Voice Over in Garage Band

I was using Final Cut Express HD to make a Voice Over, but I was told that Garage Band makes a better VO. I made my VO in Garage Band and it sounded great. I open Final Cut and could not import the VO.
Any Suggestions?

Seek and you will find, I found this in garage band help:
You can send a project containing a podcast track to iTunes as a podcast. The podcast track must be visible when you export the project. When you send a podcast to iTunes, the podcast file is a compressed (AAC) file rather than an uncompressed (AIFF) file.
To send a podcast to iTunes:
If the podcast track is hidden, choose Track > Show Podcast Track.
Choose Share > Send Podcast to iTunes.
You can also export a project containing a podcast track to disk as a podcast by choosing Share > Export Podcast to Disk.
If the podcast track is hidden when you send the project to iTunes, the command Send Song to iTunes appears in the menu. Choosing this command exports only the audio in AIFF format.

  • How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

    How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?  Sorry if this is a newbie question.  I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX.  Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video.  Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

    Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
    To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

  • Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    Try:
    Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
    Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
    When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
    Import that file into FCPX.

  • Voice Over using Garage Band

    I would love to hear from anyone using GarageBand for Voice Over work. I started out using Pro Tools but found too many technical problems and the learning curve was very steep. Anyone out there successfully using GarageBand for Voice Over?

    I think you'll find that Garage Band is too basic for everything that you'll need to do as a voice-over artist. It'll lay audio, and you can make some basic edits, but it's really not meant for any kind of professional voice-over applications.
    Pro Tools LE certainly has its challenges, but stick with it and ask people questions when you get stuck. It's the recording industry standard for audio recording and editing, so I'll pay dividends to get comfortable with it. A lot of the applications you won't need for voice-over work, as some of the stuff is just meant for music recording and editing.

  • Editing Voice Tracks in Garage Band

    Can you/ how do you edit voice tracks in Garage Band?
    In particular, editting out/ deleting pauses in spoken voice tracks.
    Is Music Project of Podcasting the best for the spoken word in terms of post production capabilities?
    Thanks!

    If you are only doing a little voice editing then, as
    HangTime says, you can do it reasonably well in Garge
    band. However if you have any amount to do you would
    find it easier with a proper audio editor. Audacity
    is free but flaky: I would recommend spending $25 on
    Amadeus II:
    http://www.hairersoft.com.
    There is also Amadeus Pro which is $40 and has basic
    multitrack facilities, but for straightforward
    editing Amadeus II will be fine. It can also open and
    save in a variety of formats and make use of both
    Audio Units and VST plugins.
    I do all kinds of voice work, lots of it musical so I like GB.
    But I also do voice overs. 30 - 60 sec. commercials, presentaions and the like, so if I can just have some modest editting capability and add jingles I'd like to just stick with GB if possible.
    I've only had GB a few days now.
    Thanks again.

  • Voice Recorders and Garage Band

    I am very new to Garage Band and I'm not sure it can do what I need it to.
    I need a voice recorder that I can edit. I am familiar with Sony's voice recorders and their editing software, but I haven't seen anyone make Mac compatible editing software for their voice recorders. I recently bought the Belkin TuneTalk stereo for iPod, sounds great on my iTunes, but I would like to edit parts of the track out. I tried importing it to garage band but the playback was super fast. Is this an impossible task? do I need to convert the file when I import it into Garage Band? Any help either on how to make what I have work or suggestions of other devices or software would be appreciated.

    The newest GarageBand (GarageBand 10.0) does no longer allow to add effects freely, each patch as predefined effect setting.
    Use the nice tool "GBEffectFinder", to see which patches will support the effects you need. Download GBEffectFinder here from Bullets&BOnes:  http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/File%20Pages/GBEffectFinder.html
    The EpicDiva will be available in GarageBand 10.0, if you did not uninstall GarageBand '11, when you updated. Then you find the old GarageBand patches in the "legacy" section, e.g. "Legacy > GarageBand > Voices > Epicc Diva".
    The upgrader will have moved your GarageBAbd '11 to a subfolder of Applcations. If you did not uninstall it, you can still use it.
    If you did not yet do it, use the command "GarageBand > Restore Purchase", if you previously owned an earlier version.  Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
    You can use both versions of GarageBand cuncurrently, the previous '11(version 6.0.5) and the new GarageBAnd 10.0. They do not interfere.

  • Podcast voice recording on Garage Band

    I'm trying to use garageband for a podcast but my voice sounds like l'm in a tunnel. How can I change that? I'm using logitech earphones with speaker micro which work very well for skype but sounds different (not as good) on garage band. Any ideas for me anyone?

    Make sure that all the audio effects are off. Click on the little i symbol in the bottom right corner and then edit near the top. It is probably reverb or an echo, those are near the bottom right again. Left side of each one there is a little rectangle that is blue if it is on. Click it to turn it off. Hope this helps!

  • How to edit audio in garage band

    Trying to edit pure voice recordings in Garage Band (for voice over etc work).

  • I am trying to make a mix on Garage Band by dropping songs in the tracks from an ITunes playlist.  I have done this many many times and suddenly I am unable to drop the tracks into Garage band.  They swoosh right back into the iTunes playlist

    Suddenly I am unable to transfer songs from iTunes to Garage Band.  When I try to bring the songs over to Garage Band they will not drop into the track.  They immediately go back into iTunes.  I have made many mixes using GB and cannot figure out what has happened.  Ive looked through system prefences, help window, etc. and cannot understand what has happened.  Any advice?

    either use the Media Browser in GB, or drop the actual song file into the timeline (cmnd-shift-r will reveal the file from iTunes):

  • What are the best settings to send recordings from garage band to iTunes?

    I am recording voice only in garage band. When I send it to itunes to convert to an MP3, I need to know what the best settings are to avoid distortion and background noise.

    I think there should be no noises or whatsoever added to what you recorded when it is extracted, but in matters of quality you can export it to your desktop in CD quality, in a format iTunes reads, once in iTunes you can convert to Apple Lossles, or WAV, which are the best for quality, depends what you want to do with it... Apple Losless is small in file size and sounds really great, but works only on apple products, WAV can be played almost anywhere, and sounds just like Apple Losless but it's a very big file size,,, hope this helps

  • Garage Band for voice over

    I would like to use garage band for Voice Over auditions. Would it be best to use "Create a Song" setting or "Podcast" to do this kind of work? Thank You in advance.

  • How do I take a voice memo and save it in my music app or use it as a sample in garage band

    i don't know how to use a voice memo on my iPhone 5c in garage band as a sample or audio recording. I also want to save it under my music app

    to do both of these, you will need to go through iTunes: sync your iPhone, change the nature of the voice memo from "voice memo" to "music", make sure it shows in your iTunes library, then sync the iPhone again.

  • Is it possible to edit the voice of a song created in Garage band?

    Hello to all!
    Using music tracks, I am singing songs in different languages using Garage band. After I import these songs into my FCPX projects, is it possible for me to break up the individual tracks [the music track apart and the voice track apart] so that I may apply effects to the voice track alone?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not an expert in GarageBand, but if you are exporting a single AIFF file from GB there is no easy way to separate those tracks.
    Better to export them separately to begin with. I can't see an automatic way to do it, but it is not difficult to do it manually:
    Suppose you are creating a song called "MySong" and you have a music track a vocal track (or several music tracks and a vocal track, the idea is the same).
    1) Disable the vocal track by clicking on the little button shaped like a speaker. Export your song using Share->Export Song to Disk... and call it, say, "MySong-Music" (don't use compression, so that GB creates an AIFF file rather than AAC or MP3 - you may have heard numerous admonishments against using compressed audio in FCP X)
    2) Enable the vocal track and disable the other(s) and similarly create "MySong-vocals".
    3) Import both audio files into FCP X and (optionally, but probably a good idea to keep things organized) make them into a compound clip. Note that you'll need to open the compound clip's timeline and manually move one of the tracks below the other, as the compound clip will have them in sequence; but they are the same lenght, so there is no synchronization difficulty.
    4) Make as many edits as you like

  • Voices and 2 mics with Garage Band

    Kinda new to Garage Band, so I'm not sure if I have the newest one or not. But I have 2 questions regarding Garage Band:
    1. I noticed it has 3 different tracks for voices: Podcast track, male voice and female voice. Does it make any difference which is used? My husband and will soon be podcasting, and I'm not sure what the difference would be.
    2. We're contemplating purchasing headset microphones. Would a headset splitter plugged into the "line in" jack work? Or would we be better off purchasing a good quality microphone be better?
    Any other tips/hints anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!
    ~L

    Without seeing the interface, I don't believe you can record on the podcast track. That's for enhancement (jpg's).
    However the male and female tracks can be used for lot of things, not just voicing. You can use those tracks for music and sfx's.
    And you can always add tracks but using the pull down menu or clicking the big + button to create additional tracks.
    I do a lot of podcasting. I'd advise you to purchase a mixer if you're using more than one mic and plan on using other outside sources of audio, such as audio recorded by mini disc or compact flash players. You can find a workable mixer for about a hundred bucks. You'll also need a digital converter to get that analog signal into your MAC.
    Those things will run you around $200-300
    If you're using one mic, and don't plan on any other audio sources, you can do without the digital converter, but my experience is you'll need a mic pre-amp. Those go for about a hundred bucks on up.
    As for mics, you can find deals on those anywhere. The bigger houses (BSWUSA, Sweetwater and Guitar Centers) have a good selection. Again, just my experiece, but you probably want to start with a dynamic mic rather than a condenser, unless you have a real good sound proof studio. Condenser mics are 'hot' mics and pick up just about every background noise. Whether you want a headset or table/arm support mic is up to you. Again, there's a wide variety out there.
    The support on this web site is terrific. You'll find a lot of good advice. Here's another one to check out: www.podsqod.com. The guy who runs it is always talking about cutting edge equipment.
    Hope some of that helps...good luck!
