[GaragebandandBeyond]

@whatabeautifulscene Let me guess, you wrote that comment before you actually watched the video.....

[whatabeautifulscene]

@GaragebandandBeyond Well, while I was watching it. But then I realized you used the AAC encoder. I'd still go with the 16 bit lossless mixdown, personally. But my apologies.

[AlexiTheWildchild]

Hey there...eee i wanted to ask if this works for other programs then Garageband e.g. Cubase or magix? =)

[SamMusical]

this is exactly what i want wanted to know

[jaywebbay]

you spelled opportunity wrong

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@jaywebbay And why is that worth posting a comment about?

[jaywebbay]

@GaragebandandBeyond so u dont look stupid in front of thousands of viewers....

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@jaywebbay Too late! LOL and you're the first person to even mention it.

[jaywebbay]

@GaragebandandBeyond yea i was rewatching it and noticed it for a split second. helpful vid tho

[RobertPowerNS]

YOU ARE A GOD . thank you so much ive been having this problem for months now

[3ogitator]

You don't mention the normalize function in the Preferences panel. In either step, do you use this in your exporting?

[ThatGuy640]

If you import a song from iTunes and edit it in garageband and save the changes you made does saving it change the song in your iTunes library for example if i edit a song from my iTunes library and save when exiting garageband does it change the file in my iTunes library??

[faaradar]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks alot. You mentioned the other settings in AUpeaklimiter (attack and release?). I know nothing about them?

[faaradar]

Thanks alot. I did not know you had this one.

[Pink3Yellow]

Thank you!

[hotlion81]

Why not just use this PeakLimiter on the original project master track? Why create a separate master project? And in the original project, keep levels down?

In my recordings, I always have problems with dynamics... soft parts are way too quiet and then that one loud part will totally blow into the red zone and distort. So I used a PeakLimiter on thos individual tracks with minus a few db and that seemed to work but overall, I don't feel like I'm really doing this right... what do you think?

[tomlarmar]

!!!!!!!!!!! THANK U SO MUCH.. I BEEN Record Song About A Year Now And This Just Help Me So Much... Follow Me On Twitter At @Corleone_OTM

[AllistairMusic]

Hey lewin, I have a question. I'm doing all that you said in the vid, but my song is still not loud enough! i want it to be as loud as every other song in iTunes ( just like everyone else does, that's why this video was made) and i can't shove the peak limiter too high or it distorts the track, you know? My actual GB project is set at 0 db, and all the instruments are low so it never touches the red. then i put in a news project, and add peak limiter, but it''s just not close enough.

Please help

[AllistairMusic]

thank you so much, seriously, you helped me out tons.

[themannycortes]

THANK YOU!

[FarhadTv]

Hi, I have a problem with garageband. I have a karaoke music, but every time when I record my voice, the karaoke music quality changes. How can I keep the karaoke music as it is, but change my own voice accordingly?

Thank you

[DomTimothy13]

much love man! you helped me out so much!

[jdiz92]

this video honesstly helped thanks

[seerskater]

is there anyway to do it without the peak limiter? right now im working on this song that has a lot of intentional distortion and the peak limiter fucks it all up.

[nikolaisaskator]

hey lewin today i stumbled upon a much easier way to get the proper volume...

choose your track after its in itunes, and go to file>get info>options and set your volume. im not an expert but if you could confirm it will work that'd be great.

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@nikolaisaskator That's not really "Mastering" the track. I'd call it a trick to get the volume up, but not the proper method.

[2wayplebney]

Excellent. Very helpful.

[TheNicolaj4720]

THANK YOU A LOT!!!!



[andthenow1]

i recorded an interview on my macbook pro using garage band and a mic. (i think i chose "podcast", "no effects", and chose my usb mic as the source.) but the volume on the final product is low. how can i increase the volume of something i've already recorded?

[Chrelizorter]

I wish i could put to words how greatful i am for this video. May your fields grow pentifully and your children be of great strength.

[myostrichlegs]

thankyou so much man, this video helped me a fucking shit load and you really made my day :) thanks so much

[JFluxRAP]

Such great help man! Much appreciated

[WelcomeSummerRain]

Thanks a million for sending me here lewin :)

[chrissteinlejr]

Great job! This helped a lot!!

[aadmharris]

Thank you so much man!! I just compared my past import to iTunes to the one I just did......Huge difference!!

[mikemobley84]

Do you add any effects to the final track or just the master?

P.S. you vids are always super helpful........... thank you!

[londoninit]

thankyouuuuuuuu :)

[Fotophrame1]

You sir, are a genius. Thank you so much for all your video uploads. I appreciate you work! =)

[mitchyyob777]

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@mitchyyob777 Hey, I'm really glad that it worked well for you! Thanks for the comment!

[yungse7enlegendary]

[06davidwaterman]

"A lot more high" lol

[KITTYLUULUU66]

thx!!!!!

[jdsongwriter]

Thanks! great tip!

[TavisMinner25]

One of the BEST tutorial videos I've ever seen on youtube. Thanks so much dude!

[Guitarfreak2991]

ok i do this and if i have a track that is panned to the right it isnt panned to the right when i drop the AIFF file in a new window. please help! i cant figure this out

[baiken22]

is there any reason you compress it the final time? or can you leave it uncompressed?

[AlicexBrandonxCullen]

omigosh thank you!!!!!!!!! 

[santoneeldhar]

I found great result by using the peak limiter. One more question, I saw that I was able to use it while recording the vocal to increase the gain as oppose exporting the track and then importing the in anew project. This allowed me to just raise the vocal. Do you see anything wrong with this method? Thanks for saving me a couple hundred dollars for the pre amp and compressor.

[jonoisawitness]

thanks man good tips :)

[musicccoe]

You are the man right now dude! nice job on this vid! really cleared up somehting thats been making me crazy for half my new album!! THANKS AGAIN!

[varvorines]

I use to use peak limiter but I find If I can eliminate peaks in each actual track which is a tedious process, over and over again to see where I can reduce frequencies, pan or reduce volume in a track, it helps the over all volume increase. Lot of staring at the green to see how far it shoots up and try to get an even volume. By not using limiter or compressor, I retain as much resolution as possible. It takes hours or even days but I think worth it.

[brianbrockhoff]

I'm excited to try this! This has been a huge frustration since I've started using Garageband. Thank you!

[andreasg83]

Great, man! First let me say thanx for all the great videos, it's really awsome. And this is the same stuff I've been trying to work with too to make songs sound louder in the final master. Question: Did you turn off the auto-normalizer in Properties>Advanced settings before doing this, as in meaning auto-normalizer was not activated? Cause if the auto-normalizer is on when I export it automatically can pull down the final volume if my final volume is above the settings standarized by GB. Thanx

[dipsetgarcia]

i have a question well i record rap vocals and the instrumentals on one tracc i was wonderin if any of the garageband jam paccs work

[dbhammond]

Okay, I gave this a try tonight and it worked wonders.;-) Now this track is as loud as commercial cd's and downloads. I was able to turn up the gain 6.3db and it still sounds pretty dynamic and LOUD. Beyond that the cymbals started pumping and it will not sound transparent if you squash it too much. Thanks for the helpful vid, this solved my exact problem.;-)

[dbhammond]

That was awesome! Thanks so much for your help! I can't wait to try this at home...

[stereocomets]

thanks A LOT!

[SingToMeJuneBug]

Wow thanks so much! Thanks for taking the time and answering my question! Btw, do you have any recordings of your band out there on myspace or something? I would love to listen!

[ukeattitude]

Thank you very much, I'll try as soon as I can! Thank you again

[davecerv]

Wow this is awesome man! your great!

[FRITO88]
