Hi, this is a FYI, I thought some of you GB6 ( Garage Band 6) The new GB 6 ,
might find this helpful. So see below.
Garage Band 6 Editing, Using Loops and More
Information for this guide was provided by,
Ashley Cox,
Ricardo Walker,
Keith Reedy
And others
In this guide we will discuss,
1: Editing with GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
2: Adding a loop to your project in GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
3: Stretching a loop in GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
4: moving media in to your GarageBand 6 Project from the finder.
5: Using the LCD group.
1: Editing in GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
First of all, open your project and make sure that the track you want to
edit is selected by moving to Arrange layout area and interacting with it.
Next you will hear, timeline group, interact with this as well.
Then you should hear, instrument tracks and interact with this as well.
At this point you can move through the tracks with the up and down arrow
keys to hear the names of the tracks. If they are software instruments they
will already be named, but, if they are tracks you have created you will
need to name them as you creat them.
After finding the track you wish to edit, move to the proper place on the
timeline with the right and left arrow keys, or, play your project until you
find the spot where you wish to make your edit and press command-t to make a
split. Now you have 2 regiones with the same name. If you like you can
rename one of the regions by interacting with it and arrowing to that
option. If you just want to delete the region VO keys left and right arrow
between the 2 Regions until you are on the correct one then from the edit
menu press delete.
If you want to take out something from the middle of the track, each time
you press command-t you should have another split and another region.
You may want to do other things with these regions, you will want to
explore.
2. Adding a loop to your project in GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
1. You will want to find the place in your project where you want to add
your loop, by noting the timeline marking, or, playing your project until
you come to the place where you want to add your loop and note the timeline
markings with the left and right arrow keys.
2 Stop interacting with the arrange layout area.
4. open the loop browser with command-l or, from the control menu.
5. Find and interact with the Loop browser group.
6. Find the edit box type in your loop type and press enter and if it is
found a table will appear with your choices.
7. Arrow through the choices until you find the loop you want to use, you
can sample your loop with command-shift-l to start the sample and again to
stop sampleing. Now press command-c to copy the loop.
8. If your project is stopped at the place where you want your loop, press
command-v to paste your loop. If you are not sure, check your location with
the left and right arrow keys.
9. If it is not exactly where you want it, you can move the loop by using,
VO keys-command-accent, then the left and right arrow keys to move it where
you want it. You will hear the time line markings as you move.
3: Stretching a loop in GarageBand 6 with Voiceover.
When you place a loop in to a GarageBand 6 project it is only a few seconds
long, but, we can now with GarageBand 6 stretch a loop, like a drum track
for as long as you want.
Heres how.
1: After you have placed your loop in to your project in the time line,
make sure that the mouse is on the loop with VO keys-command-F5.
2: Now, press VO keys-command-shift-accent which will give you a layout
items resize options menu.
3: arrow down once to loop and press enter. You will hear resize loop.
4:Stretch or shrink the loop with the right and left arrow keys. You will
hear the timeline markings as you stretch or shrink your loop.
To move the loop to any place you choose on the timeline use,
VO keys-command-accent. As before, you will hear the timeline markings as
you move with the right and left arrow keys.
4: Moving media in to your GarageBand 6 project from the finder.
If your media is in iTunes you will need to move it to the finder by
interacting with the name of the file, pressing, VO keys-shift-m and
arrowing down to show in finder and pressing Vo keys-space bar.
Once your media is in the finder and selected, press command-c to copy, then
move to your GarageBand 6 project to the place on the timeline where you
would like your media to be placed and press command-v to paste.
5: Using the LCD group.
The LCD group was in earlier versions of GarageBand not accessible, but, as
it has become accessible in iTunes it is now accessible in GarageBand 6 and
it can be very helpful.
You must first of all choose what you want the LCD to show you and you can
choose this in The control menu.
Choose either,
Show tuner in LCD, keyboard command, command-f,
show time in LCD, keyboard command, command-shift-f,
show measures in LCD, keyboard command, command-option-f
show tempo in LCD, keyboard command, command-control-f.
You can also choose these from with in the LCD group.
When you choose and interact with summary after interacting with the group,
you will find a number of sliders which you may interact with to move you
through the timeline depending on which mode you have chosen.
I think the biggest changes in GarageBand 6 other than the much improved
accessibility is that things are grouped and that in its self makes
GarageBand 6 much easier to use.
We who have added information to this guide hope that it has been and will
be helpful.
