GARAGEBAND help please.

[Koki]

New to mac and to this forum.

I love Mac's garage band and I have composed great stuff with it. I have a problem....

I wanted to download some free soundeffects, as I am scoring a film with garageband. I downloaded a few wave sound effects, and when I go and place these short clips in the time line of garageband...they always sound sped up!.

Could anybody help?

Garageband needs the audio to be in a specific AIFF format for it to work properly with the tempo of the project.

The way I do it is with Apple Sountrack Loop Utility, which cuts up a sound file into dozens of little chunks which are used to match the tempo of the sound file to the tempo of the project.

I found the download page. See next post.

Ignore what I said: I found it here:

ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/Apple_Loops_SDK_1.1.dmg.bin

It's actually a Software Developer's Kit that is available free from apple's site. It includes the Soundtrack Loop Utility with it. 17MB

When installed, you will find it in your Applications/Utilities directory.
