Hey thanks for commenting. If you want to trigger just sounds you have to make sure your in the section that say instruments instead of sample. If your in the sample section then you can trigger samples on the keys. If your in the instrument section you can trigger individual notes along the piano for that particular sound

So I'm using Garageband and I'm at a complete loss. I'm trying to record the beat sample I have but it won't play the entire sample no matter what I do. I can't find any answers online. I try to play the sample I have on my keyboard, but I get a quick beat instead of the entire beat. It's like I'm playing the first second of it and it repeats. Idk what to do!

Press the next key over maybe? A lot of live samplers work like this :)

[@naztwhite5840]

Quick question can arcade run on 6gb ram? I need answers

[@ProtaJ]

If I imported vocals from pro tools to arcade and added some effects on them, how do I import those vocals BACK to pro tools?????

[@creativedwill]

I am not familiar with pro tools, but I would imagine that you would just record the midi notes to trigger the sounds in arcade. And most DAWs have the ability to render in place, to create a WAV file from the midi pattern/ instruments. I hope this helps

[@ZayProdigy]

How do you connect the midi to arcade. It only plays from my keyboard

[@creativedwill]

Hey thank you for commenting!🙏🏾😊 Any midi device that is connected with your DAW should register with Arcade. I would make sure if your using a MIDI controller that is start at C1 or like C2 just to make sure your in the right range.

[@jonahwaltonmusic]

You are absolutely right. It is cheating.

[@russellbell8383]

If you release a beat using the samples (e.g. vocals), does that not cause an issue with copyright, etc. Would people be interested in leasing beats with these unaltered samples?

[@creativedwill]

I have heard of people having issues with Splice loops, so I guess this would be similar. I typically 99% of the time change the sample and add effects so it’s not noticeable. For the video I just did something quick for Time sake.

[@russellbell8383]

[@aishine8184]

So. Let me get this straight I gotta add effects and hop they can not identify that I used the loop or sound I'm already paying a monthly subscription for???

[@eliron9775]

No, as stated on their website, all samples and instruments are royalty free

[@otheproduct]

The only thing you cannot do with the sounds, is build a sound library for sale. Also associate beats with their names they came up with for the original sounds. Eg. happy trails (132 bpm) - $600 exclusive. I read the terms and conditions before I signed up

[@creativedwill]

Not necessarily… I think that it’s like sampling. Everyone might have the same sample, but everyone has their own creative mind, which makes everyone sound a little different and unique😊 Thanks for commenting 🙏🏾

[@scottrennie6896]

@Creative Dwill we will see, you may have to drop creative from your name in the near future. I see a world that is trying to replace everything a human does and right now they are invading the realm of art and music and it should concern you. It should concern us all. By the time you realize you have been replaced, it will be too late as this stuff is frighteningly good but highly lazy. The coming generation won't know anything else as these will be the only tools they are handed. When they are done they won't even need your face or voice. I'm not against using samples in my music but for me, I try to use them sparingly and try to add them into my mix rather than build on them. These are whole sections of finished pieces that are sometime else's artistry. You are merely connecting the dots. It's like a painting by numbers rather than a Van Gogh. They can both look good but only the momentary onlooker will say that is a lovely painting. They won't be studying the brilliance and be inspired by what colours you chose to put in each box. What colour you choose to put into each space will give you a different feel but the picture is the same and it pushes the next generation away from having to learn an instrument to be part of a group. You don't need others so no more beatles, no more groups like queen where even their least member wrote their biggest ever hit as it was a collaboration that brought the magic that no one could explain. It's all death by numbers

[@andystandys]

@@scottrennie6896 I am a creative who loves technology and loves music, but I am a novice in music production. I know that I will never have time to learn music theory and everything about producing tracks. Tools like this allow me to create something that sounds respectable without having to dedicate years into learning the craft. The true musicians will go on and create top 40 hits that the whole world will hear - I have no aspirations of doing that. But for just having fun and creating some beats or making some backing tracks for the videos I produce, this technology is awesome.

[@FyeDatUpWill]

I thought the same thing but I got it and it gives you thousands of ways to make each sample or instrument different. It's genius tbh. Plus we all use the same sounds whether it's guitar,flute orchestra drums etc it's how we as producers mix and edit the effects to create something completely different. I can take a piano and make it sound like a guitar Amp.
