garbage band it's just a toy, you must to get better software¡

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@pedroparamo9 You're wrong! It's much more than you realize!

[tonglil]

Can anyone tell me how he was able to reveal those extra buttons beside solo and mute? Thanks

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@tonglil Go up to the top menu and click on "Track" then select "Enable Multi Track Recording". You'll see the little red button come back.

@GaragebandandBeyond

Thanks, now what about those other two?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@tonglil What are you talking about?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

The only thing they removed was that red button.

[GaragebandandBeyond]

I think it's unique and original. His accent adds to it as well.

@pedroparamo9 Yes because you are so professional with all your videos that you have on your youtube site.. oh wait.. just checked you don't have any..

[pedroparamo9]

@Tviruskillu yes you are right¡. Logic Pro it's better, and both they're compatibles. Good music¡.

[pedroparamo9]

@VcookiemonsterV hi¡, I think Logic Pro is far better software, it's professional and it's a "big brother" of Garbage band, I recommend you, and Mac think it's a big step into the musical production, even more, they're both compatibles¡...recently I've tried Logic PRO and it's great, like the other Pro software ( Protools, Cubase, etc.)

@pedroparamo9 minimizing your tools often yields greater results and more creativity. really, garageband is all you need as far as production unless you are stepping into more electronic stuff. It's the song that does the work. production is just showcasing what the song is already doing.

I have a technical question. For the first time I hooked up my guitar to Garageband and it sounded fine. The part that confused me was that when I played it back after applying one of the amp simulators, I got this inescapable buzz that ruined the track. There was no such buzz when I wasn't using the amp simulator. Is there any way to get rid of that buzz? I would greatly appreciate your response, because I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere else. Thanks, Lewin.
