Apr 07, 2020 How to record your own loops, samples and sounds in GarageBand and share these with others, or use them in your own future projects. 🔉 Pete's Recommended Gui. Jul 31, 2017 To open the Loop Browser, click in the upper-right corner of the GarageBand window. Drummer Loops appear in the Loop Browser with a yellow icon. To show only Drummer Loops in the Loops Browser, select Drummer from the Loop Packs pop-up menu at the top of the Loops Browser. Oct 10, 2011 GarageBand for iPad's Sampler. This differs from the Audio Recorder in that it records into a sampler and lets you edit the sounds you record. The Audio Recorder lays whatever you record straight down onto an audio track in your project. Tap on the sampler and in the next window you will see the iPad has picked up whatever input device it finds. Click the tiny speaker button under the track name in the list, and the button turns blue to indicate that the track is muted. To turn off the mute, click the speaker icon again. You can change the volume or balance of each individual track by using the mixer that appears next to the track name. Jan 24, 2015 GarageBand 10 does no longer support transposing audio files. You can convert your audio file to a loop or use the AuPitch filter. To add the audio file to the Loop Library trim it to an exact number of measures. Then select it and use the command 'Edit Add to loop library'. Make sure the type 'Loop' is selected and not one-shot. Click 'Create'.

␡You don’t have to be a musician to create music for your movies. Using Apple’s GarageBand app on the iPhone or iPad, you can easily assemble a song or specific musical cues out of pre-recorded loops.
If the included loops don’t cut it, GarageBand also includes a bunch of Smart Instruments that let you play preset grooves or individual notes that seamlessly conform to the song’s tempo and key.
If you are a musician, even better! Connect an instrument—like a guitar or a MIDI keyboard—or a microphone to the iOS device and record your own compositions. GarageBand Includes guitar amp simulations that can make you and your electric guitar sound like anything from a surf-rocker to a hair-metal god. It also has vocal effects that can give a professional polish to your voice or make you sound like a monster or a robot. And for you keyboard players, the included piano, synthesizer, and string sounds will add lush beauty or a techno edge to your movie soundtrack.
Don’t be intimidated if you can’t even fumble through “Chopsticks.” GarageBand has a few tricks up its sleeve even for the musically inept.
The app is built around what Apple calls Touch Instruments. These are instruments you can play directly on the iPad or iPhone, and they’re a natural for the Multi-Touch interface. You need to open one of the instruments in order to get to the included loops, so let’s start there.
Open GarageBand. If this is your first time in the app, it will open to the Touch Instrument browser (4.1). Choose Keyboard.
4.1 Instruments at your fingertips
While working in iMovie, you’ll no doubt encounter a situation where you need a piece of music to fill a specific chunk of time. While GarageBand on the Mac lets you change the ruler to show minutes and seconds, the iOS version does not. There are ways around this restriction, though, if you’re willing to do a few easy calculations.
If you know you have, say, 8 seconds of video to fill, and you need to create a piece of music to fit, the trick is figuring out how many measures and what tempo your song needs to be. Fortunately, an app called Audiofile Calc can calculate this for you. The app conveniently includes a song length calculator (4.3). In most cases, you need to use a little trial and error to get a workable solution, since the length is a product of the equation and not a variable you can enter yourself.
The vast majority of songs (and almost all the Apple Loops in GarageBand) are four beats per bar, so you can usually leave the last field set to 4.
Working backwards, the number of bars refers to the length of your piece in musical “measures.” A measure is a segment of musical time defined by the number of beats per bar, set in the bottom field. Each measure, or each count of “1-2-3-4,” helps define the musical pulse of a song and the pattern of strong and weak beats that give a song its rhythm. Most Western music is broken up into subsections of four, eight, or sixteen measures, so sticking with multiples of four is a good idea unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.
The Tempo field determines how fast your piece is. Anything below 70 or 80 beats per minute (BPM) is considered slow, 80–112 BPM is a medium tempo, and 112–140 BPM is fast. Anything above 140 BPM or so is quite fast, and 180 BPM and above is extremely fast. If you haven’t already worked out a rough tempo in GarageBand, it may be useful to play with some options and see what feels right for your movie. Tempo is an important consideration and has a huge impact on the emotional impact of the music.
Once you’ve entered all the required information, Audiofile Calc gives you the resulting length. Adjust the Tempo and Bars fields until you arrive at your video length, then input the resulting information into GarageBand.
Open the Settings menu (on the iPad, tap the wrench icon; on the iPhone, tap the gear and then choose Song), and tap the Tempo button (4.4). Listen to how it works musically. You may find that the tempo is too fast or that the number of bars doesn’t feel right and you need to adjust accordingly.

You can edit cells in the Live Loops grid in a variety of ways. You can cut, copy, and paste cells, move cells, delete cells, and change cell settings. When you turn on cell editing, you cannot start or stop playback of cells (but you can edit cells that are already playing).
You can also copy regions in Tracks view and paste them in the grid, in a row using the same instrument as the track they were copied from.
Serato dj. I have very little software on it.antivirus shut down, dropbox and other background programs paused.Wondering if anyone has solved this problem using SSL with Windows 10 AND if anyone has experienced it with Serato DJ. SSL is crashing every few hours when I load a song into a deck. Doesn't matter what song or deck.I think the program is eating up more and more memory as more files are loaded and played until it inevitably crashes.Nothing is different on my new laptop except Windows 10. Everything I've read has people suggesting corrupted files or library but I don't think that is the case, I think it is some kind of memory leak.

Double-tap a cell, then choose Paste from the Edit menu.
You can paste a cell in another row using the same Touch Instrument as the row it was copied from. You can also paste a cell from a row using the Audio Recorder or Amp to another row using either of these instruments, and paste a cell from a row using the Keyboard or Sampler to another row using either of these instruments. The cell takes the sound of the Touch Instrument in the row you you paste it to.
Touch and hold a cell, then drag it to an empty cell in the grid.
If you drag it to a cell that is not empty, the contents of the starting cell and the destination cell are swapped.
You can move a cell to another row using the same Touch Instrument as the row it was moved from. You can also move a cell from a row using the Audio Recorder or Amp to another row using either of these instruments, and move a cell from a row using the Keyboard or Sampler to another row using either of these instruments. The cell takes the sound of the Touch Instrument in the row you you move it to.
Double-tap the cell, then choose Delete from the Edit menu.
Double-tap the cell, then choose Edit from the Edit menu.
You can edit the cell contents, similar to editing regions. For green cells, you can also edit notes in the cell, similar to editing notes in a region.
