![]() Press the play button to start or stop your cycle region playback. This chosen region will be repeated until playback is stopped. Let's take a quick look at GarageBand's interfaceĬlick and drag the yellow bar to move the range or drag the edges to change the length of the range. For now, just leave it as defualt (Record using a microphone or line input), and press Create. The GarageBand will prompt you to create your first track. Users can choose the scale (major or minor) for the project.Ĭlick Choose. The key pop-up menu lists keys for the natural notes (such as C, D, and E) and for chromatic keys (such as F-sharp and E-flat). Key Signature: the key defines the central note to which the other notes relate. The default is 4/4, the most commonly used time signature. The upper(left) number of the fraction controls the number of beats in each measure, and the lower(right) number controls the beat value(the length of the note that gets one beat). Time Signature: the signature defines how musical time is divided into measures and beats. The defualt is 120 bpm (tempo di marcia), which is a common tempo in music. It's really easy and quick to create something that you can use in projects.Tempo: the speed at which a piece of music is or should be played. You don't have to use the loops as they are. So you have even more variety if you take into account the note editing that you can do in GarageBand. ![]() So you can do little tiny edits to a beat like this to actually change what it sounds like completely and create your own. If I double click on the track here it brings up the piano roll here at the bottom and I can select notes. So that gives you a ton of variety because there's a lot of different drum kits and you can really change the sound of your song by changing the drum kit with the beat. So let's hear that and then I'll keep selecting new drum kits. You can see when I select this I can now go into say Drum Kits and I can change the drum kit to something else, like that. I'll extend this out here so now it's going to loop and continue to play as I test out new instruments. So I can bring it in here and I can set this to loop by the way. So I'm going to delete this track here and go into Loop Browser, and go into All Drums and just find a drum loop here that is not blue. Now in addition to actually having like a melody that you can change you can also do this with Beats. So there's a lot that you can do here to actually fine tune the instrument even beyond the default instrument. There are different settings for each one. The settings are going to look different for each type of instrument. As a matter of fact I can even go in and if I wanted to double click on the instrument here it brings up Settings. (Music playing.) I can go to an orchestra, to strings (music playing.) So you can see this gives me far more variety than the regular type of audio recording loop because I can select from all the different instruments I have. You're going to see different instruments than me because it's what I have installed. I can even go to a completely different type of instrument like a hard rock guitar. You can see the default instrument for this track was classic electric piano. It will allow me to select a new instrument. So the way to do that is click here to open up the Library. Now I have it in here and I can play it.(Music.) But I can also change the instrument. They're represented by little lines as part of a piano roll type of representation of music. I can drag it in here to add it to my song. So, for instance, let's take this first one right here. These green ones here though with the musical notes they're actually notes and instruments assigned to them. But a piano is still going to be a piano. You can, you know, edit them with filters a little bit. So when you have those in there there's only so much you can do to change them. The blue loops with the little wave form here those are actual recordings. Now there are two different types of loops. You can combine them in interesting ways and different tracks to create something. There's all sorts of different ways to search through Loops and see what loops are available and different types of loops. You can do it even without using an instrument or even having one connected to your Mac because you can use the loops which you access here with this Loops button. ![]() Video Transcript: You can use GarageBand to create music for different projects that you have like background for videos, slideshows, or whatever you want.
