[vr2revolve]

Thnx big O..very helpful ..part 3 pls

[wiggywonka]

infinitely helpful, thank god for the internet

[pherchof]

thank´s hermano me ayudo mucho tu video!!!!

[amicharski]

How do I make a intro? I have the 3.0 version.

[mowgli773]

hey my track editor is different from the one u showed. it is the newest version i just got the upgrade. if i want to edit the pitch how can i do it?

[bodleiano]

the best and clearest intro to gb. thank you! your attention to detail and care are appreciated... please do an intro for loop-based projects using the virtual instruments that come with it.

[Micben123]

Where's tutorial 3? Would love to see it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

[coddaam]

is it just me or should you be able to overlay track pan and track pan?

[MrAtomickitten]

Thanks for the tuts. I reckon a really quick demo of the change you've just made would help reinforce what's going on. Esp. with ducking and panning.

[tlthomps01]

I found the trumpet sound but I would also like to have a trombone sound. Where or how do I go about that? Thanks.

[playstationfan9431]

this helped thanks

[adisario2004]

thanks.

[adisario2004]

veeery in depth explanation....to in depth

[MyVideoHubOnDell]

Hello Murry,

I just want to know what version of GarageBand you used in this video.

Thanks.

[tucotuti]

thanks!

[avocadomilk]

i don't think its necessary to make a new track to get rid of custom volume/pan. you can just un-highlight the little blue light next to "Track Volume"/"Track Pan" and voila, volume and pan controls are un-ghosted.

[meowey55]

oh k thanks next time i won't use the head phones but i only use it to hear how i sound yeah i'll defiantly look into the systems audio thing

[meowey55]

can you explain the sound i'm having a problem with the sound like when i plug in my ear phone and turn on the monitor while i'm talking or playing music i will hear myself and the music but when i unplug my head phones i can't hear the music anymore or myself even when the monitor is turned on why is that? and this still happened when i plug back in my head phones!!! it only works again when i just quit and reopen the program so yeah why is that?

[murry537]

@meowey55 You shouldn't have the monitor turned on for a microphone while having headphones unplugged because you will get feedback right away. The track default is to have feedback protection on which will lower the volume if feedback is detected.

The other thing that might be happening is the Mac tracks volume levels separately for heaphones vs the system audio, so it might be turned up for the headphones, but turned down for the system.

[lennypurnell]

Thanks Big O !  Very clear and concise tuturorial.Looking forward to more.

[117tree]

part 3??

[boringVandorsla]

i don;t have the ducking :(

[murry537]

Either you have an older version that doesn't have that feature, or it's just not turned on, which you can do from the "control" menu at the top.

[hennafied]

@boringVandorsla Mine isn't there either but just turned it on from the control option. thanks murry537

[mynameisvanille]

@boringVandorsla me neither

[KiLanRay]

Do you know how to set up the Korg NanoPad with Garageband? I can get it to play certain notes, but I can't figure out how to edit the controls. I'd appreciate any help.

[murry537]

I've never used it. Sorry. I use a midi keyboard though, and it's just plug and play. Very little work involved.

[LagunaPalms]

I'm looking into witch system is best & this helps. Over-all, is Apple the way to go in your opinion? Thank You.

[murry537]

Well, I'm admittedly biased, but yes, I MUCH prefer Apple systems.

[Sabinaaa]

thank you!

[profadon]

my garageband has static on all vocals, U kno why?

[murry537]

most likely it's either bad/cheap equipment, or you've got the levels turned up too high.

[dapaisa69]

how do u record multiple things like the voices and instruments all at ones but in individual tracks

[murry537]

Two ways: if you record an iChat audio conversation it will automatically split each voice into separate tracks. Otherwise you'll need an audio interface device that has multiple outputs. For example, a certain four track mixers that have a USB out will give you four channels that can be individual tracks in Garageband.

[dapaisa69]

because i have Behringer Eurowpower PMP2000 800-Watt 10-Channel Powered Mixer and a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 USB-Audio Interface and i was wondering if i could split all the mics i connect to the mixer. or do i need a better interface

[murry537]

The U-CONTROL UCA202 only has stereo out which means that you can have up to two simultaneous tracks in garageband when you're using it. Whatever you want in track one, mix all the way to the left on your Eurowpower, and whatever you want on track 2 mix all the way to the right. Then in the track properties in GB make sure it's set to only use the left or the right channel and not both of them.

[dapaisa69]

alright kool. thanks

[dyvyzyo]

THANK YOU! Awesome intro. I'm a musician, working at recording myself live and your familiarity helps production values MUCH!!!

Looking for more good stuff..... technofodder huh...? Cool!

[goaliehubby]

how do you take out the background music of a song?

[RiffaRama]

Hey Murry,

I'm new to Garage Band, I would like to say thanks for taking the time to give a good entry level explanation of garage band, you are really helping us newbies who want to get more out of this software starting with a good foundation, you have really helped me, Thanks, good job.

[jaguarjoaquin]

ya instale el garageband y no abre , eso me paso con el anterior , todo comenzo cuando instale en programa protools, ya desinstale el protools y nada, instale un trial de ableton live lite y es lo mismo que garageband , que puedo hcer, solo aparece inicializando , despues la ventana de forzar inicio y eso es todo que puedo hacer?

[murry537]

no hablo

[jaguarjoaquin]

gracias

[srmoll]

When you talk about the track PAN and VOL settings, and go on to describe making track pan and volume curves, you stress that it is important to have the main PAN and VOL controls set as required, because they become greyed out. You then describe a complicated work around.

It is actually very simple. When you edit a curve, a blue light is lit next to drop down which selects between "Track Volume" or "Track Pan". If you click it, the light goes out, and the main control is no longer greyed out.

[murry537]

Yup, you're absolutely right. I figured that out later, after this video was done. I should probably add a notation about that.

[murry537]

There, annotation added. Thanks for reminding me about this.

[srmoll]

Blimey! That was quick!

[murry537]

I like to pay attention :)

[RohainArora]

5/5

[M4Production]

What we want is

Do-^oo-^^oo-^^^oo

A single note raising to new notes, or notes intertwining with higher notes to make a low key go to a high key smoothly....

Sorry i couldn't make out a better description of my question, THANKS!

[M4Production]

Me and a friend have a problem with simular programs, (His is mix craft) Mine is garage band ofcourse, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to make a sliding sound, how to make notes go up in pitch into eachother into extent without starting a new tone sound, it's hard to explain over text, but think of

^ and v representing lower pitch,

When we do it, we get

Do-^Do-^^Do-^^^Do-^^^^Do (Think of Legend of zelda ocarina of time sound when you get a new item from a chest)

[murry537]

Garageband doesn't have a way for you to do that from within the program, but pitch shifting IS part of MIDI, so if you had a MIDI sequencer that supported it, such as a keyboard with a pitch shift knob, you'd be able to record that in Garageband just fine.

[drumsNcars]

is there any control over the master track being stereo or mono, or is there a way to capture say the right side of an audio track and duplicate it into a full stereo track left & right.

[murry537]

No control over the master track that way, If I want mono I usually either make sure all my separate tracks are mono, or just save as mono when I export.

And I haven't found a way to isolate the right or left side of a stereo track, but let me know if you figure that out! I'd really like to know how to do that in GB.

It's easy to take a mono track and duplicate it on to two tracks, panning left and right to simulate stereo. I do that a lot. Usually mix them different.

[Takencxp]

How can I get free loops for garageband ?

[murry537]

It comes with a bunch, but you can loop any audio file that it is able to import. So if you can find a bunch of mp3 loops, GB would handle them fine.

[Takencxp]

where is a good source to get em that you know of ?

[murry537]

I just google it.

[StudyTheSequence]

Is it best to work through some sort of mixer or is the software advanced enough to have a mic input direct? If so, what is a good mic to use for general recording that can be used with a Mac? Mainly for instruments if you have any experience. Thanks.

[okamasphere]

Your going to want to get the presonnus firebox as an interface to recording. The equalizers that come with garageband will suffice,

[ALivingReality]

when i import a song from iTunes, can i isolate either the instrumentals or the vocals?

[murry537]

No.

[slowmatt321]

is there any way to change the tempo of one track and not the whole song???

[murry537]

Not that I know of.

[pondguy123]

Thanks again........ now I have enough info to start using the program. Great job.

~~Bill

[mboneoneone]

Mate! that was really, really helpful...Thanks very much. I was lookin' high n low for info on how to fade in-out...(Everything else i worked out myself) Thanks again! Mike from Manchester, England.

[Kanientakeron]

Big-O'...how would i get two people to sing at the same exact time. would it be difficult? like gettin two mics into the laptop?

[murry537]

You could do it with two sound cards, but usually you would use something like a mixer or other kind of hardware device.

[Kanientakeron]

thanks man i have an ipod DJ mixer i'll see if that works,

[BlackRain100]

Is it possible to get it to windows or is it only for mac?

[murry537]

No, Mac only.

[knig6]

murry, when he meant t-pain style voice, he ment auto tune -.- and you cant use garage band to auto tune your voice unless you buy the program for 400$ and use cool edit, or cubase or somthing else

[murry537]

You mean pitch correction? Garageband has that.

[iSpykey]

you don't need auto tune to make a t-pain effect i don't know how the function is called in english but it's possible without auto tune

[travisbavisss]

actually theres a FREE and WAYY EASY way to get the tpain effect. just "youtube" it lol

[CrueRock]

PLz tell me how to download this and if it cost money! PLZ!

[murry537]

You don't download it. It comes free with any new mac, and it won't run on PC.

[Psteezn18]

So I can loop Itunes instrumentals?

[murry537]

Yes. You can loop anything you want. Midi, recorded sound, or imported sound.

[steven10sk8]

is there anyway to get your recorded voice in t-pain style or not?

[murry537]

I have no idea what that means.

[MIF30275]

hey do you know if you can upload a itunes song then take out the vocals so there is just the beat?

[murry537]

No. I have seen software that will let you do that, but it's a more advanced feature than what Garageband will give you.

[MIF30275]

ok

thank you

[KingWi11]

Great video to anyone new like my self. But i do have a question. How can i loop (this might be the wrong terminology) a section of a song so i can hear just the highlighted part over and over again with out cropping or messing up the audio segment?

[murry537]

Easy! There is a button for it at the bottom next to the play/rewind buttons. Look for arrows going in a circle.

When you click it, it will make a horizontal yellow bar at the top by your timeline. The yellow part is what will be looped. You can just drag the edges of it to loop a larger or smaller area.

[KingWi11]

wow, right in front of me... thanks a bunch!!!

[hasingh]

where do you go to change the bpm?

[murry537]

You can set that when you are creating the project, and you can adjust it later using the controls that are on the bottom in the middle.

[hasingh]

thnx, wat about looping, like when you create a 4 bar drum pattern and you want to repeat it throughout the song.

[murry537]

Simple, just move your mouse over the top right edge of a sound clip on the time line and the cursor will turn into a circle arrow. Then just drag it out to how long you want it.

[DjRodyGL]

How can you film your screen like this? wich program?

[murry537]

There are a number of screen cast programs for windows and mac. In this one I'm using Snapz Pro X.

[murry537]

I've not made a part three. Probably won't since they've released another version since this was recorded.

[dataifx]

WERE CAN I SEE PARTS 3 I CAN NOT FIND

[baspato]

can we do backwards sound and change one track 260beat and keep track 2 at 120....thanks

[murry537]

Not out of the box in this version. I haven't tried the newest one yet so it might be in there. Also, it supports AU format plug-ins so you might be able to find one that way.

[pinkdjstella]

how did you cancel a bit of music when it was in the scissor zone and you sayd you cancelled it with mac x?at 7 mins..thnx!!;)

[murry537]

Just like you would expect. Once it's highlighted you can press the delete key, or you can hit Apple+x (the same thing you would do to 'cut' text in a Word document).

[theunlimitedguys]

is garage band for windows xp ?

where i download??

[murry537]

Sorry, Mac OS X only. A good one for XP is Adobe Audition.

[BrodcastMiself]

what happened to all the other tutorials?

[murry537]

Well, Apple released a new version of Garageband and I haven't bought it yet. I didn't think it was worth my time to make a tutorial about outdated software.

[Steelcecil]

Tutoiral? Sorry for the spelling critic from the Peanut Squad. :)
