I like using Live Loops for putting down loops of my own guitar riffs. I’ve used actual looper pedals but I find Live Loops can be used the same way but you can see where you are, where the loop starts over, etc. instead of the blind nature of physical pedal loops. Add to that all the bonuses of effects, amps, etc., it’s SO much fun as well as great for creating song ideas quickly.

Awesome!! Love hearing this. I really need to explore them more.

Hiya Pete, I'm teaching how to use live loops to my classes of 11 year olds - they are loving it! BUT how do you re-record a song if you want to add tracks to the mix or fx to the tracks. Do I have to start over and add all the loops from scratch again or is there a way to start a new recording?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So you can switch between tracks view and Live Loops view and it will keep whatever you’ve recorded already. Maybe check in with the GarageBand Users Facebook group if you need more support. studiolivetoday.com/gbu

[@timstagray3680]

I liked this video Pete. If you do some videos on this I think it would be great! I’ve goofed around with this only a little bit. I figured it could work well for song ideas/inspiration. The problem I couldn’t figure out is that the riffs that come out could work for the verse but what about the chord changes for a chorus part. Thanks for all the videos you put out I always watch them all! I remember commenting to you a long time ago when I found your channel how happy I was that I found somebody who was using and teaching about GarageBand for iPad. Thanks!!!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Thanks Tim! Yes, it's been a pretty great journey over the past couple of years and I definitely remember that you were one of the first providing comments way back when I recorded my first EP in GarageBand. You're right that LIve Loops' biggest issue is that everything is in a very static key and getting variation and chord changes at all can be a challenging thing when you're using loops, especially WAV file loops that are very difficult to change. Now that we have more MIDI loops in GarageBand, I think this might be much more flexible and you can start to build in changes by transposing MIDI loops and creating new loops. I'm right in the middle of the planning process for future videos - just working out whether to do these are smaller bite-sized tutorials, or one "complete guide" to Live Loops.

[@timstagray3680]

Pete Johns. Good idea on making chord changes by transposing loops for the chorus. Thanks for that! Just to let you know, I slowed down the number of comments I make because I think you are getting busier and busier with things which is good!!?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. You can use your own sounds using the Sampler, but it's a little clunky. Check out some of my videos on the Sampler on the channel. I haven't used loops in Live Loops view much so maybe ask over on the GarageBand Users Facebook group? studiolivetoday.com/gbu.

[@msp777guitar]

Hey Pete, when I put some loops in the project and I have cut them, during editing my other tracks, it happens often that a part of a loop change (for example with extra fills) while it is not active. Very strange. But in that case I need to redo all my changes till I am back where I started. That´s realy bad and hard to edit my other tracks. This is my first time that I work with drum loops and maybe I miss some points. It would great if there was a opportunity to protect a track to avoid changes. Any suggestions?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Yes, this is unfortunately a part of using the drummer loops, as they actively adjust to the length of each part to try to play a drum part that works for the song. It doesn’t always work out! There’s no real way to change this apart from actually programming in your own drums. THe one option you do have is merging the drum track to an audio track and then splitting/cutting it using this method - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJbPoHWDoZmkp7c

[@msp777guitar]

Can I select the click to sound on headphones while the beats or whatever I record to sound on P.A? I don't want the public to hear the click

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Unfortunately GarageBand only supports a single output, so whatever is in your whole mix will be played through headphones and speakers. There are other apps which allow multiple outputs by using supported audio interfaces which have multiple outputs.

[@wayneanderson2866]

I’m no expert but I would think you could pan the click to right only or left only. Then you could send the one with the click to yourself (mono) & the other to the audience (also mono). Maybe an option????🤔🤔

hi sir watched all your videos any idea to create my own aiff loops

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hi there my friend. Yes, you can create loops in GarageBand. Here's some videos which will help you do this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXy8mWOtiq5-edE And here's how to export your loops as WAV/M4A/AIFF - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqPCi5ijibFmnpI

Very handy, just learning it and when you said that switching at the Start of the project, that was all I needed, but must see more. Udemy is good but not real live working with program

Hey, thanks so much Jon. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to pass on feedback.

you’re welcome! you seem to be so knowledgeable on everything garage band i was wondering if you might be able to answer a question for me regarding irig midi2 if you’re familiar with that as well? i have a Korg minilogue synth with an iphone and irig midi2 and i’m trying to record synth parts into garageband. there are specific synth patches on my minilogue that i want to incorporate into my song but when i play it into garage band, it seems i’m limited to garagebands stock sounds and my synth is basically just serving as a controller for those. is there any way around this? i’m still pretty new to midi. thanks again for everything!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Good question. I don’t use any external MIDI gear so not super experienced but will tell you what I know. You’re right that MIDI input in GarageBand is only sending the notes, velocity, sustain and bends. Any actual sounds that are part of your external synth won’t be sent to GarageBand via MIDI. The only way I’ve found is to treat the synth like an analog audio device and connect the line out in to the iPad/iPhone using an interface or even just the onboard mic. You’re obviously going to lose the ability to then edit the notes afterwards which is the major drawback. I’ll link a video where I show how to do this below and you might also want to check out some Facebook groups such as iPad Musician and GarageBand Users as there are a heap of more knowledgeable folks there too. 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gamxdGmDj8SlrNE

Hello Pete and really THANK you for all the good works you've done from years about Garageband knowledge. As I am a totally Garageband iOS composer I already watched your videos about plugin external gears in usb and it works fine. Now becoming a performer of my compositions I wanted to ask you if you think it would be possible to trigger the liveLoops in Tracks view with an external controller ? (almost like it's possible in Ableton live but I wish to stay in garage band 🥰) Waiting for your answer if you think you have one for me, and wishing you all the best !

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

MIDI keyboards are really only usable for keyboard sounds. I don’t believe they generally work for Live Loops sorry.

[@oulivier]

Okay thank you for this specific answer Pete !
