Greetings from Ireland Pete, and just a quick note of gratitude, for the virtual hand-holding through the entire GarageBand recording, mixing, mastering and releasing process. I had collection of songs in my head for years and played in covers bands in Ireland & UK since the 80s, but was daunted by more detailed aspects of GarageBand since starting working with it in early 2020. However, your easily understandable tutorials were a great help and, in with greater spare time in the current lockdown, I’ve just uploaded by album for release. Thanks again, Pete. Stay safe..... Only Ben

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Brilliant! Great to hear Ben. Please make sure you send me a link to the album so I can add it to my playlist and take a listen.

This was a nice basic tutorial on how to write a song. I sometimes hum the lead vocal and sometimes play it in on the keyboard.

[@johncitizen3361]

Fantastic GarageBand video thanks mate 👍 In the late 80s I was part owner of a 4 track recorder that used compact cassettes, the band I was in bought it so we could record jam sessions and make demo tapes, things have changed so much 😂 Eventually I kind of stopped making music and only occasionally picked up a guitar to noodle around or jam along to something. I never even looked at GarageBand until recently after one of your videos came up in my feed. I started playing with the beat sequencer on my iPad and remembered I had an old iRig thingy that connects guitar through the iPad earphone socket. I dug that out and started making tracks using the virtual instruments in GarageBand and real guitars. Now I’m hooked and thinking about picking up a MIDI keyboard and proper audio interface for external instruments/mic. I owe you a big thanks for getting me back into making music and helping me learn how to use GarageBand 🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m not alone in this as I’ve found that my lack of devotion allowed for the cares of this life, work, relationships, family & such we overloaded ourselves with when we were young caused many of us to lay down instruments we loved playing & became good little boys & girls conforming to the perceived average workweek family functions attending enormous numbers of events that ate up more hours of each week, month, & years that while much satisfaction, still the tail was wagging the old dog.😝😵‍💫It was stupid of me to lay down the electric guitar.

Have you got any tips for “punching in” recording live bass and one bar in the middle is a bit iffy for timing. Need to just replace the one or 2 bars but keep the sustain and flow smooth, so it doesn’t sound like it’s overdubbed.

Can you give some guidance on intros and outros in garageband? Thanks !

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. It’s a good question. I do have some complete songwriting series here on the channel where I talk about intros and outros, but maybe a specific video might be a good idea?

Great Walkthrough!! Can i ask what size ipad you have? Looking at buying one but not sure if 64gb is enough for music production plus other apps. Thanks 👍

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

64gb is okay but if you can I would go for 128 or 256.

[@robertkitto6412]

@@PeteJohnsMusic thank you!!! Might get the iPad Air 4 with 256gb hopefully that would be good enough. Thanks again for the quick response 👍

Hey Pete, loved this vid but I'm having a hard time getting stuff from garage band to KZbin. I was hoping you could make a video or even reply with help. Thanks!

In one of your previous videos you showed how to use a lightning cable and hook up a interface with a AC powered USB with four ports how do you transfer that to a additional external hard drive
