Let's do it together.

Recently, the GarageBand app has been getting everyone New user with the purchase of any Mac or iOS device. Let's see what this program is.

We will deal with the guys who know all about Apple. Many thanks to them for the educational program.

launch

At the first start, the program will download the main package of the most necessary musical instruments. It will take quite a bit of time. An additional advanced package can be downloaded later for free. It will weigh about seven gigabytes.

When you open GarageBand, you will see a window with project presets. In the advanced project settings, you can set the tempo and tone of the future composition.

It is also possible to run guitar and keyboard lessons. In the same section, you can buy additional video lessons from famous musicians who will teach you how to play their songs on the guitar or keyboard.

Program device

And so you launched GarageBand. By default, an empty project will have one instrument open, the classic electric piano. On the left you will see the "Library" section, in which you can select the desired tool. By clicking on the button with the “+” sign above the tracks, you will see a window with a choice of the type of new instrument. It will be a virtual instrument, audio recording and "Drummer".

When you select a track not with a virtual instrument, but with the ability to record audio, presets with audio effects appear in the library window. These will be the settings for recording voices and guitars.

"Drummer" is a smart instrument for quick creation drum tracks. It contains very flexible settings, not concentrating on the technical component, but allowing you to communicate with him as with a live musician. For example, with the help of a special panel, just ask him to play a little quieter and use a slightly more complicated drawing - and he will do it right there!

Recording from line-in or microphone

If you want to record voice, guitar, or any other real musical instrument, you can do it with the built-in microphone, plug an external microphone or instrument into your computer's audio input, or use an external audio interface, which I'll talk about a little later.

Virtual instruments and effects

Virtual Instruments are software music plug-ins. It can be an all-digital synthesizer or an audio sample-based instrument.

GarageBand already has a huge selection of these tools to suit the widest range of genres. But if you want to try something different, you can install third-party music plug-ins in Audio Unit format. Starting with iOS 9, audio plugins are supported systemically and on mobile platform. There aren't many of them yet, but it's only a matter of time.

To launch such a plugin, create any virtual instrument, click on the “B” button or the Smart controls icon on the top left, in the bottom panel that opens, click on “i”. You will see a Plug-ins dropdown menu. In the same place, you can adjust the track's audio effect or add a third-party effect plugin, if you have one installed.

AT iOS versions when choosing a new instrument, simply scroll down to the Audio Units section.

Working with MIDI

All notes played on the software instruments are recorded in the format midi. Midi regions can be distinguished from audio files even externally. What you see is not a sound wave, but rectangular notes, each of which can be edited after recording - shifted along the timeline, pitch and pressing force.

Using the Quantize function, you can immediately align the entire midi region along the rhythmic grid. A very handy feature for both novice musicians and experienced keyboardists, just to speed up the recording process.

Apple Loops

This is a special format of short audio files that can automatically adjust to your project - in time and tone. You don't need to know the original tempo of this recording at all - just drag the loop to a new track and it will adjust to your song.

GarageBand comes with a fairly large library of different genres and types of Apple Loops. These are percussion, and string instruments, and drums, and much more. Ideal for quickly creating both musical sketches and full-fledged compositions.

Our choice: acoustics for listening to masterpieces created in GarageBand:

most portable - fits in your pocket
unrealistically stylish - girls will definitely appreciate
for those who are not afraid
no longer just a stereo system, but rather a black square in the world of acoustics

Using optional recording devices

If you get into music a little more seriously, then you will probably think about buying an external sound card. It will come in handy for channel recording. Let's say you want to record a song with a guitar or even a few guitars, but you want to play it all "live". Connect an external multi-channel audio interface via USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, set it up so that each individual track in GarageBand “sees” a separate channel - and go!

Many modern audio interfaces also support iOS via a USB Camera adapter. So there is an opportunity to organize.

Version differences on iOS and Mac

The Mac and iOS versions have quite a few differences, mostly due to input type differences. On iOS, you launch a virtual piano and play right on the screen, and you can set the scale that will match your song and you will not make a mistake in any note. On a Mac, you still need to connect a Midi keyboard (or any other midi controller) to play keyboards.

There are also a lot more smart tools in GarageBand for iOS. This is not only "Drummer", but also a simplified version of it - Smart drums. Also Smart Keyboard, Smart Guitar and Smart Bass.

There is also a Sampler tool. With it, you can record absolutely any sound and play it on the keyboard as if it were a simple piano.

On an iPad or iPhone, GarageBand will offer you the ability to record audio from other music apps using the Inter-app Audio feature.

The iOS version also has a completely new mode for working with music - Live Loops. It invites you to work with all instruments, both virtual and stored in audio files, in loop format. You will see a grid with squares, each of which is a loop. Loupes of one instrument are arranged horizontally.

You can run one loop at a time, or the entire vertical row at once.

Each loop can be customized and edited. He can play in a circle, once or even backwards.

And, of course, you can create your own loops using any tool in GarageBand.

This mode is most suitable for creating dance music, but even if you don't have the desire to become David Guetta, you will spend hours playing with looped tracks. And don't forget to hit the Rec button =)

Despite the differences between GarageBand on desktop and iOS, projects created in either version open on both Mac and iPhone. What's more, GarageBand projects can be opened in its big brother, Logic Pro X, for more serious work on your composition.

How to make and record your track

Now let's try to make the first composition in GarageBand ourselves.
So let's get started.

Launch the GarageBand app on your iPad click the plus sign in the top left corner to create a new project.

drums

Scroll through the instruments to the drummer and select it. Press on play, try different settings and you'll hear how your drummer's playing style changes on the fly. Choose the one you like.

To change the tempo, click on the project settings button on the top right. There you can change both the speed and the key of the song.

Go to the track mode on the button on the top left. Increase the duration of the song by tapping on the plus sign on the timeline on the right.

We shorten the drum track. Create a new region of drums by clicking on an empty space on the track and selecting the "create" option. Then click on the region and "edit". We repeat what we did earlier with the new region so that the drummer's playing style is slightly different.

Guitar

Let's add a smart guitar track by clicking on the plus sign at the bottom left in the tracks mode.
Choose the guitar you like and turn on autoplay. First press play and play the chords to find and memorize your favorite combination. When you're ready to record, click on Rec.

If you want to change a recorded part, you can do so by tapping on it. Select "edit" and go to midi editing mode. To add or remove a note, hold down the pen icon at the top left. Each note can be changed in length, moved or deleted.

You can also cut the region into two parts. To do this, set the slider on the timeline to the place where you want to cut the region and select the "split" option. We pull the scissors that have appeared down and you're done - now we have two ringtones.

Create a smart bass and smart key track in the same way. As you play these instruments, remember what chords you played on the smart guitar before. Record and edit parts on them.

Add a keyboard track. In order not to make a mistake in the notes, we will turn on the display mode of the keys only for our key. We remember that we have the key of D major, so we choose the major mode. Record the organ part. Then, in track mode, press "tune" and "quantize" to align the notes.

Sound setting

To fine tune the sound your song, select each track in turn and then click on the mixer button on the top right. Here you can adjust the volume, panning, effects, frequencies and compression.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the volume of your individual tracks and the overall mix. If the volume indicator of one of the tracks turns red during playback, turn it down. If the sound of this instrument as a result “disappears” behind the rest, or the indicator of the overall volume turns red, turn down the volume of all tracks a little.

We export

Healthy: what to listen to the track before showing it to the public:

for complete immersion in creativity
the most stylish composers
for those who don't like wires

Here's what happened to me.

Outcome

Perhaps many of us secretly dream of making music, but are afraid that this is a very difficult task. It's actually... it's really a tricky business, but GarageBand is designed in such a way that even the most inexperienced musician can easily get carried away with creating compositions, perceiving it as a game. And this is the most correct approach. It is quite possible that the new Jimi Hendrix or Jean-Michel Jar is hiding in you.
