Garage Band
 

Anyone good with it?
I figured out how to import a song from iTunes into it.
Trying to figure out how to cut the song for the portion I want.
I know how to send it back to iTunes after that but am missing that critical middle, ever so important part on the editing.

Re: Garage Band
 

Not in front of my Mac right now and I don't remember the exact steps.

If you want to email me the song and let me know what section you need I would be glad to make the edit for you and email it back. PM me.

Re: Garage Band
 

I truly appreciate it and in no way don't want to sound that I don't but I truly want to learn to fish so I can fish again some day.:D

Would be great if you and when you have a chance, post the steps in case anyone else is also interested.

Thanks in advance.

is this the band?

Re: Garage Band
 

OK.

So you have the song in Garageband and it is showing up as a waveform on a track right.

Just drag from front to back or back to front on the waveform to leave only the part of the song that you want.

Then if you show the "Master Track" you can fade in and out by dragging the volume button up or down.

Good luck!

Re: Garage Band
 

I was just fumbling with it before I saw your post.
Was sort of there but couldn't finish it.
I figured out how to shorten it but when I export it to iTunes, it goes as a full song and not what I edited.

Re: Garage Band
 

Hmm. It works for me.

I imported an mp3, shortened it and then went to SHARE -> Send song to iTunes and it popped up in itunes shortened.

Did you try moving the shortened bit to the very beginning of the project?

Re: Garage Band
 

That may be I'd. Will try it when I get back home. Man I love this iPhone.

Re: Garage Band
 

you got an iphone now? great now I have to switch to ATT

Re: Garage Band
 

Got it.
What a neat program to chop up songs for ringtones.
Tough part was figuring out once I trimmed it, to move the song to the beginning and then took me a bit to make it fit the window allowed for ringtones.
All set.
Thanks.

Re: Garage Band
 

free ringtones?

Re: Garage Band
 

With Garage Band, you can take any song, take the specific segment you want as your tone, and then send it back to iTunes to download to iPhone.
Neat stuff.

Re: Garage Band
 

is this for pc too, or do I need to buy an iphon and do I buy and mac, and do I buy them both at an apple store?

Re: Garage Band
 

No, yes, yes, No.

Much better in the Mac World.

Re: Garage Band
 

:bh great, I wonder how much it will cost to get out of verizon

Re: Garage Band
 

Do like I did.
Wait.
Who knows, by the time your contract is up, they may have even better generations and cheaper.

Re: Garage Band
 

wait broke the wagon :confused: I have over a year, wait my foot.

Re: Garage Band
 

Then you are going to pay Verizon some bucks.

Check out to see how much it will cost you to break the contract v. just making the phone the cheapest plan they have and just paying it until it expires.
My daughter made me do that with hers. Fortunately, she was on my family plan for only $10 per month more plus taxes, which nearly doubled the darn $10. Had to pay that thing for 6 months until it just expired.

Re: Garage Band
 

back to my question, I cant get garageband for pc?

Re: Garage Band
 

It is an Apple application.
I am sure there are similar programs for a PC.

Re: Garage Band

Re: Garage Band

Tell me what song you want as a ring tone and what part of it.
Can convert it and send it to you.

Re: Garage Band

Google Garage Band for PC and you get lots of hits.

Seems "Mixcraft" does the same.

Re: Garage Band

Re: Garage Band
 

there is an easier way to create ringtones (i may have missed the posting on this)

there is an option on the menu...cycle region the shortcut i believe is 'c'

select that option (or press c) and a little yellow bar will appear underneath the time "ruler"

drag it over the region desired and size it so that it encompasses the desired length of audio (not sure the exact time limit for iphone ringtones)

then you can export it directly to itunes as a ringtone

Garageband is an awesome tool, and outside of making ringtones, i've dabbled in doing some digital recording in it...if you want the PC equivalent i suggest Fruity Loops or ProTools... :)

while simple to use, it is powerful...here is a peek at my old setup :)

Re: Garage Band
 

there are plenty of options to chop ringtones for pc... what phone do you have?

Re: Garage Band
 

There is a much much easier way to get free custom ring tones my friends. Check out myxertones.com You upload a song from your library, do any editing that you want and then it sends it to your phone in the form of a text message. For some phones it works differently than for others but for my LG shine it works great.
