How have I missed that chord edit all this time?

[@alexsimmondslawvideos3700]

Amazing! For years I’ve been thinking that it’s really stupid to only have a set amount of chords- can’t believe chord edit has been there all along

[@user-gu8oe1bm4j]

I’ve been training hard in the garageband (iPhone6) since January 2020, I saw the chord editor, but I didn’t know the trick with two fingers on the drum! Thank!

[@thomcalhoun6949]

As always, Patrick, great tutorial! Thank you, for all you do! Take care! 😁

[@AndreaRossGreene]

Patrick! These are great tips! The new ons for me are both of the drum tips. Wow! I love your videos. Thanks!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it Andrea. 👍

[@clebozer]

Thanks Patrick! Im in lockdown in China and I live for your videos at the moment. Keep churning them out please! Really useful and I'm having so much fun with both IOS and Mac versions to make my songs thanks to you! Cheers, mate!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Hey Clive, good to hear you’re staying safe mate! Glad you’re enjoying the videos, thanks for watching 🙏👍

Clive Lebozer hope you survive hanta good luck

[@danny1959]

Excellent information as always, Patrick! You know about the one finger, two fingers, three fingers thing on the touch instruments, don't you?

[@GarageBen]

Very useful tips indeed. Can't believe I haven't found out most of them on my own. So thanks! How long have you been using GarageBand?

[@graemesandstrom5654]

Patrick this was excellent. You are right. They are a bit hidden. I had discovered how to change chords but didn’t know the other stuff.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice! Thanks for watching Graeme! 👍

[@timothyclay3668]

Wow... never knew about the 2 finger drum trick. Thanks !

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

GarageBand is STILL full of surprises! 👍

[@CRASS2047]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 👍

[@CRASS2047]

TheGarageBandGuide and you actually read these and reply! That’s rare. Thank you for what you do. I started in GB in 2014 on my ipad air 2, ( still works great) but have since graduated to a 12.9” ipad pro 2018, then last year I got a beefed up refurbished imac with an i7 processor and 32 gigs ram and 256 gb internal ssd. I’m still on Mojave because I worry my old irig keys pro keyboard won’t be supported by Catalina. I confirmed all of my plugins are 64 bit, and my m audio air 192/6 should all work fine with Catalina. But still reluctant until I can get confirmation from IK that irig hardware will work. They have the irig io keyboard listed, but not mine

[@JasonFerguson1283]

Thank you!

[@ken7neth]

Cheers Patrick, another great video I didn’t know about the two fingers ✌🏻on the drums either !

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

It’s a lesser known feature for sure! Thanks for watching 👍🤘

[@Kurjistaja]

@@TheGaragebandGuide 2:54 This two finger thing also works on electrick drums 5:10. Try also adding a third finger on drum / pad. At the same time you can adjust Drive Crush Low Cut Hi Cut with your other hand fingers. Cool. Thanks!

[@rickyelvis3215]

all the good stuff is in the details ...thanks.

[@jameskimble6133]

Did ya know about the twelve different acoustic patterns that play in GB by using two to three fingers in the chords space....however the first 8 are realistic and special by using one or two fingers, but the last 4 are truly garish when achieved with three strings. I can’t see myself using them. But the first eight cover a lot of ground.

[@thegoner]

This is unrelated but you have a nice voice+accent which is good because sometimes I lose interest if the voice isn't right to me. I like your channel

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Thanks, I appreciate that 🙏

[@scottysheridan]

Make a tip for where the arrangement settings are please

[@dafingaz]

Great stuff!

Cheers Frank, you too buddy 🍻

[@KunwookKim]

You are like a genius to me.

[@gertroyne4426]

Can I connect a guitar with active pickups ie powered by a 9 volt battery?

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

I don’t see why not 🤷‍♂️

[@baddogrnr]

Hi Patrick Can you use an iPad and still get the most out of the GB app , I can’t justify the purchase of a Mac Book . Thanks

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

GarageBand on iPad is a completely different app to the Mac version, both are fantastic. What do you plan to do recording/production wise?

[@baddogrnr]

TheGarageBandGuide I want to record my own stuff , which is basic hard/stoner rock . Real guitar and bass use the GB for drums , and I might put some vocals on . I go for loud and raw . Cheers

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice! 🤘 You'll be absolutely fine with GarageBand on iPad then 👍

[@baddogrnr]

TheGarageBandGuide thank you for your time , stay safe

[@ubergezineerer6689]

Lol something missing in my app. The key board note in my setting didn’t appeared btw am using Iphone 6.

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

Garageband (IMHO) is a riot, just fun ..

[@Bubba-zu6yr]

Thanks Patrick! Had no idea that you could hold the drum triggers! 👍🏻

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Cheers Bubba, it's definitely not a well known feature!

[@Bubba-zu6yr]

TheGarageBandGuide, between you and Pete I might just turn into another Stravinsky! 😅

[@Bubba-zu6yr]

Spent a bit of time with drum hold trigger(s)... easy way to set up a drum roll. Record a bar or two with fingers split high on the snare, double/triplicate and offset. Very nice, thanks again!

[@Kurjistaja]

@@Bubba-zu6yr 2:54 This two finger thing also works on electrick drums 5:10. At the same time you can adjust Drive Crush Low Cut Hi Cut with your other hand fingers. Try adding a third finger on drum / pad when you got two already on.

[@radawesomeshark]

This is 👍

[@giri.goyo_yt]

I thought I knew all the secret features. Nope. Thanks a mil, Patrick!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice! Thanks for watching 👍

[@DanielSamulewiczXXI]

Hi, guys! You seem to know any hidden features in GB. Could you please point me to right direction? 1. Where I can adjust the level of individual drums in Beat Sequencer on iOS without separating them? You see, when changing drum kits, the level of individual samples have different balance, but I don’t want to loose the volume setting for individual notes. 2. Is it even possible to have effects on individual drums (as reverb on snare only) without having to separate to different tracks?

[@chrisezelle]
