**Note- I am working with Persist who a verified an issue with the new versions of BB manager that when you export a Beat Buddy midi file from the new manager it messes the midi file up and makes it un-editable in some DAWS and GB is one of those. But once you find that directory make a shortcut for that directory and place on your desktop -and from then on it is easy peasy. Garageband stores it in a directory that is hard to find.

Read the GB2MIDI app instructions carefully on how to find that AIF file and its directory. It places the newly created midi file in the same directory as the AIF file- right next to it with the same name. This app literally converts an AIF file to a midi file that you can then import right into BeatBuddy. The back end to find the AIF file GB creates and to convert it to Midi is more complicated with a few specific steps below.ĭownload the free app GB2MIDI (google it). Then highlight that merged track and select “add to loop library” in the edit menu and name the loop something you will remember so you can find the AIF file it creates later. Grab C1 and Drag to C4- make sure ALL notes are highlighted so they all move with the root note.) Next Select/Highlight the Bass and drum track together and then use the JOIN command in the edit menu to merge the tracks into one. (This is cool because when you find the ROOT note when you Drag up you will see the Letter of the root note as you drag and then just let it go when you get it above E3.

Change the Bass Key by selecting all notes in that track and dragging them ALL up to the E3 and above Range so BB can see the bass notes. Delete all tracks except bass and drum track. You will see it import all instrument tracks.

So if anybody can shed some light on how to chop up a midi song file and export in bits, please help.Īs I said, I use a Mac but also have VMWare Fusion with a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Mac, so can use Windows at a push. I even tried Cubase, that won’t export a selection either. It seems pretty powerful but has a very quirky interface and try as I might I can’t find a way to export a selection of midi notes as a file. So can anybody suggest a nice easy to use way with minimum learning curve, to load up a midi song file, tweak the drum patterns and chop up/export the file sections so I can use them in BB Manager to create BB songs? I would much prefer to spend my time pricing my instrument.

I have Logic Pro X which can save a selected part of a midi file from the editor but do I really have to use such a big monster for such a small task? I don’t really want to spend the next x months learning to use some huge DAW, the idea behind buying BB was as a backing tool for our guitar/vocal duo. I too use a Mac and am struggling to find an intuitive, easy to use midi editor to use for chopping up some midi files I have found/bought of complete songs, and making song section parts suitable for use in BB. 7.1.I have seen a couple of posts (mostly from ash…) about using Reaper as the tool to use on a Mac for editing midi drum files. Me? Very fussy, so I do this sort of thing all the time, it's become second nature. I suppose it all depends how fussy you are about the result. And, if you use the DAW carefully, you can produce a 'humanised' track, rather than a robotic one. Read the documentation and if it's there you'll find it.īetter to do it in the DAW, as 1) things stay 'on the beat', 2) you'll have better control over what you do, 3) anything you do is reversible and 4) you still have an original MIDI file to go back to if it all goes pear-shaped.Īnd if you have some decent virtual instruments with your DAW you'll probably be able to get better sounds and effects into yor backing. Cubase does it with a couple of key presses and a mouse click or two. 7.1.3: Export MIDI with tempo changes to GarageBandĪny decent DAW will have a Tempo Track feature that will let you alter tempo.
GARAGEBAND EXPORT MIDI SCORE MAC OS X
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 // MacBook Pro // 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 // 256GB SSD I know this ain't no GB forum :-} but I can't find any GB site that has this info.


If it's GarageBand that is overlooking that data somehow, I was hoping a fellow Sibelius/GB user would know what to do? Since I don't have another DAW to check it, I'm not entirely sure what's in my midi file. I'm wondering if that data is normally included by Sibelius? Or do I need to set an option somewhere to include tempo adjustments in the Sib midi output. So the whole song reverts to straight ahead at one tempo. When I export my score as MIDI and drag that file into GarageBand to add vocals, it doesn't retain the "rit…" and "accel…" or other tempo data. Does anyone else port Sibelius MIDI tracks into GB?
