Hi Ginny, I have found this as well but what does vo call quantize? can you do anything with any of the other effects than drumkits or am I way off base? As I understand it and I have not read the tutorial but followed the drag and drop thread, you need to get the two windows adjacent to one another so that you can carry something from one to annother with no obstruction. it is the obstruction that kills. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ginny" <ginnyo@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 11:29 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] garage band updates OK, I'm not ready to do a guide yet, because this might prove to be info which no one cares about-or which everyone else already knows. <grin> I am often the last to figure out things. I have concluded that from within a track, one can click "editor" then right arrow over to "effects" and then click the arrow button. This should allow many effects to pop up including the ability to quantize" your track-though it is not called quantize. It's also possible to add certain amp simulations, EWS, compressors, reverbs, filters, and distortion from this same spot. I am happy to go into further detail with anyone who is interested in this bit, though, like I say, I might be the last to figure it out. <grin> The great news is that we can create our own loops from the drum kits because we can quantize. Now, here's something I'd like to ask any of you who are willing to have an adventure. I spent some time working through the steps of VaShaun's wonderful tutorial on dragging and dropping. And when I contacted AppleCare to ask the GB tech support about this, she said that we were able to drag and drop the loops from the finder into garage band projects. I couldn't do it, but I thought maybe one of you wonderfully smart folks might try this. Go to finder, library, audio, apple loops, apple, apple loops for garage band. See if you can paste any of those loops to into a garage band project. I tried three times and couldn't do it, but I think it could be me. > > Click on the link below to go to our homepage. > http://www.icanworkthisthing.com > > Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. > //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover > > Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to > macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web > interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover >
