[Geotubest]

Hi Chris, Thanks for putting this up! Most helpful and has saved me a ton of time in trying to figure this out. You're very kind for doing this. Again, thanks.

[slimshadyroxxx92]

gosh THANKS SO MUCH



[tha3immortals]

you kinda look like Sylar from heroes ;)

[FattyArbuckle1981]

No sequencer? Do you really have to tap the keys like a drum while recordng, Or am I missing something? Cause that seems kinda lame. Guess I could sample from FL studio or something, but I don't like the preset samples...Anybody?

[ipod832]

hey chris i'm new to garageband and don't really know what to do.

can u make a video to make a cool hip hop beat

[aadmharris]

Im new to Garageband.....just got my mac. Anyway, I know how to create my beats, like the one you just demonstrated, but how do I save them to bring up and "drag" like the others?

[Tidnull]

thanks for walking us through! i found some awesome software instruments for free. search ben boldt software instruments. 

[JosephCee]

dude! how did you get it to loop perfect like that?? every time i try to extend it like how you did where you copied and pasted, it always gets off beat as the loop progresses. how did you copy and paste it like that?? please help.

[JPinky266]

Thank you!! This is the ONLY helpful video I've found on Youtube. I thought I was completely uncreative, but this has helped me so much! Post more please! (:

[girozone1]

It took about 10 vids or so until I got yours that explains how to make a beat. thanks. Love the trick of bringing down the tempo that's just tremendously helpful.

[jdsongwriter]

Thanks for the video, the one thing that I get stuck is when I loop a 2nd track to an existing track and locking in the tempo. So, if you got a verse and you what to change the drums for the chorus, I have trouble locking in the 2nd drum loop. Any suggestions?

[Austinramirez1111]

THANKYOU

[JeanJean421]

Hell Yeah Your Dope! Thanks Man !(8

[ChartProductions]

Made a Britney spears sometimes hip hop remix. Check out the preview on chartproductions page

[djdede]

Nicely done and easy to understand.

But maybe you take a screen recorder software to capture your screen actions ;)

[byrnesbs]

Comment on the instrumental I made on my home page. please

[Markanthony32102009]

You should use a screen recording application. "ScreenFlow"

[Mega10Messi]

u make it look so easy

[EWColaCanada]

Does GarageBand come installed with every "new" Mac?

[TheObeseMermaid]

@EWColaCanada yea

[gibsonlover777]

@EWColaCanada Yes you just need to search applications.

[kourii]

@EWColaCanada garageband comes installed with every mac since at least 3 years

[beyourself266]

@EWColaCanada yes

[YumeYasuu]

Cool. I'd only buy a mac only for garageband ._.

Im maybe getting one ^_^

[BIGJERMS18]

Finally, someone that really knows how to use garageband. All these kids are just dropping loops saying they making beats. Thanks for the tutorial

[mcalann]

you are a life saver!

[goldandapager88]

thx this helped a ton

[JumpTechProductions]

@DTETV,

All you have to do is put your mouse at the beginning of the sound clip and a little arrow

Should show up. Then just Drag it towards where the notes are.

[DTETV]

quick question how do i cut the beat so that when i use the loop option the silence isnt looped from the beginning ive tried splitting it but it still wont line up

[MosquitoLounge]

@DTETV

Sorry dude, i dont quite understand the quest. could you elaborate a bit more????

[Koenigzkind]

@DTETV If you want splitt the beat hit Apple and T..yah a ryme xD

or hit edit and then split ^^..i hope you mean this

[m0gulsk1er]

@DTETV u havta cut down the clip from either the start or end and then loop

[JosephCee]

@DTETV OMFG i've had that same problem for ever! help!

[MRxDAZZLE]

[bgra17]

Hey i made my own song on garageband tell me what you think

[andremaion]

awesome! tks a lot!

[JCinxcess]

awesome video man this helped me out a ton. i really appreciate it.

[stewie100]

awesome man, until just recently i've been just using loops in my songs. now i'm working with playing my own loops with a midi keyboard that i bought with my mac, it's actually easier then using the mac keyboard. the only thing i don't make up is what your showing, which is the beats and drums. but i'm gonna start.

[saudidude]

Thanks! I never knew about the tempo option! Thank you!

[MysteryDrifter69]

Thanks for the tutorial, we have these at school, now I can finally NOT use loops

[wil828]

Thank you very much this was a great help to me, like you said everyone one else just seems to show you how to loop ready made beats.

[khandker94]

dude, so far u r the only guy that knows how to explain about garageband.

[loggins81]

You fucking rock dude!!!!! Like seriously, this is such a reliever of stress on my creativity now!!!! Thanks man!!!!

[chessdude67]

We want more! (Please :-)

Tomorrow is 2010 Happy New Year!

[svendavidsson]

Great!

[scruga]

this helped really much, you were right about the other tutorials! This was exactly what i needed.

[luckyjinxer]

FINALLY a tutorial by someone who is not a 5 year old kid. KEEP IT UP

[happywithmymac]

my tuts arent bad... im 14

[Siglojunior]

Great tutorial :D

[RODERIKPROD]

thanks!,that was a nice way to explain...

[JDzUniverse]

lol "when everyone just shows you how to drag and drop loops" serious man

[MosquitoLounge]

Hey everyone! To start...3/4 timing can be created when you start a new project. It will give you the option. If you are going to play with musical typing, you can also just simply "play" in any time you would like.

Yes, plug-ins can be used on garage band. You just need to get the proper adaptors for your computer and it will automatically read the plug-in (gotta love macs!) Thanks so much for the nice comments, they are greatly appreciated. There will be more videos to come!

[mizkish]

@MosquitoLounge this really helped out man thxs

[juliu7]

Great tutorial! Is it possible to create 6/8 and 3/4 beats with garageband? If so, I'd love to learn how. Keep up the good work, it's not given to everyone to be a good teacher.

[JCareno]

Thank you very much. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Tutorial was right on.

[mnlkthms]

can plug ins be used with garage band

[darthnihilus5000]

for some reason my garageband does not have all of the instruments that you have, im not sure why it doesn't have everything. i figured that it should have everything because it came with the computer. do you know anything about this?

[chessdude67]

Hi Chris,

I know you said you are a drummer. Question: Can we type drum notation on a staff in Garageband? Will it play it if so? I called Applecare, and they didn't know. 

Anyway, I did read drum notation and thought it would be cool if I could write in beats on a staff.

Hope to see more videos.

Tim

[MosquitoLounge]

Glad I could help...lol.

Thanks for helping the others with that!

[ustoube]

I can't turn down tempo.. theres no such thing for me. I'm talking about 2:20.

[ustoube]

sorry found it.. control > show tempo in lcd

[MosquitoLounge]

Hey guys.

So sorry I haven't posted any more vids yet. I work non stop...lol. I promise I will get to it as soon as I can. In the mean time, ask as many questions as you want, I always have time for them!

[erfansvideos]

thanks bro, helped out a lot

[chessdude67]

Chris, please make more garageband videos. We rookies need the help. Just have have fun and we will watch and learn.

Thanks!

[MosquitoLounge]

If it is the Metronome that keeps clicking, click on control (at the top) and un-check the metronome. This will stop the clicking while you are recording. If this isn't the problem, please let me know

[pockeo1]

how do you take the beat off because we are making a video and it keeps on clicking

[chessdude67]

Do you also use an apple keyboard? Thanks again!

Please do more videos! :-) I didn't hear back from you?

peace.

Tim

[chessdude67]

Very Helpful! Thank you.

Are you using 08 or 09?

Glad I found your video!

Thanks again

[TheGroovygirl83]
