Is this part of GB 3 or what? I have a few demos I need to import to DP.
So far can't export all loops at once individually comped from GB. Some help with that would also be appreciated. Don't want to have to buy Logic.

Thanks

The only way that I have found to do this for a client is my taking the song and muting all tracks except one and exporting that track out of GB as a Aiff file naming it appropriately. When I have bounced all the tracks I take those into DP at the tame tempo. It has worked great so far.. Im sure there are other ways.. this was just the fastest for me at the time.
Cheers

Jeff

OK Jeff yea.... Wondered if GB 3 allows one command to get this out instead of the "one track at a time deal" \\Thanks

Don't think you can export the loops directly from GB3. You can enable whatver tracks and export to iTunes. One or whatever combo you want.
You can of course use IAC, set up in / outs, and record directly into DP.

Is there a way to eliminate the clicks at edit points before export?

I tried it and it was so bad I had to run Ray Gun to try and supress the clicks.

Garage band is pretty bad!

GB is pretty bad LOL muddy as heck too. Clicks, hmm I didn't notice any clicks, though I dont fart around with editing any loops in GB, or DP for that matter. Just an occasional VI sound mostly. Its suprising that the drums is not too bad. Sounds better than some rompler packages.
I'm in no way an expert in GB, I see it as a toy for quick composition if anything.
Anyway, sounds like you got a handlful for a client?

No, I wouldn't suject a client to this. Just wanted to get a few demos off into DP for serious rebuildage. Like that word?

On the drums, I was shocked when I put up a loop on my main monitors and heard hum in the bites. So.. drums are crap too.

Guess I'll have to find another demo software for my laptop future.
I have DP loaded and it works great on the lap but I will need to find a little roll up controler keyboard for the road I can slip in my laptop case.

Anyway, thanks for the input.

K, rebuildage.. me likes

I thought you were trying to import a clients demo.

Drums, well I would'nt even think about the loops. Try the MIDI side, you can invoke it to be a VI in a sense. You do have to deal with the efx however. It even has a china cymbal, and snare roll/buzz. That is hard to find for what $40 (half of iLife -if you had to buy it).
Using it as a composition app, its not too bad. Nice and simple. Man, sounds like I'm pushing GB now

Here is another strangness. The export to iTunes and re import to DP really screws up the tone. Anyone have any clues to where the tone gets mangled?

When I take all of the tracks mixed in GB it seems much better. Individually, it takes hits sonically and I have experienced spikes on various loops where bits of the same loops are used and cut together then exported. Don't hear any snaps in GB until export.

Ideas?

I've used GerageBand for quick loop based stuff (paticularly when deadlines loom !), it's a great programme for getting results quickly (some of which have happily made their way onto TV etc) ...
and I've haven't yet found that the sound changes when exporting / importing to DP - i usually do the MIDI tracks, arranging and mixing in DP ...

But I do find that GB is much better at transposing and speed changing Apple Loops than DP - so I do that first in GB - any thoughts ? am I maybe not doing it right in DP ?

It is a drag to have to import / export a track at a time - I seem to remember reading somewhere in the stuff about DP5 that it's going to be able to directly import Apple Loops (like Logic), but I guess not the GB VI's ? (unlike Logic).
