Garage Band #2: Using Loops to Make Backing Tracks - Home Recording Techniques [RT-202]

[@furncemanjim]

Hey, Thanks for doing this series, I have had this app on my laptop for years and have never been able to figure it out, I guess coming from another gutair player just makes it more clear, Many, many thanks.

[@jefizz66]

I wondered how you could change chords with loops. I’m glad I watched this video. Thanks a bunch. I’m gonna start working with this. If you have more videos about this please put the link in a reply. Thanks again.

[@sergey117420chem]

This is long awaited and useful stuff. Congrats, by the way, with using a new shiny guitar for the lesson. Can't wait for the next lesson.

[@Dobroz99]

Justin I wonder if you could do a new video with IOS and updated garage band? Thanks for your great work helping all of us.

[@oliva1971]

instead of searching through the list of percussions etc , you can always use the search bar and type tambourine f.ex.

[@bushibayushi]

Thanks justin, i'm using Reaper for Windows but many of these tips translate to just about every DAW ;) plus I have a feeling that guitar recording lessons will be useful to just about everyone

[@jmillanoff]

I freakin love you man. 1M subscribers is an understatement to your help for us all

[@bluehazeboy]

Hi Justin, I really like this little series about garage band, I've had my mac for a few years & every so often ill make something up, & I've learned a lot from this ..... :)

[@tonyllewellyn5394]

Great tutorial, so far as it goes. It would be great if someone did something like this using audio guitar & piano loops instead of MIDI. It's easy to change pitch for MIDI loops, but how do you do it with audio loops? Unless, of course, you've got a song that only uses one chord!

[@joiedevivre1987]

i have garage band 10.3.2 ..and its different .. tried to change the pitch but it changes for the whole track rather than the part i want ??

[@ernal]

Another great video Justin. Bit disappointed there was no cowbell! :)

[@rasjahsunyogi]

This was beyond useful ~ Thank you so very much, Justin!

[@luisthree]

Really cool and easy!

[@dgrebin]

Nice lesson but wish it was in the current version of GarageBand

[@adrianswebvideos]

Holy crap, it's Norm McDonald! lol. Great video!

[@danieljanin8660]

this video is very interessing and the question is have you other about the using of garageband congratulation to all the team members daniel from martinica french west indies

[@ParkerPeete]

Loved the Midi editing

[@SSanjeewaGnanarathne]

Hi.. Justin.. this really nice... thank you doing a video like this...

[@bobbiethomas5137]

Hello, I have GB V.10.1.2 & I don't seem to be able to adjust the pitch the clip I'm trying to adjust is a midi clip.

[@medierlam]

Nice job, can you touch on a bridge, chorus and building a song?

[@CKS5000]

Good stuff Justin, I don't have garage band but I wanted to see some of your ideas on Looping for Backing Tracks. I can't always find video's about Fruity Loops(the DAW that I use), so I watch video's with other DAW's and try to do the same thing on FL.

[@edwardmirza]

`Beautiful work!

[@chris60036]

Can anyone tell me where the green midi loops are? I only seem to have audio ones and have unchecked the options in the preferences for loops Thanks

[@sentlas1]

+Chris Allanson yes, I can't find them eighter

[@SamlonHoldfield]

Great, thanks!

[@raulfau]

Kudos!!! This is amazing and just what I needed.....THANK YOU.

[@valshipley]

thank u ...awesome as a gtr player hv always stayed away from this tech thingy..

[@Jobu567]

Great lesson! Thank you very much!

[@algyk]

Hi Justin, my bass inserts don't appear to have the MIDI function. So I can only drag them in but then can't manipulate a chord progression. Can you help? I just want to lay down drums with a simple bass progression that I can strum along too. Thanks :)

[@Dabomb1237]

Thank you very much for these lessons!

[@MrJagerMan1]

Thanks Justin!

[@FilipeSouzaSUS]

Good job Justin !

[@xyzvision]

Did you know that each loop has an up and down triangle. Well you can click on the triangle to select other same family beats etc without having to delete and search again. Hope this helps.

[@helijarvenpaa]

Hi Justin! Thanks for this video. It helped me a lot!

[@Hogweed]

Anyone know what version Garage Band this is? I think there was a recent update (from version 6 to 10), and some don't like the new one.

[@timsky99]

i think its the new one....there's more loops than i've got and it was full of bugs on the audio. Maybe a coincidence but i'm not rushing to update mine.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

Is this version still available? I really like the piano loops and I can’t find loops in my GarageBand.

[@jwhitty14]

Awesome Justin, Thanks!!

[@z4u68]

My 2017 Mac book does not have anything I see you showing in my garage band.

[@clozner]

Where do you get all of the Apple Loops that are "Software Instrument Loops"? I've tried reinstalling the sound library, but only have a handful of software loops and none of the ones you use in this video. Bummer.

[@SounderAU]

Some good tips there, mate. Thanks!

[@Speak_the_Speech_with_Kyle]

Great, helpful video as always. Question: what if you want to change the time measure or key of the loop tracks? I often have the problem of writing songs with very specific beats and things in mind and find it frustrating that I can't find a loop to match.

[@strangerthanreality]

Are those loops that come with Garageband? I can't seem to find them on mine (ver. 10). I've even purchased & down the additional ones.

[@_GrumpyOldPunk]

I am having the same issue. I dont seem to have any midi loops at all.

[@akustickesrdce4690]

Thanks for the video Justin, sounds really fun to work with this garage band. However I am a Windows user and wanted to know if you coud recommend a simmilar free software? Many thanks and good luck with your channell, kind regards, Peter

[@LeoCagape]

great info! thanks!

[@cristianabastos7443]

Please help. Where is the loop function you show on 13:58 but on iphone garageband app?

[@LindaRicaLIVE]

You totally rock! Love your tutorials, humor, thoroughness, and generosity! Now I can do things myself and don't have to mess with other moody musicians LOL! ;-)

[@WldHny1]

How do I get loops to continue indefinitely while I am recording a track? Thanks.

[@XxheavymetalgxX]

Thank you justinguitar! That helps so much!

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

English Norm MacDonald thank you

[@aryanthakkar5721]

Hi I have seen you full viedo I liked it . I have a question for you first a fall you see peter Bence . He is a great pianist . He make best backing tracks for his viedo can you say me that we can make that backing track like him with this software or can you tell (not exactly) that which software he use

[@feelfine920]

Thank you for the tutorial, that is very helpful!

[@ahmetkasmay636]

Yet i don't have this loop section in the opening page of my garage band. what do you think is the problem?

[@chris60036]

Ahmet Kasımay Did you ever work this out? I can't see any green midi loops either Thanks

[@simonwilliams6016]

I've used a number of DAWs in the past, and I still use Logic for most of my own stuff, but I've been looking for a simple way to introduce (often non-musical) kids to creating simple loop compositions in GarageBand, and this is very helpful. Thanks. One thing, though, like a couple of others who have posted below, I don't seem to have the drum and bass tracks you used in my loop library (I'm running GB 11 on OS 10.9.4). I can't help but think I must be missing something simple, but I have no idea what. Any suggestions? Cheers Simon

[@jc_compto]

Fantastic tutorial! thanks!

[@tom99ss]

Beautiful tutorial / thanks

[@herwigcraeghs595]

Thanks very nice !! a learned a lot

[@Fourleaf164]

VERY HELPFUL !! THANK YOU SOO MUCH !!

[@DanielGennaro]

[@thedancingalien7766]

Rice Krispies Snap Crackle And Pop

[@LeonardDieckmann]

Very clear

[@newyorkers11]

This great video. Can you tell where to get so many loops?

[@TheBlueskyson]

hi JG. Can i record a live band with garageband software? say 16 tracks. can it handle that with live instruments u think? ty

[@MedMan30]

Awesome. Love the tutorial. : )

[@tushar8998]

Hello Justin.You are one of the best guitar teachers around. I have the latest GarageBand but I seem to have very very few midi loops for bass guitars and few MIDI loops in gerenal. Mine is a stock installation of GarageBand. How do you have so many bass loops?

[@clozner]

Did you ever figure out how to find all of the standard MIDI loops?

[@tushar8998]

Turns out they aren't really there in GarageBand. You can download them from some websites though. Just google it. Some material is free while some is paid.

[@willylandin9450]

Thanks a lot!

[@shaar666]

Thanks so much for this

[@endikasangroniz]

Anyone knows any program like garage band which works for windows? Thanks

[@jacobcoronado2025]

Hey Justin its me Jacob Coronado

[@russellboyce2380]

Oh crap. I turn it on and there's no loops option like yours??? I'll find it somewhere.

[@amberb803]

Amazing!

[@UploadUppland]

Where does he get all these loops from? I hardly have any midi loops at all.

[@chris60036]

UploadUppland Did you ever work this out? I have lots of audio loops but no midi ones

[@yonosetampoco447]

Hi.. Where did you download all the midi loops you have? Included the ones in the example? I have only 10 or 15 midi loops in my garageband installation

[@justinguitar]

check prefernces - you can dwnload additional content somewhere!

[@yonosetampoco447]

Thanks :)

[@playmovingpictures]

That's ok Justin but could you do a simple loop backing track in less than 3 minutes ??? Show us a fast video just the guitar chords

[@daviddahl8562]

your garageband looks a lot different then mine

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

cool

[@albatros280]

It doesn't work for Windows. :P But, you can use Mixcraft.

[@yougouart9119]

Aleksandar Stankovic does mixcraft have loops .. I mean i wanna record flamenco music.. ?

[@albatros280]

Joseph Art It does. :)

[@yougouart9119]

I just figured out another problem... it works only for mac!

[@albatros280]

Mixcraft?

[@jerryfick4523]

Lookin like Norm Macdonald

[@KingTabor]

A human can play the bass fill at 14:45?

[@jeffbateman2339]

Does anyone else hear all the clicks and pops in the audio when they're all playing?....any way to fix that?

[@holidaymaker2982]

I fixed that by buying a M-AUDIO interface no more pops fizzles and etc....

[@theinvadersband]

How to loop infinity ? Thx

[@L0kitheliar]

Watch episode 1

[@BigEdWo]

i don't know, but it seems like midi sounds still as artificial as it did 15 years ago.
