One - Metallica | GarageBand cover by Zan Music 

Thanks! I thought the bass might be better if it was audible compared to the album.

@@ZanMusicYT i still couldn't hear it though...

@@flaggyanimzMaybe listen a little closer, as it is very audible for most of this cover.

Finally a version of one that Jason can appreciate

​@@interstellargaming2524it's horrible what the other band members did to Jason.

Yes, it took more than a month for me to make this cover!

@@ZanMusicYTdamn

@@ZanMusicYTthat’s amazing👍

​@@ZanMusicYT dam

Bro, i did this bandlab in like 3 days

Theres a video out there titled And Justice for Jason check it out

@@syndrodomeYes, it’s very good!

I’ll see what I can do!

@@ZanMusicYT No way Bro really accepted It 💀, Good Luck there man because you will need It ✊😎🚈💨

​@ZanMusicYT this oughta be a banger

Thanks! I’ve been thinking about writing my own music for a while, but I think I may start soon with GarageBand.

@ZanMusicYT garageband is very versatile. You can use the virtual instruments to make any kind of music, so I say go for it :D

@@ZanMusicYT I write my own music using GarageBand. Over 2 years, I've come to master all aspects of it. I believe!

Thank you

Yes, the solo was very hard but I was able to use the keyboard instrument with the guitar sound. (This is why it may not be as good).

Thanks, I know this but decided not to do it for this cover.

@@ZanMusicYTand your timing is abit off ngl still good though 👍any tips for how to do stuff like this

@@driftstangaj9772its really not

No way it’s GarageBand

@@driftstangaj9772Timing is not off, everything is on beat with the metronome. You might be confused because of the various time signature changes throughout this cover.

If you’re wondering, I just record each instrument track, then edit and fix any mess up’s I may have. This cover here took me around 1 month. Thanks!

@@ZanMusicYT thx

I see, your just like Lars.

@@ZanMusicYT Lars is the greatest drummer ever

is that you lars

@@bassdude114 Ah fuck, you got me.

@@user-il4ul5js3vI agree Lars is a great drummer as a massive Metallica fan, but i will say his ideas of mixing on the Justice album in particular were a bit absurd.

Appreciate that

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you, I will

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Thanks!

I'm glad you like it

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! And I’m thinking about finding a good daw for me to use.

Thank you

Thank you!

Fr

A lot

Yes, there is a very big difference to make there. I do hope you still enjoyed this cover though!

@@ZanMusicYT yeah oc the amount of time programming that has to be enormous

Yeah, i know what you mean. I really tried to make it hit harder, but there were some limits to it.

@@ZanMusicYT Its fine. Still sounds pretty cool.

Thank you!

@@ZanMusicYTYou know, I have AJFA on cassette. I never appreciated the album as much as the first three, and I never listened to the cassette as much either. I’m gonna try it today

@@UpTheIrons12Great, make sure to listen to ‘To live is to die’. It’s a beautiful and heavy ballad dedicated to Cliff.

probably keyboard

Yes, I used the keyboard.

Thanks!

Thank you!

@@ZanMusicYT no thank you for this master piece

Agreed!

@@ZanMusicYT I might have to do a full One cover myself. You inspired me

@@notzipfy916 Glad to be an inspiration for you!

@@ZanMusicYT how did you do the drums, by the way. It crosses different time signatures so I can’t really figure it out

@@notzipfy916I just look up a drum score for the song, and ignore the time signature changes. If you use the drum beat sequencer, you can make the drums more accurate.

Thanks, maybe sometime!

Im planning on it

@@ZanMusicYTyeah holy wars

Thanks!

I think I’ll start working on this one!

I used the ‘Drum sequencer’ for the drums in this cover. In my opinion for the time changes, i would just follow the drum score of the song and try to ignore the time signature changes.

No, the drum beat for the entire song is supposed to have closed hi-hats.

@@ZanMusicYT If you listen to the drum track its like half open (i dont play drums so i dont know if there is a word for that)

@@jaxon1913.My bad, I just double checked the drum track and it should be open!

Kind of both, as I know the song by heart on guitar, but for the parts I forgot I simply looked up the tab.

You click on the ‘settings’ gear icon in the top left, then it will say “Section A”. Click on this box and it will allow you to add as many measures as you like! Hope this helps

@@ZanMusicYT thank you man

@@Spells1 No problem

I like both, but in my opinion one is a bit better and more of a classic Metallica theme.

@@ZanMusicYT i respect ur opinion, dude

Imprisoning me

All that I see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Yes!

Good question, I used Eb tuning mainly for the reason that Metallica now plays most of their songs live in Eb, also I chose it because I think it gives it a better feel overall.

@@ZanMusicYT nice, when I did a GarageBand cover of One, I used Eb tuning. It sounded heavy!

​@@ZanMusicYTwell they mostly play it in eb bc it's easier on James voice and it's easier to bend strings.

@JaBismarck Yes, this is also true.

For me, if there’s anything past the 12th fret, then I just take it over to a synth track and change it to a guitar sound. (For example, the end solo)

usually what i just end up doing is manually fixing the notes in the editor or doing it an octave lower. if i’m fixing it, i play the basic rhythm of the part just so that it’s easier to put the right notes in. i hate having unnecessary tracks lol

@@radioactive.redwood I do this too sometimes

Спасибо, и я согласен, остальные звуки сложно воспроизвести в электронном виде.

Been thinking about it, I’ll have to try it some time.

real

Got it

Yes, I used a midi to give me a starting basis with this cover.

Thanks for the feedback, I didn’t use palm muting on the guitars as I used a synth track for all guitars. I was going to use vocals, but they were a bit too overpowering in the final product. I realized halfway through this recording that some of the distorted guitars were too loud, so I muted one track. Also, considering the end section of this, the reason it is a bit too slow is that I made this cover in only one project, so I had to have a set tempo. With the drums, I experimented with multiple different sounds. (SoCal, Heavy, Live Rock Kit, Bluebird, etc.) I found the ‘heavy’ drum kit to be the best for the Tom fills as well as the very present double bass drum. Finally, I already added a ton of chorus to the clean guitars as well as eqing them a lot in this song.

@@ZanMusicYT Using the actual guitars are a lot better, they sound heavier and palm muting is an option. If the vocals and guitars are too overpowering, experiment with the mixing, I think you'll get a good result. For a punchy drum sound, I recommend using Retro Rock for hi-hats and rides, Bluebird for snares at toms (full velocity is way better) and SoCal with scooped mids for crash and kick. For the chorus, 16% intensity and 64% mix makes it sound nice and woozy.

This is what I used when I covered 'One'

can’t control this, i tried my best for a decent guitar sound. GarageBand has its limits.

as ın the original lol

no, i used the midi as a starting basis and then transformed it to my own cover

This is not fully true, as I started with the midi but then transformed it to my own cover of this song. I added many things and it is not just ‘downloading the midi and screen recording it’. It is much more than this.

It’s not out of rhythm, and the guitar sound has its limits in GarageBand.

i can play the guitar, quite well actually.
