Hey there Lucas. Thanks for the kind words. The key is to just keep learning but also keep creating and mixing. You learn even more by applying the principles you learn. Some will work for you, and some won't - but it's worth trying everything to see what works for your specific workflow.

Hi Pete, when you export a track from someone else’s reaper to my GarageBand I know to make sure you have a new project open with enough bars to except the length of the track but how about making sure the tempo and key signature is correct first ! Is that necessary !

Really great coincidence stumbling upon this video. I' still a relatively new user. I've been using GB for the past several months and have only been recording MIDI tracks. So I suddenly started wondering about those sliders on the left... if they only control output or if they also act as input faders when recording real instruments?? I'm also intrigued by those two "iSymphonic" tracks in your example. are those hidden somewhere in GB or did they have to be purchased/downloaded? Thx!

Hey there Stephane. It sounds like you’re using iSymphonic as an inter-app audio plugin. You can also use it as an AUv3 (audio unit) plugin. I’m doing a video on this soon but in the meantime this one should show you the process - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmTKeGOMqLelm9k

When you use pianos in your videos for example this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmavlaetr6xoebs do you do any editing to the overall piano sound? If so, could you show us in a video how you accomplish this and also how to change different aspects of the piano and how changing those aspects would affect the sound (i.e. resonance, reverb, delay, chorus, attack, release, etc.)?
@PeteJohnsMusic4 жыл бұрын
Hey there my friend. To be honest, I don’t change the default piano sound much at all. In this tune I added a little more reverb as it was a high “spacey” sound that I was going for. I’ve also been using this one quite a bit lately - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3iymKGLrLOaj5o
