Hey Guys,
im from germany and im just mixing and recording some songs in my free time with garage band 11.
When im recording my Voice and im using a reverb for it, i just can set the loudness of the reverb. but i want to set the lenght of it, i want to ask you guys how i can do that?
thanks a lot
GarageBand (Mac) '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Hi, walkerfromg,
Set the Track Reverb to "Manual" for your vocal track. Then click the icon to the left, to reveal the manual settings and adjust the Reverb Time. Doesn't that work?

Hey Léonie
thanks for your quick response.
you're right, i also just know this way of extending the reverb length, but i downloaded a week ago the new version of garageband and i dont know, maybe i just cant find it or apple took this tool out.
there is just this:
and here i cant extend the reverb like in garageband'09 in your picture 😟
with the reverb at the regulator(right) i can do reverb. but its too short i want to extend it, if you know what i mean.. i hope that my english is not too bad to explain my problem 😁
Sorry, your post said GarageBand '11, and did not mention the new GarageBand 10.
For the new GarageBand 10.0 I have not found any duration settings either. Have you tried, if the "Reverb" automation curve helps to extend the duration? For me, it sounds like it does.
Or create your tracks in the old GarageBand '11 - I hope, you did not delete it - the upgrader will have moved the GarageBand '11 application to a subfolder of applications (Programme). Set the track settings as you want them, in GarageBAnd '11, and then open the project in the new GarageBand 10.0. That should set everything exactly as you want it.
oh, im sorry léonie, i mixed up 😁
currently i just have this one garageband application on my mac and i think that the old garageband was deleted by itself. i remember that i had two garageband icons in the folder after installing , but when i restarted my mac there was just 1 garageband icon 😟 can i download the old garageband version additionally?
okay, i tried your recommendation and it realy extented the reverb a lot, thank you very very much léonie 😀
but nevertheless i will try to download the old garageband application, because in my opinion its just not the same as the setting in the old garageband. it just sounds much better than in the newer version. i dont get, why they changed it so crass. 😟
i have another question, its almost the same content 😕 how is it about the echo? in the older version, i could easily change the type of the echo, for example in which tact it should be or how much it should be repeated and so on.. oh, I wish it was still as easy as before!!! 😢
oooooh léonie, you are such an angel i found the old garageband in an folder and it works!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, im soooooo happy i cant explain it to you haha!! 😀😀😀😀 thank you very much!!! ➕
Gern geschehen! 🙂 Take good care of the old GarageBand '11 and make sure you back up your system as it is now, just in case!

The Smart Controls will allow you to change some effects on a track, but the available effects will depend on the patch you selected. Get yourself HangTime's marvellous Effect Finder - this will help you to find out, which patches will have which effects: Download here: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/File%20Pages/DownloadsGB.html
For the echo you can also use the automation curve on the track, just like for Reverb.
