@Ponk_803 жыл бұрын
It is also possible to do this trick in an already made project, just make sure to have all other tracks above the audio track, except for the drummer track you want to turn into a regular midi track, then do the copy part of the audio clip and drummer track, delete the drummer track, and create two or more blank midi or drum tracks, make sure the play marker is at the beginning, and tap the blank part of the audio track, and tap the paste that pops up, the drummer track data should now be pasted on to one of the blank midi/drum tracks that you created.

@sophiedarnell4673 жыл бұрын
I may be missing a couple of steps but I do have a couple of questions. 1: when you say to “copy the part of the audio clip,” do you mean the drummer track that you want to have copied and that is already placed? And 2: I put the drummer track on top of all the audio tracks, copied the first drummer track that was placed down in a separate region. Then pasted it in the drummer track that is above the other audio tracks, but it didn’t show up as a midi instead it literally just copy and pasted the previous track from before. Is there anything I’m missing?also let me know if you need clarification
@axe2grind911a3 жыл бұрын
No need to have tracks in any particular position for the copy. It works no matter what is above or below the drummer track.

I got to try this. It will change my life if it works. GarageBand in my desktop allows the drummer tracks to convert to MIDI pretty easily, but I have never been able to figure out how to do it on my iPad in GarageBand IOS. I don’t usually use GarageBand on the desktop and prefer to open my iPad pieces right into Logic because that’s has more flexibility and better instrument samples. The GarageBand drummers have some pretty great groves you can tweak in, but there are always some cymbal accents I need or some other change to customize the drums for my songs. I have never known how to convert the drummers to MIDI so I can edit? Sometimes I like to break up the drums and cymbals to different tracks so I can EQ them separately, so this will save me a ton of time! Thanks! The problem is that I prefer to use my iPad GarageBand to write music on the fly, like a music notepad and it is amazing just how powerful and flexible GarageBand IOS actually is. I’ll play pieces for my wife from the iPad GarageBand and she says, “that was done on your iPad? It sounds finished.”. It’s that good, in a tiny iPad. Of course the real magic comes in Logic. I’m an old fart, who came up in music in the 70s and 80s, so to record a demo, you needed to book time in a multimillion dollar recording studio, with huge 4 inch tape and 20’ long mixing consoles. Now, you can nearly create a song as clean and vibrant as those millions of dollars worth of equipment could do? It’s just amazing to have a recording studio in a notepad.

When you selected all of the bass drums and others using a rubber band to strike over the entire song, there’s an easier way to select every drum hit. If you just hit the bass drum button all the way to your left, it will quickly select every bass drum hit. The same with the snare, Tom’s, cymbals and hats. Just click their icon and all hits become highlighted. Then you can cut and paste them into a separate tracks. That part I did know how to do. I just couldn’t figure out how to convert the drummer groves into MIDI and ma so thankful to finally know how to. It was always possible in the desktop version, there was just no simple instructions for the IOS.

The revised Aemyn method worked to a point running the latest version of GB on an 2021 iPad Pro (I tried multiple times using the original Binnie method, but never able to get either MIDI or audio data to come across and tracks were blank after I hit paste). While I was able to get the MIDI data to populate using the Aemyn method, the rhythm/beats from the original GaragaBand drummer did not translate accurately to the MIDI tracks. I used the "Gavin" - Skinny Tie GB drummer and tried a bunch of different MIDI kits to try and at least match the sound of the MIDI drums tracks ("Bluebird" seemed to sound the closest). I also used some 1/8th and 1/16th note "light swing" on specific sections of the GB pattern and tried quantizing those sections in the MIDI converted kit accordingly, but it didn't have the same feel and the MIDI version was heavily quantized overall (and again, some of the beats were missing and/or out of place). I guess if wanted to try and get a closer MIDI version of the GB Drummer, I would need to slice up the audio from the GB drummer to isolate the individual drums/percussion pieces on separate rack as much possible and then use this as a reference to edit the MIDI data drums on separate tracks to match. At best, in my experience with this particular GB drummer track, the conversion represents a starting point at best. I do appreciate that it does this at all which is still pretty great!

Great video dude. 👊🏾Do you think this method could work with wave files?
@PeteJohnsMusic3 жыл бұрын
It doesn’t sorry because WAV files don’t have any MIDI information in them.

Hi Pete great video, is there any way to get more variety of cymbals in a drum track like a China or splash? Really wanting them in a heavier track mix but garageband has no sounds for them.

Hey there. So there’s a way to access some additional kit pieces in some drum kits. This video will help you with this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ilhWClg8afiKc

Hi Pete! Does it work with the newest version of GarageBand? The thing is that some months ago I successfully converted some drums with your method, but now it doesn’t work D: I am using the latest version 2.3.14. Thank you so much for your help!!!

This is an important feature I’ve been trying to learn how to do for a while! Apple really needs to bring this up to date! This is a common feature I use with logic Pro X end it really messes up my workflow to not be able to switch between drum sounds on one midi file or convert to midi. Is it possible to copy and paste inside the same project? I am stuck with a project that I am almost finished with but my drummer track claps only need to be louder! How do I do that?
@PeteJohnsMusic3 жыл бұрын
Yeah you might need to split them out using this method and isolate the claps to turn up.

Is it possible to adjust the notes of the drums, for example with a piano roll, or is it only possible to change volunicity
@PeteJohnsMusic Жыл бұрын
Only the velocity. You’d need to put on a separate track and use a pitch change plugin if you want to change the pitch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaTMhoqYidlniZY

This proves that GB iOS has that possibility, just like GB Mac. Apple just makes us jump through hoops to do it. That's my opinion anyway.

With macos GB there is an easier way. Copy a section of a virtual drummer, paste it in an instrument track (it'll appear as MIDI notes but sound weird). Copy the section again, this time from the instrument track, select a drummer track and paste it there. Now it's editable as MIDI ;-)

Pete Johns You actually don't have to create a new project, just do the first step where you copy the audio and drummer track, then delete the drummer track and create about 3 normal drum tracks, then paste the copy part, and the drummer track should get pasted on the second drum track, then just delete the two blank tracks that you don't need. ps. don't delete the audio track, or the trick won't work.
