Well actually this is the real reason why the world goes round, Since gravity pulls inward from all directions equally, the amorphous clump, if massive enough, will eventually become a round planet. Inertia then keeps that planet spinning on its axis unless something occurs to disturb it. "The Earth keeps spinning because it was born spinning,"
I moved here from Charles short intro to GarageBand, which I found too fast for a true newbe, and find this extended version to be clearer and very helpful. If music production doesn’t work for you Charles, you should teach meditation. You have a very soothing, calm voice and manner. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
You released this a day before I purchased my first Mac (after being a life-long PC/Windows user), so great timing :-). This is awesome content, and well presented! Thanks.
This is so unfair. This video shouls have millions of views by the quality it has! This guy did an amazing job and deserves the recognition. Thank you for being the first person to put in the effort to make a well detailed video on the subject that is suit for begginers.
You are an exceptional teacher - I have learnt so much. Others talk too fast and do not explain what they are doing. Everything is very clear. - I have subscribed and hope to see more from you. And I have listened to your music - well done.
Thanks John. Really appreciate the kind words. If you’re looking for more GarageBand tutorials i just released a large full scale course for free on RU-vid yesterday. It’s on my channel.
Charles. You are truly a gifted teacher. Thank you for explaining everything you do and why you do it. Making sense of the whys and wherefores makes all the difference. Thank you.
Hey, if you go into your description box and literally put *0:00** Beginning* before the rest of your timecodes it'll create chapters for the video so people can click around and follow along easier in the playhead on RU-vid. Just saying. I came here from your 10-minute tutorial, thanks!
Hi just wanna say thank you for this video. Through out my teen years people didn’t want to help me out or push my music so I finally decided to record my own music and I’m starting to use garage band so this video helped !
Thanks for this tutorial. I'm learning how to play the piano and was struggling with counting 8th notes while playing with the metronome on. Then youtube suggested this video and I realized I still had a 6 year old MacBook Pro that was mostly collecting dust. Hooked it up to my digital piano, re-installed GarageBand, added a drummer backing track and now I can even play those pesky 8th notes without getting off beat. And scale practices no longer sound boring either. So thank you so much for this video!
Great tutorial. Will be watching this one again and again and taking notes. Loving Garage Band. This app is a far cry from the cubase program I learnt 30 years ago. Tech moves quick :)
I just wanted to reach out on this video and publicly praise you for this piece. Already have you subscribed. Around 3-4 months ago I discovered I could make music on my phone and computer. But I was confused on many of the features of this free program on Mac/IOS, GarageBand. As of last week, I have now produced, monetized, and released 2 House Music songs. Continuing to "work" on new stuff everyday. I'm not expecting anything and just seeing how this goes. But I don't believe I have ever been happier. Your video came across my feed again. I just wanted to say that it was a part of that jumping off point. You did some real good here for others I'm sure as well. Now getting back to "work." lol. Again, thank you.
Charles - Thank you so much for this. This covers so much more than the userguide or so many other attempts at intros to Garageband. I have collected so many great youtube videos on pieces of Garageband, song structure, etc., but your coverage of this is superb in its content. I echo the comments about "teach meditation" if music production doesn't turn out. lol Your calming way of teaching is truly golden. Best wishes for success. Well done!
So far it is being really good, really helpful, good to follow and fun to do!!!!!!! Thank you so much!! Now... I go and continue to complete this tutorial!!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO!!!! The way you explained is easy to understand and did help me to learn how to use Garageband quickly! Again, thank you so much for this wonderful video. =)
Thank you sooooo much Charles, you are a natural teacher and phenomenal presenter...This layout is organized so well that a complete novice (referring to myself), doesn't feel nearly as intimidated as one might without your help, thank you VERY much! Interestingly enough, my daughter and her partner helped my wife and I to record on their computer (in GarageBand), a song for part of our family living abroad. My wife and I sing, with accompaniment on an acoustic guitar as well, thats it presently. Sooo, instead of starting with a blank slate, so to speak, we now have this very simple song (uploaded and on my computer), with hopes of completing it in time for Christmas. Would you have any comment to make for someone like ourselves, who is starting out with this much as a foundation to build around? Thank you for considering our situation. -Peter Pelchen, Kalispell ,Montana
Hi Peter, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that.I's recommend looking into the Garageband Drummer tracks if you're looking to have some accompaniment on the drums or if not you could look at adding a Garageband bass track or some strings to help fill out your sound. I do have another video coming next week on Garageband but I'm not sure if it will be ready in time for you before Christmas.
Thank you for this wonderful introduction. I love hearing your very clear voice, which make it, as I'm a non native speaker, very understandable. I already viewed a lot of other RU-vid tutorials with GB introduction, but not only one was so detailed and easy to follow as yours. So thank you very much for all your efforts and I will of course watch your other videos as well and thumbs up and abo is a must :-)
Thanks a bunch for this tutorial, really good job guiding us newbies... Any thoughts on whether to acquire a (cheap) midi controller right off the bat compared to using the lap's keyboard until feeling more comfortable with the tool?
Thanks for watching, I recommend looking into the Akai or Alesis midi controllers as they offer some cheap options for starters and different sizes to so whether you want a small one or big one. For instance, the akai mpk mini is an example of a small one.
Charles another brilliant video. Thank you. In what you call the “inspector window” there is a horizontal zoom feature. Can you the vertical zoom be changed???? Very hard to see.
@@CharlesCleyn So good to know. Thank you so much. If I may, how? In particular the vertical zoom. There must be a command for this??? I’ve searched everywhere and even all the forums I’ve read draw a blank.
I soooo appreciate this! I'm mimicking what you've done, changing sounds a bit, learning lots. Question - with using the argeggiator feature - can I use it for part of the song, stop it, then bring it back in? Or does it need to be an all or nothing kind of thing?
Hey Marlene, you can definitely stop it in one part of the song and then bring it back in, that's no problem at all. I think it's more of a stylistic thing to what type of mood you're trying to build with your song.
Good stuff, but can you point me to a tutorial which shows me how to do the very basic operations which you do so fast on here i.e. Copying, pasting, deleting, looping etc. I am an absolute beginner and have no idea how to do these. thanks
I'm LITERALLY new to this and have everything I need to start recording. I'm confused first off, LOL! My first question is, once you start a new project (for the very first time), how do you upload beats to garage band so you can sing to that beat? I need step by step for that, so I can get started.
@@danielleburks4436 Hey Danielle, sure thing, no problem. Are your beats in audio files? You can drag them into your GB session and it will automatically add the tracks for you. Are you also using logic or just GB? This video could be interesting for you, it's in logic but a lot of the stuff is transferable to GB: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aV_hMPWEG2s.html
@@CharlesCleyn Hi Charles, thanks for your response. I thought you were using GB. I do have logic but never even attempted to utilize it, im still trying to learn GB. My beats are saved in a folder on my Windows 10 desktop. Im going to email them to myself and save them on my iMAC. Will that work?
Hi Charles, I tried changing a software instrument, but still no sound being transferred from my keyboard, ( Yamaha YPG235) to my desktop Apple iMac. The computer reads O when I read the audio/midi window. Don’t know if the keyboard is not set up to send midi via usb. I had zero problems when using the same keyboard with an audio interface into GB ios. Very frustrating!
Great video, it really helped. One thing that's not clear to me: when you go to the section where you quantized notes, what are those light lines inside of the notes green boxes?
@@CharlesCleyn Thank you...and lastly, have you got any tips to remove background noise? I tried to use the noise gate but it only works in the parts where i'm not singing/playing.
Hey! Great tutorial bud. I have just started out with GarageBand as my first DAW. And one problem is really bothering me. I used musical typing and used the keypad as keys because I don't have a MIDI. But while recording I pressed tab for 'sustain' , but in playback there is no sustain....is there any other way than just extending the notes in the editor, because that doesn't really have the same effect...thanks in advance!
Hey Mamuli, the sustain notes should carry through even if you're using musical typing. To double check this, open up the piano roll editor and click on the automation icon. (it looks like a little dna symbol), and then the bottom left you can change it from "velocity" to "sustain" and here is where you can edit it your own sustain notes.
Very good tutorial. All the GB tutorials seem to be about making pop music. I am going for a very Americana organic acoustic non-pop non-commerical sound with vocal, acoustic guitar and minimalist supporting tracks. Any suggestions, words or wisdom or advice for me?
Hey Felix, thanks for watching, my advice would be to get a good mic and audio interface and start practicing recording this organic instruments you have and over time you will get better!
Thanks Steve. Great to have you here. Hope all my GarageBand videos can help my out. I recently just release a really big free GB course. It’s on my channel if you’re interested.
Thanks for the great content! Do you have any suggestions for sound bleed when panning? I'm panning click and cues hard left and tracks hard right for live performance, click/cues for musicians only, Tracks for house. Click and tracks are dry but still getting detectable bleed in tracks. Thanks in advance
I have been trying to learn garageband for over 10 years. It has been nothing but frustrating. I usually just record my own songs live because this program is soooooooooooo difficult. Any ideas? I just want bare bones.
@@lazzohrusovsky873 thank you soo much i hope to make it to help my family someday thanks for replying it makes me feel better knowing it have somebody who really respect my comment love ur positivity
Hi Ricton, keep exploring GarageBand, it’s great for beginners and definitely you found a good channel to learn it. Creating music is a beautiful healing thing 👋
Hey Christian, you can quantize a vocal recording too. It does get a bit more tricky or obvious if you do but it's certainly possible. However, only in logic. Not garageband.
