This book explains how to use GarageBand ’11 to make great recordings of your music with vocals, drums, guitars, MIDI keyboards, and anything else that makes a sound. Seattle composer and musician Jeff Tolbert shares his GarageBand know-how and years of recording experience to help you get the most out of your existing gear or purchase new equipment that fits your budget and style. New in this edition is a complete discussion of all of the many GarageBand synthesizers, as well as a section on fixing mistakes easily with the new Flex Time and Groove Matching features.
GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. Nov 01, 2015 No sound from synthesizer keyboard in garageband Hello, My keyboard is a Roland XP-60 and I was able to plug it into the FroFire 610 interface into Garageband, yet the keyboard only plays sounds in garageband. Some keyboard sounds, including electric piano, synthesizer, and organ, include knobs or other controls you can use to change the sound while you play. When available, the knobs are located in the controls area, with labels showing the sound parameters they control. When you record the Keyboard, any movements to the controls are also recorded.
The book also covers the 12 GarageBand guitar amps (including the seven new ones!) and the greatly expanded selection of stompbox effects. You’ll also learn real-world recording studio techniques like using a microphone effectively, getting the best sounds from your gear, and applying effects like a pro.
Bonus! Linked-in audio lets you listen to examples while you read about them—and, new with this edition, you can follow links to download the project files for the two example songs which demonstrate many of the techniques discussed. Remember us when you’re famous!
If you hit one note, a little circle will appear in the top right-hand corner of the “Beats Position Display” at the top-center of Garageband. If you play a chord on the MIDI Controller, Garageband will tell you the exact chord. When you fire up a new GarageBand document (on a Mac with no physical MIDI keyboard connected), the GarageBand keyboard appears automatically in a floating window. This onscreen piano is a gift from Apple to people who would like to record notes of their own (instead of just using loops), but don’t own a physical MIDI keyboard.
