    A really useful and well explained Garageband tutorial. Presentation becomes just a bit too quick and content-laden from about 31 minutes for me, a newcomer to the software, but it is all there and easy to replay. A lot more intelligent than some of the other RUclips videos on the same topic. Many thanks for this video. Very clear indeed. :)

    Probably one of the most effective Garageband tutorials I've ever seen. My gosh why aren't they all like this. I can't describe why it's more effective. But we really get to see him start from scratch and then use all of the most essential features without getting into anything overly trivial.

    • @alexanderhdmi7704
      @alexanderhdmi7704 3 года назад +1

      Everything went over in this video is pretty essential to making a basic song. Every single feature showcased can and should be utilized in a basic Garageband song.

  • @KatherineAnnabella
    @KatherineAnnabella 6 лет назад +289

    Not basic enough for me...what’s a midi controller? Is that a keyboard?

    • @PointBlankMusicSchool
      @PointBlankMusicSchool  6 лет назад +81

      A midi controller often looks like a keyboard but doesn't always. Midi can get quite complex but for the purposes of your question, a midi controller is whatever you use to play notes in something like GarageBand (whereas a keyboard will play notes internally). Sometimes it looks like a keyboard, ie laid out with white and black notes as a piano is, or sometimes it will be laid out in rubbery pads that you can hit instead of keys. You can use your computer's keyboard in this way too, although its rare that you would call that a midi controller, as its not its primary function.
      I hope that helps.

    • @ghostboi165
      @ghostboi165 5 лет назад +20

      basic answer: midi controlled=electric piano (i might be incorrect though)

    • @Jeff99
      @Jeff99 5 лет назад +3

      Although there are several types of MIDI controllers, let's assume a keyboard. MIDI is a format for digitally describing a note. A keyboard MIDI controller lets you play notes and outputs the digital notation over a MIDI cable to a MIDI input, such as a Mac or other MIDI device, that receives the MIDI notes and either records them, like with GarageBand, or plays them with a different sound than the keyboard has. Older MIDI cables had several individual lines within and used round connectors. They are still popular, but now MIDI can be sent over USB lines making it easier to connect to a computer. Does that help?

    *Edit- Gave this ago over about 3 hours and I have something resembling this but with easier piano chords because I'm literally using my Mac air keyboard as notes haha. Doesn't sound too bad!

    Hi John, thanks for a great intro to lots of useful features on GB, which I hope I'll get to use once I'm past the novice stage I'm at, for everything to do with music! I'm learning to play keyboards, + read music + use GB, all at once, so am looking for (but can't work out how) to do probably the most fundamental step for newbies such as me; I'm trying to record myself playing MIDI keyboards onto a fresh track, whilst simultaneously reading the scrolling score of the track I'm trying to replicate, in a MIDI song I downloaded from the web ( CCR; Have You Ever Seen The Rain?) . Do you have any tips for how to do this please?
