Using garageband 09 with imovie 09

new to imove & garageband
some questions on using garageband 09 with imovie 09...
- Is there a URL that explains in detail how to use garageband with imove 09 to improve a voice only naration track?
- Is there a URL that explains in detail each of garage bands effects/audio unit effects on the sound track?
- is it correct that once you share an imovie to garage band and edit the sound track with garageband you can not "re-share" it back to imovie for video editing?
- in post production, I am use to doing the following for sound track:
noise reduction, compression/expansion/limiting, equalization, normalize to -1dB.
Some have garage band effects have corresponding names, like compression. But, is there a noise reduction?
Thanks
Bob

No URL that explains the effects in depth to my knowledge, maybe one of the books, like Missing Manual or the Apple Certified when it comes out.
Some high level info here: http://www.thegaragedoor.com/index.html
Correct, there is no round trip editing. However, you should be able to import the completed movie back into iMovie as a new event and then bring it into a project.
Not sure there is noise reduction.

Kernel Panic when using Garageband with Blue Snowball USB mic

*HI ALL,*
*I purchased Mac Pro recently about 3 weeks ago. I am on the latest updates including the recent firmware update. However whenever I use garageband with external USB mic(Blue Snowball) my Kernel Panics and OS freezes and forces me to Power On again. It happened 20 times so far in few hours.*
*I opened garageband first time today after bought this external mic from apple store. I did not use garageband without this mic plugged into USB, I only used garageband with MIC plugged in and in couple of minutes to 5 minutes of using garageband the Kernel Panic occurs. Need your help please. Here is the message I get after login again which I reported consistently to Apple. Any immediate help is appreciated. I use iMove, iPhoto and other apps without any problem. Harddisk verification went o.k.*

I've been getting a number of kernel panics when using USB Mics with Skype, though I have not experienced any crashes when using Garageband.
The crash report cited the AppleUSBAudio driver as the culprit. Here's the set up:

Blue Snowflake USB Mic, Blue Snowball USB Mic
Skype (latest rev - 2.7.0.257)

Seems to be a lot of crashiness with USB Audio in 10.5.2 - let's hope we see a patch soon

Use 'iControl for GarageBand' with iMovie

M-Audio's iControl is intended only for use with GarageBand: but it is possible to make it work with other programs to an extent. Here is a way of using the transport buttons and jog wheel with iMovie. (Tested with iMovie 4 but I assume it should work the same with later versions).
Download MIDIstroke from
http://www.charlie-roberts.com/midiStroke/
(it's free).
On the left in the three columns num/chn/value enter the values separated by / below, then map each set on the right side by entering the text as shown and ticking the 'shift' box where indicated
24/1/1 - RIGHT
24/1/127 - LEFT
109/1/127 - SPACE
110/1/127 - RIGHT [SHIFT]
108/1/127 - LEFT [SHIFT]
106/1/127 - SPACE
107/1/127 - HOME
111/1/127 - END
Connect the iControl, run MIDIstroke and iMovie.
Now the jog wheel will jog the movie backwards or forwards a frame at a time: however if you move it too fast it will fail to respond at all.
The transport buttons are mapped as follows:
Record and play will both toggle start and stop as appropriate in the program.
Fast forward and back will make a single jump of ten seconds for each press (there is no repeat when held down).
Go to beginning does just that, and the cycle button goes to the end.
It's not ideal but if you already have an iControl and you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel (and a driver for mapping to keystrokes), or something with a jog wheel, this might make editing a bit easier.
You could use MIDI Monitor (also free) from
http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
to tell you what commands are being sent by the various iControl buttons and knobs and then use those to map any way you want in any program -the only caveat is that you can't have different commands in different programs: and obviously there has to be a keystroke to do whatever it is you want.

I use garageband with ipad2 which I love, except it keeps changing my drum patterns that I've recorded to something completely different. How do I stop garageband from constantly 'fixing' my rhythms?

I love using garageband on ipad2, but it won't let me enter my own drum rhythm at all. I've tried using the ipad kit directly with my fingers and using my electric kit through a midi to usb cable. I've even tried changing the beats individually via the edit option. But it still changes my perfectly good and unique rhythm into its own format. I don't know it this is supposed to help amateur players, but it's very frustrating for someone who has played for over 20 years! Also, is it any better on a mac? I might consider reinvesting my money. Can anyone help at all, because it's driving me crackers.

When you have the drums up on your screen look in the upper right corner for the icon that looks an equalizer control. Click that and look for the Quantization option. Click it and select none. Quantization tries to correct what it sees as off rhythm beats. Every time I tried to tap out a blues beat with a shuffle feel it "corrected" it to a straight beat after recording. Turned it off and all is well.

Using MacGallery with iMovie HD

Can MacGallery be used with iMovie HD? The system requirements for iMovie 08 are too advanced for my system but I would like to use MacGallery.

Install iLife 08 and you can create "Gallery" pages using iPhoto 7.0.1.
Export your iMovie 6 Project to an appropriately sized QuickTime file, bring it into iPhoto and upload.

Can i use compressor with iMovie.

In a manner of speaking, sort of.
If you export a QT file from iMovie, Compressor can work on it.
More importantly, what is it that you want Compressor to do?

Is anyone using Pegasus with iMovie?

I purchased Pegasus when I got my new macbook Pro, latest version purchased a few months ago. Pegasus seems fast and promising. Decided to get all my iMovie stuff and organize it onto Pegasus.
I had been using a Powermac G5 previously. Was using final cut express. Needless to say, big loss on that note. I like the speed of the new MBP + thunderbolt, but not sure I'm going to try the new FCP X yet. Seems to be too much anger over the program and I am still adjusting to a whole new way of thinking. Moving from a big desktop to a laptop is quite a move. The primary issue is storage. 750gb drive isn't much.
I use Aperture 3 also and have referenced my files. That freed up enough space for me to have about 300gb free on the MBP drive.
Here's where I'm headed for the moment with this question. As I'm consolidating and trying to understand a whole new approach to organizing and using movie files between Ap3, old iPhoto stuff, and iMovie stuff, seems that iMovie is the best overall organizer to view files on the Pegasus, internal drive (very few though), and between various programs.
#1 - If I were to purchase FCP X, does it organize and show all files between iMovie, iPhoto, and Aperture 3?
#2 - I found multiple duplicate files for the moment. Sorting through them, rejecting them, sending them to the trash. It does seems to delete them when on the hard drive and I see an increase in free space. When the files are on the Pegasus, it does seem to delete them (checked via finder), but the space increase isn't seen. For example, I got rid of one project that was about 10gb of events. No change seen on Pegasus. ??
Anyone else using a MBP for video editing that has Pegasus/TB and uses various programs (Ap3, iPhoto, iMovie)? I'm just now really addressing this issue of trying to understand the best overall approach to organize and manage video files.
Aperture 3 solved all my photo problems, looking for something as straightforward for video purposes. Advice?
Thanks.

#1 - If I were to purchase FCP X, does it organize and show all files between iMovie, iPhoto, and Aperture 3?
iMovie will let you organize your movies, and it will give you access to the existing organization of your photos in iPhoto and Aperture. If you have video clips stored in iPhoto or Aperture, you will have access to them, too. In general, you can organize in the App that owns them. For example you can create a photo Album in Aperture. You can see it in iMovie.
Final Cut Pro X is the same, but it can also let you import your iMovie Events and Projects. When it does this, it is non-destructive to the Events and Projects in iMovie. But, interestingly, it does not take up any more space on your Pegasus. The iMovie Events will be imported by a Hard Link (same as the way Time Machine works), so you can have both a FCP Event and an iMovie Event accessing the same clips, without taking up double space.
Having said that, going forward, you would want to import your events into FCPX to take advantage of ProRes 422, which is a superior intermediate codec than Apple Intermediate Codec, which is used in iMovie.
#2 - I found multiple duplicate files for the moment. Sorting through them, rejecting them, sending them to the trash. It does seems to delete them when on the hard drive and I see an increase in free space. When the files are on the Pegasus, it does seem to delete them (checked via finder), but the space increase isn't seen. For example, I got rid of one project that was about 10gb of events. No change seen on Pegasus. ??
If the space is not freed up after you delete the clips, chances are you can free up the space by emptying your Trash. The trash keeps up with files like these in case you change your mind.

When I try to use iSight with iMovie and it says no camera available in iMovie '08

iSight won't connect in iMovie... HELP! I found an article regarding the issue but I think the version of iMovie was different than what I have because it really did me no good.

Here are my suggestions for your iMovie '08 problem.
One of them will resolve your trouble. Try them in
any order you like, testing camera function after
each one until you have found the one that worked.
• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. A simple restart often clears up minor
    issues, including yours.
• I am using iMovie '11 with no problems. Some
   problems have been reported with the iMovie 9.06.
   However, I can't find compatibility info for ver 8.
   If possible, consider updating to this latest iMovie:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/
• Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions. The specific "reset" procedure suggested
   there for your particular MBP model often restores normal function.
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
    (yes, use this Combo even though you are already running 10.8.2)
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.   Then check whether your Mac's  > Software Update... menu command tell you that other updates are needed. If so, apply them and finish with another permissions repair.
• If you still have problems after properly applying the Combo,
   try OS X's Recovery feature http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
   to repair your hard drive or, if all else fails, reinstall a fresh copy of OS X.
• Properly applying the latest Combo update or repairing or
   reinstalling OS X can usually correct software problems.
   However, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem,
   there are no user serviceable parts of your webcam.
   For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Help req'd using VideoPier with iMovie 08

As iMovie 08 can't read my video footage I'm using this application - VideoPier- to de-code it. However, when I export my footage to iMovie 08 it either goes to the 'Folder' or just now it's gone nowhere! To confuse matters even more, the footage has even gone direct to iMovie 08 as it should do but only on two rare occasions. The guy at VideoPier seems to be at to loss to know why I have this problem. Is there anyone out there who can help me.....please?

Hi, Bengt,
+I think there is a difference between 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. Had problems with 0.3 after+
+installing iLife08 that was OK after 6.0.4 up-grade. (PPC dG5)+
That's why I said 'reportedly.'
I think you are correct. I, too, am suspicious of a difference, and I also downloaded version 6.0.4. I did the download as soon as I saw it on Apple's site after getting my new iMac.
I did have the prior iM6 version that I ported over from my old iMac, too. I am sure that I transferred all my old stuff before downloading 6.0.4, but I didn't run into any problems with it not installing.
Regards,
Beverly

Using GarageBand with DJ audio interface

Hi. I have an audio interface (Final Scratch Amp) which is designed for use by DJ's. As long as it has a driver for the mac (CoreAudio) is there any reason that GarageBand wouldn't recognize it? I will be using the firewire port; I have an iBook laptop and Tiger.
Thank you

if its Mac compatible, and doesn't need it's own software to be used, it should work.

Help using iDVD with iMovie '11

I bought the new iMovie '11 from the Mac App Store, and have made a movie successfully on my iMac with OSX 10.6.8.
However, it doesn't seem to be able to talk to my version of iDVD 6 which looks pretty out of date, but I can't seem to
find the new version on the App Store.
There is nothing new for me to download via Software Update.
Could anyone advise me how I can update my iDVD?
Thanks!

Thanks for the fast responses everyone! It does indeed work as AppleMan1958 says, by sharing as large movie. I had to manually drag it to iDVD from a Finder window as it doesn't appear in the media browser, but apart from that it works fine!
I am just a bit puzzled as to why I can buy certain elements of new iLife in the App Store, but others are not available to download....

Using garageband with the Zoom ZFX s2t usb interface

G'day guys,
I'm wondering if anyone would know how to get garageband to recognise the Zoom ZFX interface. I've done all the obvious things such as selecting it in the system preferences also in the Garageband preferences but nothing registers input-wise. Doesn't seem to be any new drivers on Zoom's website,
can anyone help?
cheers

can you elaborate any more on selecting the input channel?
Create a Basic Track (Real Instrument Track) and open the Track Info pane. There you use the Input Source drop-down to choose the channel of your interface to record on that track (use the mono channels).
