I always find your guides very helpful and informative. I do have a question; can you change time signatures mid-song? Can you go from, say, 4/4 to 3/4 and back within the same recording?
Oh My God!! You made my day man! I was searching far and wide for some kind of patch/plugin (the free kind, since we are like that 😆) and with your video, I was able to create it myself using an available sound source. I just feel so happy to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank GOD for this video and also for the really friendly, relatable delivery. You were saying all the things I thought and I felt like I was in good company after a rather frustrating couple of hours.
To people that are stuck wondering why the menu doesn't pop up, you need to click to the left of the arrows that you clicked here 0:57 after pressing stereo.
Hey, so on my Mac the selection thing at 0:56 just doesn't pop up, there's no button next to 'E-piano' even when I hover over it or click it. Is there anything else I could do?
Great tutorial - thank you! How can I get the sample to continue to play without holding down the key? When I let up, the sample stops and I would like to continue to play until complete.
hi, i wish your tutorial helped me out, but when i go to ausampler>stereo, instead of a keyboard/way of making a sample garageband just opens up to a window with a bunch of sliders. is there something i'm doing wrong?
Hi Patrick! I need some help, When I press the mono or stereo, it show up with some dials but no keyboard and only some dials. do you think u know what the problem is? Thanks :)
somehow the hidden keyboard menu and sampler controls seemed to suddenly appear when i went to General/Accessibility and unchecked "Open plug ins controls view by default" it also appeared when i selected AU sample delay
AU INSTRUMENT DOES NOT EXIT IN MY LIST. THERE IS APPLE, AND THEN IN APPLE, THE WHOLE LIST OF PLUGINS COMES, WITH 'NO' AU SAMPLER PRESENT IN IT. 🤔 WHAT TO DO NOW?
Wait, im sorry-but I’m a little confused on the sampler on the IOS version.. I didn’t know it could do so much, just from looking at that short clip. (@ 0:03) Is it okay, if you can talk more about that sampler on the IOS version- in another video..? (If it isn’t too much to ask) And I REALLY love this channel and your videos.. I’m so happy, that I found a channel so useful- you’ve helped me learn more about the app and showed me how far, I can really go with this and take it to the next level.. :)
How come when I follow the steps up to the AuSampler, I don't get the option to choose stereo? Also My pop up menu doesn't show the keyboard and all the knobs like the video shows.
Hey after I clicked on ,,stereo'' to open the sampler, this window with the keyboard don't pop up. Do you or anybody know what's the problem and how I can fix that?
I don’t get any interfaces for any plugins on garage band. I’m not sure if it’s because I haven’t purchased logic or not? But all I get are the smart controls and the GarageBand version of interfaces
Hey so when I play a note from a pack I put into the sampler, instead of it being sustained, it holds for a little bit and then switches to short notes repeating. How do I fix this?
Click on the Sampler Instrument in the Plugin menu. If it pops up with just a bunch of sliders, make sure you have the 'open plugins in controls view' option UN-checked inside GarageBand's settings.
Hello! Thank you so much for this vid! Quick question though. I followed all the stepped you showed in the video but for some reason my sampler interface won't show up. Do you know why that is happening?
@@balajiprasanna1203 Click on GarageBand in the toolbar at the top left of your screen, then click on Preferences. In the General tab, uncheck the box marked ‘open plugins in controls view by default’. Then restart GarageBand.
@@TheGaragebandGuide also one more question how do you make it so that when you play the sound on your keyboard it doesn't cut off half way if you press the key multiple times and it plays the whole sound
are there any 3rd party sample plugins for garageband on mac? using the sampler for wav files with the sample start factor isn't efficient or visually captivating.
hello! How can i sample those Instruments which already are in Garage band ? for example a hihat from a drum kit ? they already got good Instruments imo is this possible?
Just seeing a bunch of sliders? Click on ‘GarageBand’ in the toolbar at the top of the screen, select settings then uncheck the box that say ‘open plugins in controls view by default’.
Hello Patrick. Thanks for this tutorial. At 4:07 you mention that you can load a DLS or a EXS file. After that you choose a .sf2 file, so a SOUNDFONT file. I have several of them, stored at my Macintosch HD at Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks. I have there a nice klavecimbel, namen Blanchet-1720.sf2, and Carillon de Gand.sf2. I follow your steps, but they do not play. Other instrument, that I added to Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components DO play. What is the difference, and why don't I get my .sf2 files to play? If I open the .sf2 file in Polyphone 2.2 sound font editor all the sounds are available, so imho the sound font itself is in good order! Can you help me with this?
i had a similar question in a different variation. I tried to add the Nintendo pack from the link, and was only able to use 1 instrument. Am i wrong in the belief the .s2f file has multiple types of instruments and we are supposed to be able to choose them after loading the file into sampler? Or are we supposed to go into the .s2f file first and seperate by instruments, and only load 1 instrument per Layer instead of the whole pack? or does the file only have 1 sound and there is different files per instrument already..... i hope this makes sense
If the keyboard doesn't show up. Click on Garageband at the top left, click on settings and turn off, "Open plug-ins in Controls view by default." This setting was driving me crazy.
I followed all the steps, but the AU sampler/keyboard bit/place where you load your samples, doesn't show up. I've tried using CMD+K, but it just brings up the ordinary musical typing one. I've used the sampler before, but not had this issue, normally the sample load bit shows up straight away. yes, I have enable audio units on. I'm at a loss!
Not sampling. Just loading sounds. Sampling is recording a piece of audio and then manipulating and playing the sounds as an instrument. SP12 in 1985. MPC in 1988. Hard to believe you simply cannot record a sample.
The EASY way to let me know you found this tutorial helpful? Give that like button a gentle caress, cheers!
I always find your guides very helpful and informative.
I do have a question; can you change time signatures mid-song? Can you go from, say, 4/4 to 3/4 and back within the same recording?
Unfortunately not 🙁 You’d need Logic to have multiple time signatures.
Bro... I think they just removed it
@@bossmack509 just removed what?
@@TheGaragebandGuide the Sampler, mine is different than before
Best tutorial for this and im just showing love cause “linky in the dinky” is the best thing i heard all day 😂
if you are wondering why the dropdown menu won't pop up at 0:56 go to Preferences, Sound/Midi, and make sure Enable Audio Units is checked on.

You need to turn off the ‘open plugins in controls view by default’ setting. Full instructions here: ruclips.net/video/DOwmYrc0yH8/видео.html
How about how to record a sample to start with?
for 2022 go to any other apple instrument then click au sampler then stereo and it should work :)
Does anyone know how to choose which key that you want your sample to be on

Yeah mine either
i have my sampler set up but when i hit record nothing is being recored. i can play she sample on the keyboard but nothin is recording
You need to use GarageBand’s musical typing or a MIDI controller to ‘play’ the sampler. The small keyboard attached to the Sampler won’t work.
Anyway i can record a sound right in the sampler and play in from there without loading in a sample mp3
hey
how to open the sampler interface
idk what do I have to press
thank you
Click on it on the smart controls menu.

No Not Even that. Just the interface of the smart control changes but thats all. So there is no Sampler Interface.

Same problem. I sampled a voice and when playing it just repeats the first second of the voice sample. Did you figure out how to play longer sample?
Any reason why the Sampler Interface wouldn't show up and instead just show a list of settings?
Head to GarageBand settings and uncheck the box marked ‘open plugins in controls view’
How come AU Sampler isn't in my garageband like your tutorial says?
U forgot the release/stop tool wich is very nice important
I can’t hear the sound I put into the sampler? Any solutions?
Sampler interface at 117 - how do I get that? Looks like it pops automatically for you, but I got nothing.
Click on the Sampler Instrument in the Plugin menu. If it pops up with just a bunch of sliders, make sure you have the 'open plugins in controls view' option UN-checked inside GarageBand's settings.
Hi. How can I play a sample in higher notes without speeding it up? Thanks!
Same
Can you truncate within the sampler?
Does it only access sampled sound files, or can it create its own samples from live sounds the way the iOS GarageBand sampler can?
No, you can only import sounds unfortunately.
