    I know this is late, but Dean that was amazing! You’re such an inspiration. I’m trying to make music utilizing software instruments from GarageBand and was having trouble. Thanks to you, i got some confidence back.

      Hey Omar! My first guess would be to update your sound library which you can do by going to the GarageBand drop down menu (in the top left hand side of the screen) then hover over Sound Library and then click on "Download All Available Sounds". This should update you with all of the sounds that GarageBand makes available to you! -Dean

    • @thesongwritingstudio5783
      @thesongwritingstudio5783  4 года назад

      Hey Ian, thanks man! And I hear you :). The speed and key of the song really depends on each unique song but for the one in this video I was at 105 BPM in the key of D. C and G are also good, easy starting keys. Something that might help with staying on tempo is creating a "Drummer" track (even if you delete it later) and trying to play along with GB's drummer, as for me it easier to follow a drum beat than a clicking sound. Hope that helps Ian! -Dean

  • @LexaTerrestrialx
    @LexaTerrestrialx 3 года назад

    Did you have to download those plugins or have some other type of software you're using along with garageband? I can never seem to find the other plugins you're referring to, bugged me for years.

    • @thesongwritingstudio5783
      @thesongwritingstudio5783  3 года назад +1

      Hey Lexa! Everything I used in this video came stock with GarageBand. You might start by selecting a track that you want to add effects/plugins to and then hit B on your typing keyboard to bring up the mix window. In the left hand side of that window you should see a drop down menu that says "Plug-Ins" which you can click and it drops down to show you little slots where you can add plugins (compression & EQ are already there). When you click on an empty slot a library of options come up! Let me know if that helps or not Lexa! -Dean

    • @thesongwritingstudio5783
      @thesongwritingstudio5783  3 года назад

      Hey there! First, I will say that GB has quite the sizable library of sounds & plugins! You can make sure you have all of the sounds made available to you in GB by updating to the latest version of GB as well as going to the GarageBand drop down menu, hovering over "Sounds Library" and clicking "Download All Available Sounds". Beyond that, if you think you need even more sounds then you can get all of Logic Pro's sounds/loops by downloading MainStage ($30) which I did a video on here ruclips.net/video/YrqAvAQjYEI/видео.html ... hope that helps! -Dean
