Wierd Time Signature Changes Within Song - HELP!!

Hey all, I am recording a song with a combo of real vocals & instruments, some loops, and some parts played via soft synth. Many of the recorded parts were originally recorded in Ableton Live, but I slaved it to Logic and re-recorded the parts in Logic tracks so I can continue and finish the song in Logic. It's all been done to a click track at 127 bpm. Between bars 17-20, the time signature changes radically, and it shows in the display at the top above the tracks. I don't know how this happened, or how to change it. Everything gets condensed to a smaller signature, although I cannot think of a better way to explain it. I took a screen shot and would be happy to email it to anyone (I don't know how to embed images in these posts). I am in desperate need of help here as this little glitch throws off the click for the remainder of the song. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Just position the playhead to bar 17 and change the time signature in the transport window to how it should be (e.g. like the rest of the song). Do the same in the following bars if needed. This actually deletes the "wrong" time signatures and sets everything back to "normal".

  • Time signature changes

    Hey everybody. I got a song I'm sending to a friend who is a drummer. He needs a click track. Problem is, the song has several different time signatures throughout. A 4/4 click track makes things pretty confusing running through a whole song that isn't all in 4/4. Does anyone have a work around for this, or an idea they can throw my way? Is there a way I can program a click track as a single track of it's own? And if so, can I program it at different time signatures at certain times? Apologies if that's confusing. Only way I could think of wording it. Thanks.

    Neither GarageBand on the iPad nor GarageBand on the Mac allow different time signatures in one song.
    The best you can do in a project would be to set one Time Signature, and then ignore it in the sections of the song with a diferent signature.
    To create a click track with different signatures, create a new project for each of the sections of the song with different signature, then share these as audio files to a computer and sync the audio back to the music app on your iPad.
    Then create another project for the combined click track: import the audio sections as loops to one track (using the loop browser) and combine them to your click track.

  • Copying multiple time signature changes

    I suspect this might have a really simple answer but I can't seem to work it out..
    I'm working with a 16 bar section in the arrange that changes time signature every bar or two - all working fine with changes showing in the global tracks area. How do I copy this section in the arrange while also copying the appropriate time signature changes? My normal copy/paste routine doesn't copy the signature changes as well.
    Thanks,
    D

    Ah yeah that worked
    Thanks

  • How can I set time signature for my song?

    I wanted to compose a song in Garageband in a time signature 3/4. I couldn't see any setting which lets me set it. Also I wanted to know what all time signatures do Garage Band support ?E.g. 2/3/, 4/4, 6/8,7/8 ...Would really appriciate if someone can help.

    As far as I'm aware GarageBand for iPad only supports 4/4 time, at least in it's present form.

  • Fast Dup of Time Signature Change

    Hi there,
    I've got a song that changes Time Signature for each bar from 3/4 to 5/4 and on (which is in fact 3+5/8 if I'm not mistaken). Now how can I set these and then simply duplicate it thru-out the whole song instead of setting each bar manually?
    Thanks in advance!
    Micha

    Again, not the answer I wanted, but its the right one I am finding.
    You might consider to upgrade to Logic, if you need this feature frequently and would profit from the other more advanced options. Not to be able to change the time signature, is the one thing about GarageBand that I really don't like. But I decided to stick with GarageBand anyway, because I like its simplicity.
    Perhaps one day this will be added to GarageBand - when I started with GarageBand, it was impossible to change the tempo, but now you can.
    You may want to send feedback to Apple, that you need this feature:

  • Time Sigature changing?

    Hi,
    I'm currently about to record a progressive-style band that needs many time signature changes during their songs, many only lasting for one bar.
    How do I map time signature changes?? (whenever I try anything it changes it for the whole song).
    Thanks in advance,
    Chuck

    Hi
    Several methods;
    a) Put the Playhead at the required Bar No. and change the Time Sig in the Transport
    b) Global Tracks: Signature.... enter Time Sig Change with pencil tool
    c) Lists... Signature... create Signature
    d) enter a Time Sig in the Score editor
    That should do it!

  • Anyway to set the time signature mid song?

    I'm making a song in garageband and i need to change the time signature for one bar from 4/4 to 2/4 and then back again, is there anyway to do this?
    Your help is appreciated.

    Sorry, GB only allows for one time sig per song. As long as you don't need the notation, you can probably live with it that your bars now are shifted two quarters - until you insert the next 2/4.

  • How do you change the time signature in Ultrabeat? I want to record something in 3/4. Thanks

    Hello,
         I want to record a song in 3/4 using Ultrabeat. I can't figure out how to change the time signature in Ultrabeat. Any ideas?
    Thank you,
                        Evereman

    Hi
    You need to take into account the Resolution (how big is each step) and the number of steps (the Length)
    For example, with a resolution of 1/16, one bar of 3/4 would be 12 steps, 2 bars 24, etc
    You can set these parameters at the bottom of the UB interface

  • Can't change Time Signature before Bar 1

    I have a song that I want to have a 2 bar count in of 7/8, then go into 13/16 starting on bar 1. Somehow the count-in time sig got changed to 18/8, and everytime I try clicking before bar 1, and re-setting it to 7/8, it just stays on 18/8. I can't figure out why it won't let me change it. I can change the time sig on bar 1 and every thing after it, but not the count-in. Is there somewhere special I'm supposed set that count-in time signature? Maybe there's something I've hit that locks the count-in time signature?

    As a workaround you could just start your 7/8 count on bar 1, and change to 13/16 at bar 3. Then after you get it recorded you can move it back to bar 1. I've tried to do what you're trying on my settup and can confirm that it does not work.

  • Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in monochrome instead of colour? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in

    Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in the same monochrome structure (instead of appearing in colour as it is now when i open in PS, not even monochrome)? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in my 5D)?
    1. Basically I am taking photos with a monochrome setting with my 5D and the screen shows monochrome.
    2. when i import this onto my computer and open with PS, it opens in colour.
    3. when I change this to Monochrome in PS. (It cannot read my monochrome setting with my preference of the greyscale mix when I viewed it on my 5D)
    4. my question is: is there a way so that PS can read the monochrome setting from my 5D and display the same monochrome setting as my 5D instead of a different one from PS.
    Lily

    you need camera raw 6.7 or better.
    i don't know what version of ps you have so i can't say if it can be updated to use that, but update anyway.

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
