Motivation for the people! I love it, thank you!

Lots of information here in a very quick and easy to follow video. And all with that classic GarageBand Guide vibe. A must for new GB iOS users. 👍🤘

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Thanks for that Pete 👍

[@natoshabenton5754]

I’m a big fan

[@maximilianorowan6658]

i guess Im quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?

[@seanpeter1901]

@Maximiliano Rowan Flixportal =)

[@maximilianorowan6658]

@Sean Peter thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !

[@tinarobillard545]

Thanks - nice to hear a Scottish accent :-)

[@julioarroyo63]

Do you have something more basic? I'm an enthusiast and I don't have knowledge at all about musical production. I'm a really big fan of sampling and MPC but don't know how to use them either. Thanks for your time.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Hey Julio, Apple have a fairly decent manual that takes you through the basics of how everything works here: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/garageband-ipad/welcome/ipados

[@HiHello-ro5bb]

Thank you so much for the introduction!!! I’ve been having a lot of trouble using GarageBand since I want to record a song, but most tutorials are really fast or aren’t really thorough at explaining. Thank you so much!! 😊

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Glad you found it useful!

[@Khordmaster]

Awesome face at 0:02... I thought I was the only one who makes this face. I'm impressed. Watching the video now to get my garage band skills up lol

[@stamisme26]

Don’t give up!

[@thesullivanstreetproject]

Straightforward and helpful, as usual! I'd love to see more content about GB for iPad. I recently started using it more because I'm on the road lately. Patrick, have you found that seeing the guitar fretboard on the screen like that changes the way you think about writing guitar parts? Something about it being laid out in front of me more like a piano has an effect on the way I see it, and I tend to think of the instrument differently.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Need a 2020 update of this! Just got a new iPhone SE and iPad 11 inch and I’m so excited 😆 can’t wait to learn

[@tammybarrett7529]

Plan to use this to teach kids songwriting at school! Thanks for the good info!

[@harleenoble]

This was very helpful and everything was taught at a very good pace. You explained things at the perfect speed for me to be able to absorb it all haha. I’m excited to give this a try... thank you!

[@suhaanishrivastava4070]

Is it possible to use garage band if you don’t know how to play an instrument?😅😅

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Absolutely! There are thousands of loops you can use to build a song, touch instruments come with autoplay modes that do all the melody work for you and live loop grids allow you to remix tracks in different genres in real time.

[@lindasue8719]

For a beginner, would you recommend sticking to the loops as an accompaniment while getting used to the other features?

[@reginaldhunter3769]

Is this only for iPhone how about mac mini?

[@hellobye5952]

I need help: Every time I click on an instrument for example the piano, the keys won’t show up for me and it’s just blank. How do I fix that?

[@rrainestorm]

g ok then what do you do there?

Thanks man, I appreciate you watching 👍

How do I connect sections Section A to section B ect...

[@siddhantsinghnegi9608]

Tim Long There is a + button and then u can add sections and select all

[@turbosoggyofficial6849]

Xx Xander _2004 I think he means like put them together

[@nickilema1074]

Yeah how do I put them together:/

[@drdetroitband]

Brilliant tutorial mate, thank you from Australia! I'm a budding KZbinr and was wondering how you circle zoomed onto specific parts of the screen? Any help would be wonderful.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! I use Screenflow screen recording/editing software 👍

I’m one of those dislikes, BOI do I like Samsung so much, and I don’t like apple much.

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

And of course, search up and read that manual. There's so much in there that it's a must to read to make heads or tails of 80% of the stuff. The only thing that really screws me up is the use of symbols for every menu and a lot of the editing techniques are.. clunky. But for a functioning recording studio on my phone that's pretty much freeware, I'm not going to complain too much. But really, read that manual. It looks daunting to read, and the way it's formatted online is kind of awkward with it's links all over the place, but it actually doesn't take that long and it's a must read with this powerful music maker.

[@michaelarmitage1709]

Great introduction, Pete! I have a new Ipad, and am getting to grips with all these new bells and whistles, and your presentation has helped enormously! Happy New Year!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Michael Armitage Wrong channel Michael, this is Patrick, not Pete 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@michaelarmitage1709]

@@TheGaragebandGuide Oh Blast! Hi Patrick, I do apologise! Being a paid-up member of the grey hair brigade, I read all your other comments, and then proceeded to screw up, get confused, say 'sod it' and said the wrong name! (It was early this morning when all folk should be safely in their beds, and I couldn't sleep, so decided to do something about it all)! It's still a great post and for such a good app, well worth a good watch BTW, in Kate Bush's song, 'Joanni', there is a regular back-beat with a sort of 'clunk'. Have you any idea what instrument may be used here? Clearly it's a percussion beat, but I want to reproduce it - mainly because I like it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn2pc4Jnh8lqfqc Sorry to be a pest - it could be just a rim-shot, reproduced, but there again, it isn't in any library I know of...... Best wishes and thanks again! M.

[@sdoofie]

Tysm this helped me with my music homework

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Happy to help! 👍

[@dandrem.4074]

So you basically have to know how to play and instrument fully to use this thing?

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Not necessarily

[@Chloe_P_Bass]

No, not at all. If you use the autoplay function on the 'smart' option for each instrument it does all the tricky bits of music (eg playing in time and knowing what notes to pick) for you. I work in a special needs school where I teach music and regularly use garage band to allow pupils to be able to write their own songs with little to no knowledge/ability to play traditional instruments. That's why garageband is SO good, its incredibly inclusive and easy to be creative without having to spend a lifetime on how to play guitar. This is a fantastic tutorial!

[@meep9231]

Does anyone know how to use the high hat while drumming? I usually use my thumbs for the snare and kick, but when I try to do rides and toms it’s kinda hard

[@marlinmoone_music]

@@meep9231 Maybe do it separately like on a different layer and line it up so it times right with the beat lmao that’s what I do

[@Wowurstupid4422]

now all i gotta do is figure out how to save it and use it as a ringtone

i've got some song lyrics, the only problem is i have no freaking idea to actually make like the sounds with garageband, but now, we'll just have to see how well i work on garageband now. i hope i can do well...

[@Meiryst]

TheGarageBandGuide np I kinda gave up on it now due to it being so hard for me if i tried harder I think I would be able to do it

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I was curious what GB is like. You could talk more about the guitar panel capabilities. For ehamle is there programmed strumming patterns and examples.Thanks.

[@anzatzi]

I had no idea...this looks great

[@tiagofiao]

Great video! Two questions my friend: 1 - how to set up the compass 2 x 4? Is it possible? I didn’t find this option in iPhone version. 2 - once I recorded in stereo, is it possible to convert in mono? Many thanks! Cheers

You just got a new subscriber! I’ve been into music my whole life from instruments to singing etc. I decided recently that I wanted to try to make my own and add my own twists to things, this was very helpful thank you :)

[@crateworthy1]

Patrick: Loads of great info and easy to follow thanks. Forgive my ignorance and I may have missed something. Having brought up the drum kits in the keyboard section I notice that there don't seem to be any snares. Help me please. Robert

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Try changing upping or lowering the octaves on the piano. Chances are the snares are mapped to different keys than the ones you're currently seeing.

[@crateworthy1]

I dropped the keyboard one octave and yes there are snare drums: I'll have a go taking it up to see what that has to offer. Thanks Patrick

Garageband is such a great app for a free app. Wouldn't ask for more.

It' needs more tho. Needs more plugins and sounds. And it needs turn tables and turn table sounds for scratching and mixing. Needs to almost be like FL studio but BETTER

I’m really having problems tracking what you are doing. As you mention things like tabs, buttons, icons, I’m not clear where to find the in my app. Do you have any suggestions or tips,that can help me find the sections you are talking about, and then there are obvious changes between each version, so it will really heels me to know what version.

Hey Patrick my MacBook Air is dying a hard death, so I may have to purchase a iPad. How do you feel regarding Garageband Vs iOS GB?

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

William Ryde GB for iOS is more beginner/user friendly and the touch instruments sound great. It does lack the depth of the Mac version when it comes to editing and mixing though. Pop into your nearest Apple store and give it a try!
