Totally! The ends justify the means! I don't care how stuff gets made, as long it sounds good :-D I've read books and books about production and engineering, and come away with the idea that all the great producers just messed with stuff until they liked it. All my engineer friends support this "whatever works" approach. It's art, after all, and there's no "right" way to do it :-D

It's actually fairly straight forward once you dip your toe in, and, right out of the box, can be a lot of fun. My advice with any new creative program is: don't try to make a master-piece first off. Instead, spend hours having fun exploring. Make a mess. A GLORIOUS mess. Then make another. Next thing you know, you're dipping into your new skills to create what you actually want AND to go beyond what you could previously imagine. Well... Thant's the idea!

I normally play my keyboard parts then go back into the piano roll & clean them up because I’m the most ham-fisted keys player on Earth. I like the EZ Keys approach, thanks for that tip.👍 For drums I’ve been using the built-in drummers but I’ve never been happy with the drum sounds so I’m going to check out EZ Drummer as well. Viva la Toontrack! The platinum analog tape preset is gold! I use it on literally every songs master track. I’ve been looking for a good analog tape machine plugin to run on the master to add some warmth, any experience with those? Trying to find a good mic pre but Sweet Jebus they’re expensive for a nice one. Not to mention almost everything is 500 format, so I’d have to buy a lunchbox as well. What a rabbit hole... Anyway, great tips Eric, thankee muchly.

Great stuff this Garage band can do now ...I must relook at mine.Being an old engineer I thought all the advice was good with the exception of maybe a reverb on the whole mix.But there are no rules so if it works its okay.I would try mix compression first as that will sometimes exagerate the reverbs on your source material.Just a thought.

Yeah, sometimes the "Reverb on everything" is too much. I sometimes do that because Garageband doesn't allow send/return processing. That makes total sense to compress first, then add a touch of "room" if necessary. Good point!

I can personally vouch for Studio One. I started off with the free version I got with my Presonus Audiobox, which was pretty good, but Presonus sent me emails now and again offering me the upgrade to the full version plus a load of add ons for around £120, which was about a third off the regular price, plus the add ons would've cost a substantial amount on top......And well, while the free version was good and had plenty of stuff on it, the full version is absolutely huge. There's tons of stuff on it and considering the price I paid, I think it's fantastic. My recommendation would be to buy something that includes the free version, have a play with it for a couple of months to familiarise yourself with the program, then wait for Presonus to email you with offers of the discounted full version, because they will eventually. It's the best way I found because if you just decide to buy the full version from the start it'll cost around £300 or maybe more I can't remember exactly but the Presonus website will have all of the prices on it. 👍

Ugh it’s a major headache with GB! I have an epic email thread with customer support - they got it to work, but it wasn’t simple. These days, I just make and save my own presets GB, it’s quicker in the long run

Someone in my Recording Revolution group shared this article with me and it instantly fixed the issue! All good!! www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-to-get-amplitube-4-presets-to-appear-in-garageband/

Amplitude is an additional plugin / costs a bit of money 💰

Great video and hope you make another one someday. Recording is not as easy as it looks! Maybe you will save a ton of money recording studio dollars, maybe you won't. Sure is lonely!

Indeed! It's time-consuming meticulous work - you have to love it to do it. btw I made this vid recently about how much I love the Toontrack plugins: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3_Xp6dpqb-eqJI

Is the bass from you or is it a loop?
@EricHaugenGuitar4 жыл бұрын
It me! These days, I use EZ drummer for the beats and fills, and play everything else myself. I find it sounds more natural that way - the less loops I use the better!

What version is this?
@EricHaugenGuitar6 жыл бұрын
It's version 10, but I've added Toontrack EZ Keys, Superior Drummer, Amplitube 4, and Valhalla Vintage Verb :-)

Did you play a real bass? Or virtual?
@EricHaugenGuitar7 жыл бұрын
Real bass and guitars. Sometimes I might actually play a little keys of drums too, but mostly I use the plugins for that :-D

Thanks!! I cant find EZ Keys tho, anyone can assist?

All the Toontrack, Amplitube, and Valhalla Plugins I use I bought separately through sweetwater.com. EZ keys costs about $149, but it's well worth it :-D

Ah yes I’ve paid extra for my ez keys plugins, reverbs, and additional tools. If you wait for a sale, you can usually get ez keys for like $99

Yeah! I highly recommend grabbing EZ Keys and EZ drummer! If your sign up for their mailing list, you'll get alerts for when they go on sale. There'll probably be a July sale - that'd be a perfect time to get them on the cheap!

Thanks Steven! I've spent some money on add ons, but even the core sound possibilities within the program are quite useful!
