You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
If you set up a scratch track, play the drum part you want to here by beating some 🎤 books. Open a new drum track and click the follow box and assign to your scratch track. It’s a fun way to get there.
Please please please help!!! How do you enable auto drummer ??????? I record scratch guitar line but the drums won't follow! HOW DO YOU MAKE AUTO DRUMMER FOLLOW YOUR GUITAR LINE??????
robert lawton When you are in the auto drummer window, look at the bottom option, to the right of the illustrated drum kit. To the right of the words “kick and snare“ you will see a small box that says “follow“. Click on that, then below it you will need to select your guitar track.
Thanks, I wasn’t looking for this video.. it just appeared... but I did want to know how to vary the drummers’ patterns so it doesn’t sound like a drum machine. I’ll put this knowledge to good use. Thanks again
(15:00) Great summary in reference to the Auto Drummer feature: “Unbelievably powerful part of GB that is highly underrated” You just showed me simple features that are very intuitive and versatile. As an added bonus, it was fun watching you work - thanks!!
About three months ago I started working on my 6th studio album, Blue Candy, and I am using Garageband with EZ Drummer. I have been checking out your videos over the past few days because I never really knew how to mix and/or master but really wanted to learn more. I also came across the auto drummer tutorial videos and my mind was blown. This drumming editor makes EZ Drummer look like an idiot! Thank you sir you are really helping me up my game!! Best, Robbie!
I was always a bit confused about how to use the Auto Drummer Tool. This really help me to understand how to lay down, edit and tweek the drum sounds. Great video! Really Great!
Your videos are super well made and easy to understand. I am in the middle of transitioning from an 8-track hard disk console (Zoom HD-8) to Garageband, and I find your instructional vids the best on RUclips! And I MUST commend you on your own songs, they are fabulous. Keep up the good work, Lewin, and thank you.
Dude, this is genius stuff! I'm so glad I saw this video because the Auto Drummer was always a bit tricky and too random to me. Now, after this video, not so much anymore. Thanks!
That was brilliant! The bit at the end involving how to manipulate the drums using midi, and the half time part, were so helpful! Thanks so much for this!
Something that I like to do sometimes is make tiny splits in the middle of the fill. It gives you a lot more variety, especially when making long fills for transitions, since you can adjust an individual fill knob for each part to get a desired and more fitting fill.
Totally yes!! I actually said that in the first version of this video, but had to delete it because I had forgotten to set my Focusrite as the audio input for my Video editor, so the only audio that got recorded came in through my webcam, which sucks!! Thanks for the comment!!
hey .. so ive been trying to figure this out for days and you've explained it so very clearly ... thanks, look forward to checking out the other videos,. you certainly earn my subscription !!
I've just changed over to mac from pc. I got myself a mid 2012 macbook pro. I'm downloading Garageband while I watch your videos. I love the way you explain the process. Subscribed!
Lewin - thanks for the great tips on auto-drummer. I would suggest that you somehow highlight your cursor so us viewers can see where on the screen you are working. I had to watch a few times to see where you were referring to on the "half-time. It's always in the same place" step. Thanks again.
Great tutorial I’m working on a demo and unfortunately I don’t own a kit to record real Drums and this auto drummer has been giving me a massive head ache. Thanks !
Very useful Lewin, thanks. I admire your upbeat spirit, keep doing your stuff. Autodrummer is such a valuable resource for us drumless musos working out of a bedroom!
very good explaining Lewin. I have also had good luck using the arranger track to dictate the drums. Also, having the drums follow a particular track by toggling that on in the drummer section. I really dig the trick of changing it into a midi track fro editing. As always, great learning to be had on this channel. thanks Lewin
Ive just got to say, thank for your incredibly informative videos and articulately concise teaching. Im learning a lot from you. Ive been a professional musician for decades now having only just got into this process of home recording, I always check out your videos which is slowly but surely improving the content I'm producing myself. Thank you so much, though Im not quite there yet, I'm enthusiastically getting there.. Plus if you ever want a sax player on a track doing a solo, I'd be happy to repay my gratitude.
What You're doing after 11:30 is a nice hack! Thanks 😅 btw I must stick to this stock drums, cause my Ez drummer 3 doesn't show in Garage band its strange issuw... suprisingly Ableton on the same mac finds this plugin easily....
@@GaragebandandBeyond Software instrument track? Probably Yes(Im Polish;) - I have track with my digital piano conected, and it works so probably right track, Im looking for my vst in plugins then udio units and only Apple stuff appears...:)
50% swing means the 1/8 note is exactly halfway between the 1/4 note. That's why 0 is 50%. To get a triple feel you move the swing to 66%, where the 1.8 will fall 2/3's of the way between the 1/4 notes. (At this point you might as well change you time signature to 6/8). To get a crazy 1 over 5 feel, move it to 80% where the 1/8th will fall 4/5's of the way between the 1/4. Does that make sense? That's why 0 is 50% in swing.
Lewin, thanks a lot for this video! You really nailed it here, it is explained in a very simple way and it also opens up so many possibilities with the auto drummer, again thank you!
How did I miss this video? Where are you Lewin? Hope you are well This kind of content is amazing. Please tell me why you have not been sponsored by Apple.
Great video! I had never thought of trying to copy an auto drummer part to another midi track and editing it. Sometimes GB is like one of those escape the room games. If you just try moving anything and everything around, you'll eventually find something helpful.
i use the Drummer in Logic.. sometime I use the follow feature.. and asign it to a track like bass or piano that has the feel i want.. so then the drum pattern - especially the kick patterns conform. SOmetimes I will remover the kick and have no kick and then play the kick live on a seperate MIDI track to get more specific.
How important is the original bpm? I cannot make this work. Do have have to have the bpm exact in order for this to work. I laid down a 12 bar at 120 and it sounds like crap no matter what i do. It is just not in time. Also, it does not select a drummer for you. It populates the last drummer you had up. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
Probably a super basic question, but how do I make sure the BPMs are the same on the drum track I add when I'm adding a drum track to an imported instrumental track (imported into GarageBand, not recorded in GarageBand)? Thanks!
hello! can anyone please tell me how to add those knobs next to the auto drummer the ones that he talks about "giving it swing" ? i don't have them on mine :(
Your videos are helping me a lot with the nuts and bolts, especially because your genre (Beatles, rock, folk, blues) is so close to my own. Einstein once said (paraphrase) that only a master can make the complex simple - and you do :) One question: to have the Drummer work off of your rhythm (or other) track do you have to use the FOLLOW function and select the track - and is that different from the GROOVE track?
In auto drummer, I have been making a quarter or half bar region where I want drum fills at the end of a verse, chorus, or solo. Is there a problem with that????
hi Lewin ... love the videos ... thank for your work it gives me inspiration to make music !! I have a question , I am trying to use garage band to record and make music so I really appreciate this video its taught me a few things and showed me some light ! but as im using bias fx through garageband, a Focusrite scarlette 2i2 into a iMac .... problem is the tone ive created in Bias fx does not come out with the same tone as what ive created ... it sound very poor quality compared to the sound on the direct source stand alone in bias app. do you have any idea of what I could do to resolve the problem ?
Hey Lewin you're such a big help. Thank you! I found the video you did that included fixing the "clip" effect that happens on the intro but have lost it. I need again. Can you help?
fairly new to GB so forgive the ignorance, but at about the 5 minute mark, youre cutting sections of the drum track up, what key/click combo allows you to do that?
Where do these drum samples come from? Were they actually recorded specifically for GarageBand itself with who played those drums's name next to what you click on?
Ok Lewin I guess Im an idiot cause I can't figure out how you're making the cuts!! HELP
Bill, put the timeline cursor where you want to split the track then push "COMMAND -T"
@@GaragebandandBeyond Thank you dude!
@@GaragebandandBeyond i was looking for the same thing, he was saying cut here but didn't mention how, thank you for answering though
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??

I've been using drummer on my new song ruclips.net/video/cfgvYlHadXA/видео.html
I just a got an iMac and learning GB. I was using cakewalk sonar and my PC crashed. You are a great teacher and I enjoy learning from your videos.
Dude... this is genius. Explained so simply and with a easy to follow rhythm like blues is. My fav video this far, from you. THANKS!!
Sweet!! So glad you liked it!!

This video is so great! No more same boring drum beat through my entire song. So incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for these videos!!
I had no clue you were able to convert auto drummer audio to midi and manually edit it! This is extremely helpful and time saving!
How is my mans not a verified account yet?? The most legit out there!

Hey Lewin you're such a big help. Thank you! I found the video you did that included fixing the "clip" effect that happens on the intro but have lost it. I need again. Can you help?
How much do you charge to mix a song and master the track if I send you the garage band project.
why do you need to set a key for drums
I can't get it ive been trying endlessly its not happening
fairly new to GB so forgive the ignorance, but at about the 5 minute mark, youre cutting sections of the drum track up, what key/click combo allows you to do that?
IrishDuff928 Command T will do it

Yes! You’ll love it!!
Where do these drum samples come from? Were they actually recorded specifically for GarageBand itself with who played those drums's name next to what you click on?
Okay then.

choice bro
Are you american? Do you see how fun it is the scale of measurements you guys use?!
It's like that swing knob, but worse!
I feel terrible I have been watching your channel since 2013 and I was never subscribed, I apologize. Just fixed that!! @garagebandandbeyond
HOW DO YOU GET RID OF FILLS THAT ARE AUTO-GENERATED??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Turn the fill knob all the way down and they will go away!
@@GaragebandandBeyond Thank you, sir!
Where is auto drummer??
When you create a new track, you get the option to make it a drummer track,
Garage band auto drums fucking sucks!

this is great! thank you!!
