Daniel asks…
How do i upload a song i recorded in garage band and put into itunes to youtube?
anyway possible
ConnieManuel answers:
Right click the song in iTunes and then click ‘show in explorer’ that’s the file you want to upload to youtube. If you haven’t put it into itunes then you can just drag the file (i presume it’s a video) into the itunes library (yes just drag it on the word) but probably that won’t work. When you record somthing with a video camera you will usally get a RAW format, a format made just for the video camera, either the camera came with software that will help you ‘publish’/'export’ the video into a suitable format.
If it didn’t then go on google and search ‘*** to WMA’ or ‘*** to MP4′ without the quotes, also remeber to swap the *** with the file format that the camera recorded the video in.

ConnieManuel answers:
There is really only “1″ “single solution” for capturing streaming audio and video on the Mac. You can try free software that will do this and that, just the same you’ll need to lots of different programs; and figure out how on earth to make it work. If you have not gotten hip to www.applejaks.info you should give it a try! ! It downloads “streams”, in contrast to capturing through the browser, so in case the video or audio buffers when you are capturing it, it will not mess up the quality of the captured stream – just a perfect capture every time.It works on well. . . I’m pretty sure everything from YouTube stuff to Sidereel as well as internet radio music sites like Shoutcast, Spotify and Yahoo Radio – in a nutshell, I can’t think of a streaming site this does not work with. I’m pretty much using it for recording from www.streamblitz.com because they have all the Showtime & HBO miniseries for free which to me is truly awesome. It also records webcam (streaming) sessions like Skype & Frogcam in addition to online seminars & downloads all the sessions simultaneously & will name them separately which means you’ll know what is what.If your “fiscally challenged” then you can download the free plug-in’s, but they’ll let you test the full edition without spending a dime. {You can even|You can also|You are also able to} {tell it|select|choose|decide} {what|which} {file format|file type} {you want to|you would like to|you wish to} convert the {file|captured file} to, {so if you|if you|so when you} {want to|wish to|need to} convert {music|a song|a track} from YouTube to {Mp3|audio} only (on a Mac) then it will {just|basically} {send|transfer|export|import} them {straight to|right to|instantly to} {itunes|i-tunes} {if you want|if you would like|if you’d like|if you choose}. {Basically|Essentially|Fundamentally|In essence|In a nut-shell} it’s {like|the same as|pretty much like|about the same as} {Replay Media Catcher|Applians Replay Media Catcher|Applians software}, except {it’s|it is only|it’s only} for {Mac|Macintosh|Mac OS|Macintosh OS} {users|computers}. {I love|I really like|I enjoy|I totally dig|I’m in love with} Replay Media Catcher, but {this is the|this is by far the|this is without a doubt the} {closest|best|easiest} {solution|alternative} {I’ve found|I have found|I’ve been able to find} on our {Os|beloved OS|beloved Mac|beloved Mac OS|beloved Mac’s}.video} {recorder|capturing solution|capturer} {for|to get for|to use for} the {Mac|Mac OS|Mac OS X} that {I’ve found|I have found}, {I’m sure|I’m certain|I know|I am sure|I am certain} {there are|you will find|you can find|you’ll find} others, but I {don’t think|don’t believe|am doubtful} {there is|there’s|you’ll find|you’ll be able to find} {anything|anything at all|nearly anything|any “single” thing} {on the market|online|available} {like this|that does all this|that can do all this|that’s able to do all this} {for a|on a} {Mac|Mac OS|Mac Computer}.
Mark asks…
FL Studio? Garage Band?
Im Not sure Which one do you think is easier? Which one do you think makes better Music/ I own Both And I like the SOund Fl makes but Garage Band is simplier… im asking Because i have to chose between my Pc (which has FL) or My Brothers Mac (which Has Garage band)???? I really don’t care about anything else but which one do you prefer…. Tell Me why i should stick with one and not the other??? im leaning Toward FL right now???? COMENTS!!
Just one thing… I already have both… I am currently on a PC with FL studio… But i have a mac that was my brothers but its getting taken away.. i have both its my chose on witch one i choose though and i only care About MUSIC!!! and twilight .. of corse
ConnieManuel answers:
I would stay on the PC and use Sound FL.. I will also tell you what to be aware of with Mac since most people are in the dark… You could also try http://www.ubuntustudio.org which is a free OS with a bunch of free media tools.
PC=Variety of specs, options, quality, prices, vendors, support
Mac=One vendor, limited options, still more expensive. Look below for more information..
Today, Macs use a subset of PC hardware. Why spend extra to get the same CPU chips, graphics cards and OS X isn’t as secure as you think..
Don’t believe the lies that Macs are better than PCs at graphics/animation.. Dreamworks Animation http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/ under studio click on Technology of Animation, an independent film maker I know uses PCs, a graphic artist I used to know uses PCs also.
A number of PCs can also run OS X (Mac OS) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=os+x+on+pc&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=os+x+on+ as well just that Apple makes it illegal in order to get Market share.. The reason why Mac can run native Windows is because it is using a subset of PC hardware,
If you decide to buy a Mac for running Windows, you will still have to get the same virus/spyware protection, and run into the same issues as a regular PC.
Now is a Mac worth buying for OS X?
I say: NO… For the following reasons…
ADVANTAGES WINDOWS :
Aprox 90% of the market is Windows and most PCs have windows already pre-installed.
1) Some websites require Internet Explorer, to run IE on Mac you really get ies4osx which is the Windows version of IE running really buggy and illegal if you don’t have a legitimate copy of Windows.
2) Supports devices (printers and other things you hook into the computer).
3) More business software/games
4) Want the dock on OS X (Mac)? Google/yahoo rocketdock, objectdoc.
5) Used by businesses.
ADVANTAGES LINUX :
1) FREE (most versions are)
2) Install software by eitjher 1) Synaptic Package Manager, 2) Add/Remove 3) Opening a .deb or .rpm file (depending on distribution)
2) Like the Mac OS X effects? Go yahoo/google COMPIZ FUSION which can do any cool effect a Mac can do and many ore….

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3gkX9HDfEE (there is no flickering when you use it like on the video, not sure why the person has the flicker)
3) Mac OS X Doc? Google/yahoo Avant Window Navigator.Cairo Dock, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3rf5q_cairo-dock-mac-os-x-leopard-dock-on_tech
4) It is FASTERr/MORE SECURE to surf on the internet
5) Some Windows programs work with Wnehq/Crossover (also avail on Mac, but why pay $$$)

SECURITY
Mac OS X was hacked in 2006 less than 30 minutes, and within 2 minutes in a contest in 2008 . Linux and Vista were not hacked until another day when restrictions were lowered. Vista was next, and then Linux.
Macs are standardized with Cameras, if your Mac gets hacked, the hacker can turn on your camera with more ease.
Please Note: All OS’s have vulnerabilities.

VIRUSES
Mac OS X has viruses (and significantly on the rise), a friend of mine has a virused Mac. As more users use Macs, more viruses will come out for it. Especially when users think “they are safe”.

QUALITY/PROBLEMS
Contrary to belief, Macs are not better quality. Apple also has been changing suppliers to try to “lower the price” and thus lowering quality. Even with the lower prices, Macs still cost more, they spend a higher percent of budget trying to make it look pretty, and marketing.
Sample of problems: Overheating Macbooks, OS X- not responding to keyboard, some units with 16bit screens, etc. Apple statistics are misleading since Mac users with problem machines are more likely to go out and buy a new computer than PC users. Apple is lowering prices which means you can expect lower quality than in the past. Apple had switched the manufacturers producing parts. OS X also has problems slowing down.

Repairs are more expensive than PCs since the IMac, Mac Mini are compact units, and Apple charges a premium for their services. Some repairs can be done by another repair service but the compact design of the computer causes problems.
With an IMac, if the problem is with the monitor, the whole computer would have to be brought in.
IMac and Mac mini lack expansion.
PRICE
A similar equipped PC is much cheaper to purchase than Mac. Lets use Dell (but you can compare with another PC Brand if you like)

**(DESKTOP)
PLEASE NOTE: I compare Apple Mac’s vs Dells best deal. If you really want an all-in one the Dell all-in-one has more ram, wireless keyboard and mouse and equivalent to $400 for free making the Imac still more expensive when you matching specs. Personally I don’t think the All-in-Ones are a good choice, and consider them overpriced, lack expandability and repairs both more expensive and require the entire computer.
PS: Apple knows that they need to make Macintosh look different than PC so all Macs except the Mac Pro will not have a tower option. Apple’s low end lacks expandability but it makes the Mac “look different”, if Mac had a tower for low-end, more people would realize the similarities between the two.
Dell: (At The Moment) Specs Below costs $809
CPU: 2.4 GHZ Dell Inspiron QUAD (4 Processor) CORE

MEMORY: 3GB Ram
HARD DRIVE: 500 GB hard Drive
OPTICAL DRIVE: 16x DVD/CD Read/Writer
GRAPHICS: (upgrade to ) ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 128MB
The Mac Mini since it has no monitor, keyboard, mouse, very skimpy on options and setup and is not the best deal… The IMac is better price than the Mac Mini.
IMac ($1400)

Mary asks…
R&P: Garage rock anyone?
So someone earlier today recommended The Sonics… and I’m actually so in love right now. (also thanks to everyone else who answers that question with wonderful artists/albums, I’ve finally downloaded them all!) Anyway after looking into the genre I noticed that I actually liked a lot of garage rock without knowing it. My favorite Sonics song so far:
“Strychnine” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7Nffq0bOgE
Questions:
1) Favorite garage rock band? (for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_garage_rock_bands)
2) What’s your favorite genre/sub-genre?
3) What genre would you classify your favorite band into?
BQ1: favorite social networking site?
BQ2: do you tell the truth even when you lie?
BQ3: has a mysterious white van ever followed you? (apparently most taxis in puerto rico are like this… it was scary haha)
ConnieManuel answers:
Garage Rock: Decades before garage rock was synonymous with fake brother – and – sister bands or boarding-school alumni, the term meant nondescript American teens, and college kids desperately trying to imitate the Stones. It was everything rock n roll is supposed to be.
Louie Louie: The Kingsmen….The Rosette Stone of rock n roll. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsVXbV7w2hU
Wooly Bully: Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs. Strip-joint R&B taken out into the stratosphere by a guy wearing a turban. There’s a long running debate on what the words are, or mean, “Got a cold haddock’ is a possible for the opening line. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHF558u6Q_8
Psycho: The Sonics: drunken frat boys try to sing soul with gloriously sloppy results. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-_0V0IXEkc
Dirty Water: The Standells: As close as the Yanks got to the snarl and strut of The Rolling Stones.
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqKHqWaTv9g
You’re Gonna Miss Me: The 13th Floor Elevators: surf-guitar + crazy electric jug + the punkiest vocals before Iggy Pop came along = perhaps the most intense garage record. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlOBMC1RLw0
96 Tears: ? & The Mysterians: the record that definitivel proved how much power one single note can have. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgfnCTp3p7U
Hey Joe: The Leaves: Byrds jingle-jangle meets lysergic feedback freakout. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNmu3z8XEzw
Last Time Around: The Del-Vetts: total Yardbirds rip-off, but when the results are this fuzzy and wild who cares? Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSluwC6p_J4
Psychotic Reaction: Count Five: Even groovier than the group’s stage apparel, which was no mean feat, as the Five all wore Dracula capes. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9a4W2FZnpc
Action Woman: The Litter: the venom of the Stones gets teleported “out there” by one of the great guitar wig-outs of the 1960′s. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2dCjHcfDpo
BQ1: I would have to say facebook only because that is the only place I keep in touch with family, and then there is here.
BQ2: If I tell you the truth that I lied to you then I have told the truth.
BQ3: no
take care

Sharon asks…
Is there a program like Garage band on Windows? See description?
I have Ableton Full and Finale Full but those make the instrument sound very fake and digital (Not necessarily bad)
I listened to a garageband recording here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D70wN90aeLM&feature=feedu
I don’t hate making digital sounding music but I like when it sounds like a real orchestra or band playing.
How did they make it sound so real?
Are there any programs like that on Windows?
I know my question is hard to understand, I’ve never been good with words, sorry :(
Thanks for the help :D
