You have no idea how much this helps man. I've been wanting to know how to do this for over a year now and couldn't figure out any good solutions. Thanks a bunch.
@jazzy3548 You can alternately right click the track in iTunes and 'Show in Finder'. You should be able to drag and drop from the Finder window. Hope this helps.
So id I like the way my tracks blend together, but they're in the red, should I lower them all so that none are in the red (even though the song is very quiet), export it, and then put it back in and boost the master volume.
This was pretty much the only problem I've been having with recording. Now I can record my songs at decent volume and get famous. :) Thank you so much.
I actually put the AU Peaklimiter on the master track of the actual song, not the exported song. Works much better than this method. I was having issues with gain and crunch sounds, and if you just put the limiter there, in the actual track, it works fine.
here's the thing. I've done all that you said, and when i export the song at 7 or 8 decibels, the song (when exported in iTunes) crunches at some points. It seems like its gain is too great, and muffles small parts of the track. How do i fix THAT?
Thank you so much!! Thanks to this tutorial, I was able to salvage a student's project (an interview). The volume was so low and barely could be heard. However, your tips just helped me edit it and save the day!! Thank you!!
Thank. you. so. much. for this well explained, easy to follow video. Followed your directions to the letter and the sound on my song boosted ten-fold. Great video! +1
This has been flagged as spam show
When you bring the song baack in and export it for the second time, should you have auto-normalize on or off?
Also, wouldn't Garageband just quiet the volume of the second export, again?
Please get back to me, as soon as possible. :)
