So is there any way to export without the dead space?

How do I move the cycle region bar? The zoom thing is covering the end.

Thanks!

you're welcome, good luck

I'm having the same problem here (I make music for games as well).

I have the loop region stopping after 16 bars, and I've moved the end of song marker to match this. This should make the track about 30 seconds on the dot. However when I export I'm getting a 37 seconds track with all the extra reverb playing out for 7 seconds.

I don't know what the latest is but I use to be able to use loop region to select the section of project to be exported/shared (before GB 10) but not now. Has there been an update? Am I doing something wrong?

Any help appreciated.

GarageBand does no longer honor the Cycle Region on export, if the song has reverb or echo. Then a few seconds will be added automatically, for the effects to die away. Only ringtones will be exported at the exact length without added silence.

Edgar posted a work-around somewhere.

The quick-and-dirty work-around to trim the song to an exact length is to export the song, reimport it, cut off the added silence, and then select the trimmed region and add it to the Loop Browser. (File > Add Region to Loop Library).

The loop audio file will have the exact length. You'll find it in your user library:

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles/

Thank you again Ieonie, well, I'll manage but I urging it's a step back. I daresay your name is synonymous with Apple the world over by now.

🙂 😁 You are welcome, Nick!

You see! This is part of the bloody problem! How the **** did urging get in there? That was suppose to be 'think' You've got to be so careful with this spell 'corrector'. The software is getting too **** smart for... Everybody's good. I preferred Microsoft word where it would underline a bad spelling or dubious gramma... After all, I do make lot's of mistakes.

Anyway I digress too far

The spell checker has a mind of its own - like bewitched. It's casting spells, instead of checking the spelling 😁

You have fifteen minutes to edit your post after submitting it. But that barely suffices to remove all the typos that the spell checker created.

if you don't like the corrector, you can turn it off:

Edit menu->Spelling and Grammar->Correct Spelling Automatically

(though i've never had the problem with the new forum software, it has its own spell checker that doesn't auto correct anything here)

He he... By the way the censored words weren't as bad as what is probably implied by the censorship.

Thanks Hang Time... Not sure I can do that on ipad but will probably look into it
