speeding up a track on garageband

    Need help speeding up a track. I have an audition song I need to be at 1 min. and I need to speed it up just a bit to fit it all in.  Can't figure it out, any help would be great!

    Mr HangTime,
    I checked the tip on your website and I'm not sure if that is correct.
    An imported audio file turns into an orange Audio Region. Turning on "Follow Tempo & Pitch" will analyze the audio file to create the (invisible) Transient Marker. However this enables only Tempo changes of the Audio Region BUT NOT Pitch changes. The Pitch slider is still grayed out.
    Turning an orange Audio Region into a purple Audio Region will activate the Pitch Slider (not grayed out anymore) but you still can set any Pitch offset. So the turning purple thing seems to be more a cosmetic change which could lead to confusion.
    The only way to utilize Pitch changes on an imported audio file is to turn it into an Apple Loop (Edit > Add to Loop Library) and then grab it from the Loop Browser. Now it is a blue Apple Loop Region with all its advantages, including Pitch changes.
    Can you confirm that, or do you have different behavior on your system?
    Lucylouisie, here are the steps to shorten your audition song :
    Import the audio file into a new Project with an Audio Track (lets have the Tempo at 120bpm). The Audio Region is orange
    Double click on the Audio Region to open the Track Editor and there, select the checkbox "Follow Tempo & Pitch". GarageBand will analyze the audio file and create (invisible) Transient Markers which make the following magic possible. Remember, the Pitch slider is grayed out and applying a Pitch offset to the (orange) audio region is not possible even if the checkbox is labeled "Follow Tempo & Pitch"
    Let's assume your audio region is 1min and 10sec long. You can see that on the Time Ruler (you have to set it to display Absolute Time to show the time and not the bar:beat).
    Now set the LCD Display to "Project" and click on the Tempo which opens a vertical Tempo Slider.
    This is the important part: When moving the Tempo slider up, the Audio Region's length stays the same on the Track Lane but the Time Ruler will stretch to the right. Adjust the slider so the 1min mark on the Time Ruler aligns with the end of your Audio Region.
    What happened: you speeded up the playback  Tempo of your Project and with it the playback Tempo of your Audio Region (remember, "Follow Tempo") so it lasts exactly 1min instead of 1min 10 sec.
    It sounds more complicated than it actually is. Just play around with it and always keep the relationship between playback tempo and Region length in mind. The procedure I just described also helps you to visualize the concept to better wrap your head around that it.(Just for fun, switch the TIme Ruler, to display Musical time, bar:beats and see what is fixed and what is chaining now).
    On a side note, when chaining the playback speed of an audio file, there are two scenarios:
    Scenario A - The change in length changes also the pitch. This is the traditional way with tape machines or using a vinyl record on a turn table).
    Scenario B - The change in length does not affect the pitch which requires additional pitch compensation. GarageBand uses this method and that is what you want in your case: Playing back your audio clip to make it shorter without ending up with a mickey mouse effect of your audio file by transposing it (pitch change).
    Hope that helps

  • Adjust voice and instrument volumes in single track

    Hi, I am relatively new to Garageband and have never really worked with mastering vocal tracks before. I had an old cassette tape that my father had done some recordings on. They were done in a studio and are vocals with organ accompanyment. I wanted to break the cassette down into tracks and put it on YouTube.
    I plugged my cassette player's headphones jack into the audio-in port on my Macbook and recorded one long 20 minute track in. I figured out how to adjust the Noise Gate and AUGraphic EQ to reduce most of the static from the transfer and original cassette. The only problem that remains is that when the track was originally recorded, the organ is very loud at some points and drowns out the vocals.
    Does anyone know if there is any way to apply filters or mess with the EQ on a single track to lower the volume of the organ or raise the volume of the vocals?
    Any assitance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I don't think there's much of a chance since probably the organ and the voice occupy similar frequency bands. What you can do is pull up the graphic eq on the track (go to the track info pane and add that effect in one of the free slots) and try the different frequency bands to see whether raising or lowering one or several of them makes the balance better. But I guess it will just make the whole mix sound worse.

  • Exporting single tracks from a garageband project

    how can i export single tracks from a garageband  (6.0.5)       project (and not the whole song) to be converted in aiff/wav?
    thanks

    Solo the track you want to export by clicking the solo (arrow)button in the Track header. Then export the song to the disk.

  • Setting volume levels in a single track

    How do I change the playback level of several seconds of a single track?

    Good to hear that you were able to sort it out. It sounds as though you were really pushing up against the limits of the disk, so the window of opportunity for the break point would have been very narrow. If you want to experiment with the 8.5gb version again I would suggest guesstimating approximately where the middle of the project is and then scattering chapter markers in that general area. You should come up with one that is in the right place to make it work.

  • Function to bounce single tracks of a project automatically?

    Hi guys
    Is there any function i can use on logic 9, which bounces all the single tracks of a project automatically?
    I have to bounce everything in Audio, cause I am about to send the stems to someone..
    The project has 88 tracks so its quite a job to do it manually..
    Ca anyone help me?
    cheers!
    Jon

    Hi !
    Thx for the answer!
    It worked, but it bounces the tracks without the volume settings..
    Means that the tracks doesn't fit each other what volume concerns..
    I think I will have to do it manually
    cheers
