[@jayrocknurse5386]

I want you to receive a Grammy for helping so many of us.

[@lmy222]

This channel is literally the best thing that could happen to me rn

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Happy to help!

[@TheUkuleleTeacher]

Can’t believe I never knew about the arrangement track! I’d actually made iPad GB my go-to DAW just because of how fiddly it is editing and moving sections about on the Mac - what a dolt I’ve been! Great video, thanks.

[@davidsonmick]

OMG - the Arrangement track! Genius, thank you! (and also for all your other info, which is so very helpful and well thought through!)

[@jonkerrmusic]

DUDE I didn't realize the Arrangement Track was a thing - thank you!

[@marcbrault]

5 tips... One I didn't know about and the other 4 I forgot about. Talk about a useful video! Thanks a million, Patrick. You're a life saver... well, time saver really but eh... 😁

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Happy to help Marc! Thanks for watching 👍

[@SuperOhdannyboy]

❤thanks Patrick the regions is new for me and of course super helpful.

[@Rob.P]

🙂 Some great tips in this video 👍

[@blueser100]

Very helpful video. Tried to download keyboard shortcut cheat sheet but the link/button is dead. I copied/pasted the link coding and got the guide, thanks.

[@rafaomar4924]

Thanks!

[@krazietype7836]

Thank you! Super helpful and I appreciate it brother!

Thanks for watching!

[@PCPInvestigations]

TY soooooo friggin much for that trick to expand or add a new intro to a piece. I have got that exact scenario going on right now and started the painstaking bumping of tracks then said screw it. Let me see if there is any help on your channel and…..BOOM!!! Problem Solved

[@hattleysengineroom]

Thanks! I needed a slap on the back of the head. I should be doing a couple of these.

[@mariamalova1012]

On the arrangement track move, does the automation follow it as well?

[@syjo4701]

This was really helpful. You always do a great job.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Cheers Sy, glad you found it helpful!

[@nigelcarren]

Great channel mate, but then I have always had a soft-spot for the Welsh! 😉🎵🏆

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

This comment is a hate crime 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@joshgatesmusic78]

Great video Patrick! I knew about most of these but always get in the habit of forgetting the tricks that Garageband offers! Thanks again for all of your help! Maybe I'll start using these shortcuts next project! 😆

[@Kevinfordsynthesizers]

100% correct sir - I was doing everything wrong. Many thanks for this.

[@JandeBloois1952]

Great tips again, did't know about saving presets. I did this only for added AUv3 and .sf2 instruments.

[@williamlovitt]

Thanks Patrick - as always, valuable and easy to understand info 😎

[@NeuroApathy]

Thanks for this video! I learned! Are you going to make one like this but specifically for iphone in the future?

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Sounds like a good idea!

[@andrewhaylett9099]

Great tips as always. Cheat sheet where have you been all my life….

[@jacque5599]

Thank you. The arrangement markers are about to make my life so much easier

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Glad you found the video useful!

[@Hyper_cat360]

Yo I’m in music class for GarageBand and this helps me a lot thx you so much😊

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Happy to help, thanks for watching!

[@marclevin1]

Excellent information, communicated clearly and charmingly; and the musical lilt and the wee Scottish accent (Isn’t that what it is?. I’m not sure, I’m from New York City!) make your site one of the best learning sources for GarageBand and beyond. You’re a skilled teacher, that demystifies the very nuanced ins and outs of Garage Band and probably so much more. Thank you🙏🏽🎶🕊

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

What a lovely comment Marc, thank you so much! And yes - it is a Scottish accent.

[@SMBorthwick]

Very good tips. I do save my own presets, but understanding the arrangement track better could come in very handy. Thanks Patrick!

[@RichTones]

Always love some good tips from the GB Master!✌

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Always appreciate you taking the time to watch sir!

[@KE010101]

Good one!

[@composerdoh]

Thank you! Great tips! For the arrangement track markers- can you set them via time or do they have to be by measures/beats? I find some of the measure features in GB and Logic frustrating b/c my music has a lot of meter and tempo changes, so I often just ignore the beat markers and just go by time.

[@AudioVideoMideo]

Cool ideas.

[@matthiaswillerich9697]

Definitely guilty of not working with patches; and while I use the arrangement track all the time, it was only "documentation" for me so far, I didn't realize I can, well, arrange the song with it 😀🙈. Glad to report that the other points you were wrong and I am not wrong.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

😂 Good stuff!

[@renahere1885]

Oops, iPad Pro IOS

[@chrislanesr]

Wrong 4 out of 5 (Making my own patches was the first thing I learned in GB by accident) but the loop key preference change was well worth the tome. Thanks!

[@BlutosBeaters]

Can you tell me how to disable the feedback protection window that keeps popping up? Trying to record a heavy guitar. I am playing through a Spark amp connected through USB. Garageband recognizes the connection just fine but but I can turn my levels completely down and strum the guitar and it will still pop up. I have unchecked the feedback protection and it still does it. I am monitoring through my headphone plugged into a scarlet 2i2.

[@jayp631]

Hi Patrick! Is there a way of speeding up a whole song without making guitars go all wobbly? Thanks. J

[@duheaumep]

stupid question but I can't find the videos for total beginner on Mac , help please :)

[@peteandpuy]

Brilliant!

[@batphink2655]

Since I upgraded to Monterey I found that many of my recorded orchestral strings track don't "sound" as in make no sound and I see nothing wrong?

[@giljusino]

I’m having an issue with GarageBand. When I go to the instrument settings for the type of bass sound I want, the acoustic bass sound effect is gone. I’ve used it for years. Also the NO EFFECT setting is gone…many other sound modeling are gone. I’ve used Timemachine to reinstall GarageBand from months ago…still the same problem. Can you guide me?

[@JonBushell]

Great videos but quick question. All your videos aren’t GarageBand but Mac logic? Is that right? They don’t look like iPad GarageBand but full version?

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

No I usually do a mix of both. This one is for Mac though.

[@Extrikit]

Ok guilty as charged. Thanks for the tips.

[@judijaba]

5 very useful tips

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@jcaiwa185]

awesum! 🤗

[@Sawdust_]

me who uses the ipad garageband watching this, despite none of these things even existing on the ipad version: hmm yes

[@Catinsuit11]

Hello scrutch Mac duck no offense you actuallly sound really cool

[@Jchaplin68]

Ya busted me LOL

[@dafingaz]

I’m doing way more than 5 things wrong 😂

[@sleekitwan]

[EDIT this is for iOS !]…HEADS UP Patrick, about brilliant sale from one of your favourite Devs - ‘Waverley’ is being thrown around on Apple’s App Store for 89p a shot. The big ones, MU and WT which I just obtained, and I already had the more economically-spaced (?!) Mood one. The XL and WT - don’t ask me the difference I have not a scooby - are a whopping Gb apiece the description says, so only grab it if you’ve got the space. ALL the products seem to be 89pence UK, his ambient soundscapers etc as well as the Audio Units I mentioned already. And, I will watch your vid while I’m here. Take care all, be at peace. I am most at peace while making an unholy racket it turns out.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Holy shizz! That’s a good deal 👍

[@GaryR55]

Oh, for Mac! Leaves me out, then. I've never had a Mac.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

iPad/iPhone version coming soon!

[@rowlanddexter4110]

Great tips, but likewise I only have an iPad, would be really helpful to be specific in the naming of the videos if it relates to a specific version of GB i.e. Mac or IOS only. Thanks

[@GaryR55]

Yep, true! Lots of new goodies! :)
