    A refreshingly friendly, human approach Sam. Well done. Feedback (for me, probably fine for most others though?) a little bit lightning fast going through the procedures. Thank You SO much for this. I will be checking your 'School for GB' in future.

    I can't believe I didn't figure that out! Thanks a million. I've I wanted to do a fast double bass for some real heavy stuff
    but the auto drummer doesn't quite give me what I want. This is a simple work around.

    This isn't an attempt to hijack your post but here's a great way to insert your starting Drummer tracks. Use the Arrangement feature to section off your song (Intro, verse, bridge, chorus, etc.) Then create a new drummer track and it fills in a pattern for each Arrangement section. Now you can edit each Drummer pattern as needed to fit your song!

    Great tutorial
    I'm just using GB for iPad,which is a great tool for my music making,but I'm probably upgrading to a Mac soon,seems like a big step up in content.
    Even though I suspect that I'll use the iPad for most of my audio (guitar/bass) then import (great feature) to the Mac for drums/Vocals/fine tuning and mix.
    Thanks a bunch mate

    I cannot find Auto drummer in Garageband iOS, no list of Liverpool, Manchester, Heavy, etc. Does Auto Drummer only exist in the Mac version of the program or am I just missing out on how navigate to it in the iOS version? Please advise.

  • @Skierrddii8
    @Skierrddii8 7 лет назад

    Hey Sam Beckman, This tutorial is great, however I am very curious as to how you got a hold of the cymbal roll track? Also how were you able to get the "Studio Direct Box Warm" and the "Shimmering Electric" tracks? Also how did you get the individual shaker track? I know that's a lot of questions but I'd greatly appreciate the help!

  • @SjaakShirly6559
    @SjaakShirly6559 6 лет назад

    • @silbenschmiede
      @silbenschmiede 7 лет назад

      The first few seconds I had the same question :-), because I know that it is not possible to let the automatic drummers do this. It is surly from a sample/sound library. The number of the soundfile indicates this. Thanks for the video! I was surprised that I didn't had the idea to create a second midi-drumline in my project. Now I feel stupid, but lucky.

    Great tutorial ! Thanks for making sense of GB !
    However PLEASE can you point me to how to get an automatic drum accompaniment to my practice electric guitar soloing ?
    I believe the GB drummer can work out a groove automatically as you are strumming? - Cheers!

    • @sambeckman
      @sambeckman  9 лет назад +1

      +shakespearo999 Thanks heaps for the comment mate! Appreciate it :) I've never heard of a live accompaniment drummer in GB - but if you'd be happy with it, why don't you record your guitar to the click track without drums once - and then match the drums to that playing. Then play your guitar again but this time the drums will lead the way! Not sure if that's at all what you're looking for though...

  • @lukeslicks2513

    How do I make drummer jump a beat. Come in on 4and instead of 1?

    • @joeljoeljoel
      @joeljoeljoel 6 лет назад

      Drag the track so the track itself starts on the 4. I had to do this on one of my projects because I wanted it to start with a fill on the 4.

    • @DMDvideo10
      @DMDvideo10 6 лет назад +3

      That doesn't work. Beat 1 is always beat 1. If you drag the track forward to the "and of 4" the crash and kick move to 1 of the next measure. The way to do it is to create a MIDI track, paste your drummer section into the MIDI track which converts it to MIDI notes then slide the kick and cymbal to the jumped beat.

  • @johnivmusic
    @johnivmusic 8 лет назад

    I've recorded my guitar and bass on my project and whenever I try to add the drummer it doesn't sync with the other tracks at all. Does the tempo that the project is set to make a difference? I've clicked the follow bottom but it still doesn't help. I don't know if I'm missing anything and if theres anything I can do to get the drums to match the beat of the song. Thanks.

    • @sambeckman
      @sambeckman  8 лет назад

      +johnradiv The tempo of the project is absolutely crucial!

    • @johnivmusic
      @johnivmusic 8 лет назад

      Sam Beckman Is there and easy way to find the tempo of the song your trying to record? I play guitar so I don't read sheet music or anything and most of the music I'm recording are songs I've written.

    • @billybuck6945
      @billybuck6945 7 лет назад

      johnradiv you can get an app where you can tap along with the beat and it tells you the tempo at which you are tapping. What i do is after recording my guitar and bass tracks etc, i play them back and then tap along with it. Then i enter the resulting tempo into the drum track, it usually syncs up quite well with a few minor adjustments. there are probably many apps for this but the one I've been using is Simple Metronome on Android.
