You can do alot of great stuff just in GB.

Works for me!
lol

I was messing around with it.
But I'm very non-tech savy
haha

So I couldn't figure out how to sample with it.

just open garageband and drag whatever song you want to sample from itunes right into garageband. Set the tempo to whatever the song is/whatever you want for your song, and then start chopping right there! Apple + T is how you create chops. Then arranging and what not is incredibly easy with it.

then just do the same thing with drums!

Thanks man!

I've been fooling around with it all day
lol

Haven't made a credible beat yet :/

But Garageband is pretty fun and usable

Anybody know of good sites to download digs?
etc

Getting a copy of Computer Music Magazine is a good start. Free music software that's reliable for any style of production you're aiming for. Plus samples. Future Mag is a good buy as well.

like the others , buy a midi keyboard . Get reason "GET"

or FL , connect the midi with USB and just F around with stock sounds and get to know the stock instruments . i did it like that , in the beginning it is F'd up cause you can't find your midi this connection that that is not running i can't copy the pattern to my track . Most things you can also find on youtube .

Milk-
How do you set the correct tempo with garageband? Is't it limited to whole number values?

milkman · #18 (**permalink**) 08-22-2008, 05:23 PM

yes, it is. But usually even with whole number values its usually close enough.

But I'm borrowing my friends MPC now (for as long as I want) which is really really dope.

i use reason 4 and it is AWESOME, it is easy to learn and since your cousin got that one too, it would prolly be a good idea to get the same program so u can learn from each other. like the other peepz mentioned, get a midi keyboad like the m-audio keystation 49e for playing notes, and a trigger finger for chopping and drum programming. this is exactly my setup. IT WORKS..
