Splitting an imported song into instument tracks.

Hello, I am a newbie to garage band and have a simple question, although the answer is probably not as simple...
I want to import my songs onto garage band, locate only the bass guitar instrument, and slow it down so I can learn to play my favorite songs on my bass!
I just learned how to slow the tempo down on an imported song, but I do not know if there is a way to seperate an imported song into its component instruments.
All help is appreciated thank you!

You can try using some of GB's EQing, etc. to reduce the other instruments somewhat or bring up the bass, but, as HT said, you can not separate what's already mixed.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Can I split an "iTunes LP" into individual tracks?

Hi there,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I've been looking for over an hour and can't find anything that helps.
I recently purchased the song "Where Are We Now" by David Bowie in order to register my pre-order for the album "The Next Day" which came out a couple of weeks ago. I didn't realise it was an iTunes LP and now I am stuck with two problems.
1) I can't insert the original track I purchased into the main album so I have two entries on my iTunes library, one containing one song and one containing the rest of the album
2) I can't split the iTunes album into separate tracks and it's driving me nuts.
If I have to play the album as a whole and not be able to cherry-pick tracks from it then okay, I guess I can live with that. But with track five as a stand-alone it means I have to listen to the rest of the album and then go back and listen to track five separately? This can't be right.
I've not come across iTunes albums before and they SUCK if this is what I have to put up with, and I'm certainly not buying the album again via individual songs because that'll cost me over £20.
I hope someone can help, because I'm extremely annoyed. I can't even burn the thing onto a CD and then re-import it because I can't insert track five into the album where it should be.
Thanks,
Bee.

Okay, panic over, there was one step I didn't complete and now I've done it, it's worked fine.
I shouldn't be allowed nice things.
As you were.

Importing Songs Into Your iTunes Library

Does importing songs into your iTunes Library (from either CDs or via iTunes Store download) slow down your computer? If one has thousands of songs in his/her library, does the overall speed of the computer slow down, including when running applications?

My library is fairly large, although not as large as others have claimed, but my 10,000+ tracks have not made any sort of noticeable slowdown on my computer that I can detect.
I think where you get a lot of slow downs with large library is if you have a large number of Smart Playlists with live updating so that when you play stuff or change ratings or whatever in your library, the computer has to do a lot of rule comparisons for several SPLs against a large number of tracks, so you can get slow downs between songs or when you change stuff.
But if you don't get overly carried away with the SPLs, you should be fine.

Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

Hi,
Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

Lockup when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1

Have anyone experienced a lockup in Windows when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1? Not sure if this is a problem of the new version or something I need to diagnose with my PC. I know alot you guys probably have MACs so I would appreciate any feedback you might be able to lend. Thanks in advance!!!

UPDATE: When all else fails reinstall everything! (without offending PC users, this is an accepted practice around here for pc software issues.....sorry). Anyway, trashing the old Spin DR and Toast Titanium and reinstalling seemed to get me going again. Sorry to bother everyone.

I have a flash drive with 6GB of music. How to import songs into iTunes?

Foolish me, I was under the absurd impression that Apple, the company that brags non-stop about the functionality and user-friendliness of its software, would allow you to simply drag and drop music files into the iTunes window.
Oh, how stupid was I.
Drag-and-drop into iTunes? NONSENSE!!!!! That would be far too simple!
Like literally everything involving iTunes, what should be an exceedingly simple process is far more complicated.
So, how the heck do I get these 300+ songs in WMA format from my flash drive into iTunes?

The problem is actually that you are trying to import WMA files into the Mac version of iTunes. WMA files can only be imported (and subsequently converted to AAC) in the Windows version of iTunes. You also have to have a version of Windows Media Player 9 or higher on the PC.
Just an idea to throw out there. If you have access to a PC, import the songs into Windows Media Player, convert the tracks to MP3, put those on your flash drive and import to your mac.
Hope this helps.

ITunes 7 has split my albums up into individual tracks in cover view!

In the two new views in itunes 7 many of my albums have been split up into individual tracks. Is there anything I can do to 'consolidate' them back?
Power Book Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there, I have the same problem, Albums I've imported from CD and albums I've bought through itunes now display as separate tracks in both views with album art. Also in list view if I click on an album all its tracks are now not in the correct album order but mixed up, so if I use the album view im left with 10 album covers for the same album with 1 track per cover and in list view everything is all mixed up. I wish I'd never upgraded from itunes 6 as this is now a complete mess and almost unusable with 300 albums of music "WELL DONE APPLE" as a 12 year mac user Im starting to feel like im back using windows 3.1 again

Imported song into After Effects CS6 and won't fully render.

I imported a song into After Effects CS6 to use audio waveforms. I click RAM preview but it won't render or play past 18 seconds. What am I doing wrong and how do I render the entire audio track so it will actually play all the way through with the effects on it.

Ram preview length is determined by the amount of available ram. It is also usually limited to the work area. Either lower the resolution of the comp window or extend the work area.
Please read the FAQ section at the top of the forum. You'll have your answer there.

Trouble Importing Songs Into New PC

I got a new PC running VISTA. I import songs and they disappear from the
library. Some songs are purchased, some are CD's that I have in my home library.
Most of the purchased music I'm having problems with is over a year old. However, some of the tracks I purchased at the same time are o.k. and stay in the library. I am going to File > Add Folder To Library. Then the window
pops up and I select the folder containing the songs. It looks like it works
but several minutes later, some of the songs are missing (! by the name).
I have tried the following (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1727)
Burn a data CD or DVD with the song files
Burn the song files to a data CD or DVD. Once you've burned the disc, insert it into another computer and import the songs into iTunes.
External hard drive
Drag files to the disk icon of an external hard drive connected to your computer. Connect the hard drive to the other computer, and import the songs into iTunes. You can also use your iPod as a hard disk.

What kind of "Limerwire" files are you trying to import? Pirated files? - Sorry but there won't be any help on how to use pirated files on this board.

Can't import songs into itunes library...

For some reason it isn't working. I took a couple of songs off my ipod via ephpod and i tried opening them using the import function in itunes. I open it, but the songs aren't added into the library at all. Maybe it might be the file format? Anyone have anyway to convert the songs into the accepted format?

Yep,
I have been having the exact same problem now for over a year. First, it was like six hundred songs--wouldnt play on my ipod and then wouldnt add into my itunes library. It happened to correspond with an update of itunes and the ipod firmware. It has only gotten worse and now I am in fear of updating anything further. I have been looking for answers to this problem for a long time, if you happen to get an answer that works would you let me know about it too?
Thanks!

How do you import songs into a new iTunes library from a Touch?

I downloaded iTunes on a new PC laptop but, I'm unable to import the songs that are on the Touch, to the new iTunes library.
The songs that are on the Touch are all iTunes purchased songs and these songs are based in a iTunes library that is on the old laptop that no longer works. iTunes on the old laptop cannot be accessed and there was no cd-dvd back up done for this library.
When the Touch is connected to iTunes on the new laptop, the songs on the Touch do appear in a music folder under the device heading which is fine but, because these songs can't be imported into the new library, they cannot be backed up as far as I know.
Otherwise, everything regarding iTunes is working as it should be on the new laptop.
Since I'm dealing only with iTunes purchased songs, iTunes, and a Apple device, there must be some way of adding the songs from the Touch into the new library.
I've done a Google search about this and any of the suggestions I've tried, haven't worked.
The OS on the new laptop, is Windows 7.
If someone can offer some help on this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your suggestions worked.
Had to do the authorize step first and then I was able to re-download the songs into the new library.
Thanks

How to split one long file into multiple tracks?

I have a single-file recording of a vinyl record (containing multiple sequential tracks) that I want to export to multiple separate tracks. Is it possible to take thisfile of audio, add markers to it and export that file from multitrack view into separate tracks? I know its possible to do it using markers and to export a CD list and the burning to CD, but can you export to multiple gapless WAV files instead, with the markers as track/split points?
I am not burning to CD, just wanting to keep the tracks as files.

Once you have added your markers and merged as for making a CD you can then use the Batch Process Marker Regions (next icon along from the Merge icon in Marker list) to save out the marked regions as individual files.

Import song into iTunes after purchasing with Pepsi Stuff points

I purchased a song using my Pepsi Stuff points on amazon.com. It downloaded fine, but I can't get iTunes to import it into my library. I tried emailing Amazon and all of the solutions I received still don't work. I was trying to figure out how to contact Apple, but the email support forms all ask for my order number, which I don't have since I didn't purchase the song through iTunes. Has anyone else done this and had the same problem? Please help!

This is an issue... but I think it is an Amazon issue. I too got Pepsi downloads, the songs download fine, butI am not able to import, the auto import doesnt seem to funtion and on top of that, you cannot even play the song in Media Player. Good thing I didnt purchase the music!
If anyone can think of what I am doing wrong or how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!!!!
