Let me save you all some time. "Command + T" makes the cut. You're welcome.

[tonynavarro]

Thank you, I was trying to cut 4 seconds of a soundtrack, and I was having a hard time understanding GarageBand. You are the Man!

[Poeticwonder]

Thanks for making this simple tutorial, Mike. It helped me during one of those last-minute "need to do asap" moments, after not really using Garageband at all for many years.

[heyitsjaee]

my friend & i were trying to figure out how to cut for like 30 minutes 😫 you saved us !!

[AsassinX]

Thank You!! Very helpful. It was my first lesson in GarageBand ever.

[kaylanek]

Bless your soul 🥲 needed this badly haha

[GuitarStudioA]

You're succinct, make your points very well!

[TheTyAlbert]

Thank you I honestly didn’t think there was a way to do it

[chad]

Also could you tell me how to merge the tracks that I have just cut?

[slush]

If you're actually interested in creating music, it's very important to pay attention to absolutely everything he says in the video. For those who are commenting "ill save some you some time, here's the command", that's incredibly rude to the creator who made this video, who may i add, literally just taught YOU how to cut the track.

Do you have the same tutorial for iPad? This is excellent!

[hameedcole]

Informative video. I have a dj drop audio file..5 different types, in the single file.. I have ‘Chopped’ OR ‘Cut’ the files, to separate them..
How do I, export them individual?
Appreciate your help.😊

[Chloe]

this is so amazing and so easy, thank you! "Command + T"

Is there a trim limit? I was trying to take out some breathing but I could only go so far. It’s pretty short perhaps I need to recut it, make it whole, and try again?

[andrewr]

What if after cutting, I want the audio to the right of the cut to automatically line up with the left, so there isn't this gaping hole in the middle of the track? Audacity automatically does this. Is there a setting I can turn on in Garage Band that will perform this?

[matyas_drums]

Hi a have a question is it possible to cut drums parts? Like snare, kick, cymbals...

[jeremyburroughsnetwork]

Is it possible to alter or cut out the drums or part of an instrumental even if you imported a track into GarageBand from YouTube??? I really need to know this..

[leth]

This is doing my head in. You are giving great instruction but my system does not behave as you are describing. I hit cmd T and it doesn't cut. I hit cmd V to paste and it doesn't paste.I have a drum beat that I created and want to repeat it over and over and I cannot splice it cleanly. Help!

[unknown-fyfs]

Please respond, how do you edit a specific region of a track you trimmed? For instance, if I wanted to raise or lower the volume on one of the regions you edited, how would i do it? I really need to know and thank you

[DigiDestined]

Um... yeah, I have music that's not meeting each other at the halfway point between the lines. What do you do then?
