How To Make A Bass Drop On Garageband Ipad
Mar 24, 2011 Hello all - I am thinking about picking up the Garageband app for the iPad. I am a guitarist, and will primarily plug in my own guitar, but I would also like to use the Smart Guitar on occasion. Does anyone know if the Smart Guitar has an option to change the string tunings from the standard tuning (EADGBE) to open tunings, Drop-D, etc.? Jan 20, 2016 When you open GarageBand, you begin by selecting either Tracks (recording music you play, on the GarageBand piano, guitar, bass, drums or vocals) or the new Live Loops. From there, you can make your musical selection-which include EDM, Chill, Rock and House. You now see a whole lot of boxes and columns.
GarageBand is a music composition and playing app that has been pre-installed on Mac computers for a while, and now it’s available for iPad. You have to buy the app for about $5 from the App Store. After you install it, you can start making music as follows:
1Tap GarageBand on the Home screen where it appears.
A menu of instruments appears. Swipe left or right to scroll through the instruments.
2Tap an instrument, such as Keyboard, to display it.
Each instrument has slightly different options, but all allow you to record what you play on the virtual instrument, play it back, visit any songs you have saved, control volume, and return to the main menu of Instruments. Tapping the Instruments button allows you to change to a different instrument.
3Tap the Instrument Settings button to control settings such as echo and reverb.
These options let you give your music cool effects. The Song Settings button lets you add sounds or adjust the tempo.
4Tap the instrument to produce sounds.
If you want to record what you’re playing, tap the Record button to start recording and tap it again when you’re done.
5Playback what you've recorded by tapping My Songs, tapping an item, and then tapping the Play button.
Play with all the instruments and sounds. You can’t break anything and the great built-in help system can help you figure out most features!
LOS ANGELES - For years, Apple’s GarageBand app has been the go-to software for making fun digital music on phones, tablets and computers.
A new update, out today, brings GarageBand into the electronic music age, with a new set of “loops,” that can turn you into the coolest DJ in town. Non-musicians can participate, as they don’t need to know how to play any instrument to do it well.
You can still make music the old fashioned GarageBand way, with digital takes on piano, guitar, bass and drums that can you play on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Or you can make pure electronic music, via the new Live Loops feature.
Loops are pre-determined snippets of music, that somehow always play in tune and time with your music, and there are 100s of them in GarageBand.
Note that if you're new to GarageBand, the app can take some time to learn, with lots of options and tools. It's not as drop dead simple as other Apple products, so prepare to put in the time.
When you open GarageBand, you begin by selecting either Tracks (recording music you play, on the GarageBand piano, guitar, bass, drums or vocals) or the new Live Loops.
From there, you can make your musical selection--which include EDM, Chill, Rock and House.
You now see a whole lot of boxes and columns. Put your finger in the boxes and they start playing riffs and beats. Now select the columns below to keep the song playing. Once you’re happy with what you have, click record to save it and make music.
What’s not easy is figuring out how to share the song.
You have to find My Songs, click it, wait for it to shake, and then the familiar share button comes up. Once there, you can send the song to Facebook, SoundCloud or e-mail and text. Virtual dj folder download.
Overall, the app has lots to love. It’s free and it’s fun, but it does take a lot to time to master.
