🛑ATTENTION: PLEASE understand I am a SELF TAUGHT musician but that does NOT mean that I DO NOT UNDERSTAND what the difference between a major and a minor is. I DO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. One sounds "happy" one sounds "sad". I, as a SELF TAUGHT musician, simply do not know which name correlates with which sound. I KNOW WHATS RIGHT BY SOUND. I PLAY BY EAR. I LEARN BY EAR. I do not know by musical lingo. Or by reading the stuff. So when I see "Em" I am not aware this means "E Minor" Which is why I selected the incorrect key of the song. I am well aware of what is right and wrong SOUND WISE. So the logic here still applies. The same way a person who is learning english knows the difference between "left and right" but can confused which word goes with which direction...the same applies here. I know the difference. I simply do not know the proper lingo. I know it by sound. All I do not know is what the proper word for whichever one is. It's as simple as that. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I do. I have been making music for 21 years. I know it well. I just don't know the language. But I know the sound. That is all that matters. I know what scales are, I know what chords are, I know what keys are, I know what sharps and flats are...I know everything. I am a pianist. I just simply do not read music so I do not know whether or not major was the "happy sounding" or minor was. That is it. Please. Stop.
What matters is that you are a true musician and what you record sounds great. I’ve been in the Music Business for 40+ years. I’ve worked with artists who could read and were amazing artists. I’ve worked with artists who couldn’t read a note and were geniuses. I’ve worked with artists who could read and sounded horrendous. And I’ve worked with artists who couldn’t read and ... bless their hearts... I’m trying to be compassionate... they should consider other career options. I’ve worked artists and had students who may not have any or a small amount of note reading ability but more times than not, I have stopped a student and said, “What was that voicing you played”? I had a young man who played in church for years. He didn’t read but he played some ridiculously complex stuff. He knew all of his chords and if he didn’t know what to call it, he still played it and he’s amazing. It’s God given talent. A gift. You are a phenomenal young guy. I teach at a place with people who have more degrees than a thermometer. But if you ask them to look at a lead sheet or improvise on a classical piece, they simply can’t do it. Don’t worry about these boneheads who say stuff about not reading. You are still delivering The goods. I wish I could sing like you and hear the harmonies you sing. I did a lot of background singing on sessions many, many years ago. I sounded good but I didn’t hear vocal harmonies the way you do. And you’re a quality engineer and producer who creates in a fast and practical manner. You’re doing a great thing with your channel. I wish you much success. You deserve it.
If it doesn’t apply, I correct. I absolutely can not stand when people make assumptions, I am a strong believer in correcting such. I’m not gonna sit and let people belittle me or my skill and decades of hard work because they think they know who a complete stranger is on the internet.
How is he the best. What exactly does he do special with it that makes it any different from for instance... Kanye West? Kanye does it live too. Drake does it live too. T-Pain did it live too. Every artist on earth does it live. What does Travis do that other people don’t? No one in the entirety of this video has answered that question.
IAMLXGEND i just think that u dont get that people really aim for that robotic sound and that it really is being liked. As long as the tuned vocals arent “of key” i think there is no wrong way of using it. There are just people that aim for the more natural sound and some that aim for the more robotic/ autotune style.
When you’re broke and you use type beats, a turtle beach headset, GarageBand, and (not so cheap) a MacBook pro to make music on your own 😂 thats meeeeeee
No. He doesn’t. Not the way singers should be using them. Don’t assume what YOU think I think. I say exactly what I mean. I don’t talk out of my bootyhole. I mean what I say. Travis autotune is his creative choice but it’s lazy and it’s not being used in a way SINGERS should be using them which is the entire point of this video. It’s not clickbait. Thanks.
Some people can and some can’t man. It’s life but what’s important is to know your own abilities and work your strengths. If you can’t sing there are still ways to improve and also tools to use to make your voice even better!
Man...... I’m starting to be thankful for my mom making me take piano lessons when I was a kid. For a second I was thinking, “ what determines what key a song is in”. And then I remember! Thank you momma!
"Em" means E minor, E major would be just "E" unless this site that you used has diffrent notation. I guess that's just a notation problem (or maybe, as you say later in the video, because the song has some notes that comes from the minor key it was enough for the site to detect the key as minor). Honestly tho if some beginners are reading this I wouldn't recommand using a site for finding the key either train your hear or just jam around over the instrumental with a piano or something to find the notes that are in the key :) You can then just learn your keys which isn't hard as long I you stick to major and minor. Anyway your video is great quality, and even if I didn't learn anything I enjoyed watching it :) and really good voice btw. keep up the good work ! Edit : My bad I just read your comment talking about that :/ I don't delete this com just in case it could be useful to a beginner but my bad I should have read the comment section before.
Most beginners I speak with have zero knowledge on music theory and have no clue how to find a note, play around on a piano or how to train their ears. I speak with hundreds of people who ask me about this, I have already told them all of this about training their ears and such, they have no clue what I am talking about even after going into great detail. Some people just will not be able to get it. So I recommend they go to the site instead of not knowing the key of their song they’re trying to record and not able to set the key until they learn music theory. I’ve had people literally press the key on the piano, it’s the exact same note they are singing and they still tell me they can’t find the key of the song. Not everyone has the ears or ability to be able to figure that stuff out on themselves. For them, using the site is perfectly fine and recommended. Thank you for the compliment on the video and thank you for reading the comments.
@@IAMLXGEND That's true some people have an hard time with that. But that's just a matter of training. Don't get me wrong there are some people who really have like a "handicap" (idk if that's the right word I'm not very good with english) but that's actually so rare. People who think they can't do it tho is not rare at all. I used to think I was tone deaf before realizing I just had to train. So yeah that is pretty cool to show this site for people who just want to have fun and use auto-tune (as it's the purpose of the video) :) The only thing i was trying to say is that if someone plans on taking music more seriously he should really start right now training his hear because if he uses a site for that chances are he will never be able to do it without it. So that's why I said i would not recommand that. (and this apply to way more than just finding the key of a song) Btw if anyone reading this is like "sad" because he doesn't have "prefect pitch/perfect ear" (once again idk how to say it in english) I have a good news : with trainning almost anyone on this planet can find the key of a song by listening to it, it can be hard but it's possible. I study music and finding the key of the song is something we have to do even for our tests and exams. I can tell you not a single one of us has "prefect pitch/perfect ear" and we had no idea it was even possible before university but now we can do it because we had teacher teaching us how to do so. :) Once again good video, keep making them, and I'll keep watching them. :) And I know that's not really the subject of the video so sorry about that
How do I keep autotune off rap vocals? Like I wanna keep it on my singing vocals but every time use autotune it gets on my rap vocals. How do I fix that?
If you’re recording both on the same track there is no way to do that. It’s either on or it’s off. So you have to record singing on one track and rapping on a Separate one.
i been trying to understand mixing for7 years now and you are the only one who make sense to me (I'm extreamly untalented and still can't mix after 7 years ...)
Man your comments hint at a pragmatism that is essential for making great art and It encouraged me. Like you, I’ve made almost the entirety of my first full length album on GarageBand using a focusrite interface, 250 dollar microphone, and a m audio midi keyboard. From the instrumentation, vocal production, to the mixing, you can achieve a professional sound on that software for desk top. I have tracks on tracks to prove it. The only reason why I would aspire for Logic and use it for the final recording of instruments is because of the plethora of plugins available GarageBand doesn’t have. What people don’t realize is that when you are forced to work with simple tools, craftsmanship should take over to become resourceful and creative with sounds. Would love to collaborate with you in the future. Could talk about this all day.
I try to get all and I feel bad even for missing a few a day. I have days where all I do is reply to comments even back 6 months just so I can be sure everyone’s heard back 😂 I just appreciate people who watch and support. So I gotta show that.
Sounds like a Robot singing. 😂😂 And to think I payed $100 for a hour long class on producing music at a real studio here in Michigan to not even learn that much and you are dropping all these gems here for free! 🙌🏾 You could really start some online classes $$$ where you teach people around the world via FaceTime or Skype or something.
Hahahaha yessss I swear I can’t listen to future or any mumble rapper who uses autotune or people like Jake Paul because it just sounds like a literal machine is singing for them 😂😂😂 and dang you paid $100 for a one hour class? Psh... I’m actually looking into making classes or doing courses or some sort of private lessons. I just wanna approach it the right way. Most times when I mention anything regarding having to pay, a lot of people tend to shy away from it or even if they support it, they don’t buy it :/
That was very helpful. Never considered sharing my creations until recently. Studying the process to put out a proper recording. I have mad respect for the artform and artist like you. Thank you for the help.
Thanks Again Your Tutorials are the Shzzziitt I use an iPad so a bit different process Your Generation is so Fortunate to have technology that allows your freedom of expression Thanks Again
Yea I don’t believe mobile GarageBand has the key setting feature I think It just autotunes to whatever note is closest. I’ll do some research into it but always happy to help out
Fun fact: After Antares created the software Auto-Tune, Cher was one of the first artists to ever use it commercially. This was her popular song Believe, and she insisted to keep the effect even after Warner asked them to remove it. Since then, it became super popular and was called the Cher Effect.
@@truffeltroll6668 Because it's used differently today. Cher used the software to warp her voice and create weird and surreal sounds. Nowadays rappers who can''t sing for shit are using it as a talent of theirs -.-
@@IAMLXGEND damn that sucks... I'm tryna use auto tune but not working correctly.. also my voice trembles when I auto tune it... is there a way 2 fix that?
I did a video on that last week, including how to clean up your vocals and make them sound better in the mix with a few third party plugins. th-cam.com/video/MGtowfZQKIA/w-d-xo.html Garageband has built in ones that work as well but won’t be as powerful. And this is only part of the process. Next week and the week after I will show more steps on how to do that.
I'm hardly using pro level equipment lol. The equipment I use is like between entry level and professional. But not pro level at all. I use Garageband because it gets the job done, it's simply, easy, and free. I had pro-tools years ago. Entirely too complicated to achieve very simple things. Also, I do not have $1000 to pay for that program. I have Logic. But never used it because as of right now, I don't need to. I can get everything I need done with Garageband just fine. Why get expensive software that's just going to complicate things if I can record radio quality songs in Garageband already with ease? If something complicates my creative process, I'm not going to create well. So I use what works for me. And for the last 8 years, that's been Garageband.
IAMLXGEND sort of agree with you but at the same time don’t 🤔 I get that you may not need logic Bc you might be able to the same thing on GarageBand but if anything I would say using the more profesional software would make it easier. Will it be harder at first? Perhaps it could be but only because you haven’t learned how. Just how you had to learn for GarageBand you have to learn for logic. And I’m pretty sure you know this just still don’t understand why you’re using GarageBand and not logic (when I click on this video I actually thought you probably used logic but for this specific video you just happen to use GarageBand. But after reading this comment i guess you use GarageBand) I use Fl Studio and rn I could tell you that GarageBand would be easier for a beginner but at the end of the day Fl studio would be faster for me because it wouldn’t limit me from anything I want to do and it would be the quicker way to do things after you learn how to use it.
Mattrixx nope. I’ve used more advance professional programs like pro tools for 5 years before ever even touching Garageband. It was entirely too confusing and never got easier. Ever. It’s just too much to do to get to simple tasks. Does this mean I’ll never use them? No. Eventually I will. But for now? Garageband is and has always been easier for me in my experience with both advance programs and this program. I get the best results. And if I can achieve the same results in Garageband as I do in Logic then why would I even need to touch Logic. There is no use. For the sake of saying I record in a “professional” program? Lol. I don’t care about all that. I care about what my music sounds like. And if it sounds the same I don’t see a reason to switch lol. If it ain’t broke, dont fix it. I use it because it only was it dirt simple to learn, it’s the workflow is also dirt simple. I’ve seen how other programs work. It’s too many steps.
@@IAMLXGENDI don't want to go back and forth. It really doesnt have any affect on me what you use I was just curious. For a home studio, you have an audio interface, mic, one of the most expensive Macbook pros on the market. Its not entry level. You are comfortable with what you get from garageband and thats ok. I'm not trying to challenge it. You are not achieving the same results that would be in logic though. The pitch correction alone would be much better in logic pro X. You havent hit a ceiling in garageband yet and thats cool. Use what works. When you do decide to switch it'll be quite easy for you if you've mastered GB. Interface is virtually the same.
IAMLXGEND yeah i definitely support you in what you gotta say if it works for you why change right. But still, it’s not even just the fact that’s it’s a “professional” program there’s just things like actually having a mixer tab instead of the simple volume knobs on GarageBand and also when coming to plugins, I’ve played with GarageBand a few times for a while now, but does it support any 3rd party plug ins? Are you able to mix and master the same way as in logic/fl studio. And I agree with the pro tools as well you really don’t need that expensive of a program when you can do the same with these it’s just when coming to GarageBand I find it limited to what It could do. But just to clear it out I’m not hating or anything because I support the fact that it’s the “player not the game” but i see you’ve succeeded with what you’re doing so keep going at it 💪🏼🔥
Hey, Lxgend, thanks for a great tutorial. Now that I've watched this no-nonsense to-the-point video, I'm following your other videos. Jim out on the frigid Alberta prairie.
im a self taught musician as well but i come from a long line of musicians & singers so i already had a very good idea of chords & notes when i started singing & playin the guitar extremely late at the age of 17. U explained it perfectly, i dont understand a whole lot of music theory but i do know more than the average joe especially with scales, chords & relative notes
Idk what you mean by “safer” but if you don’t have limit to key checked it’s going to have your voice going all over the place sounding like a confused dial up internet connection from 1986.
@@IAMLXGEND I see what you mean. Well I used to be tone deaf (really bad). To help me know if I am totally off key or pitchy, I uncheck "limit to key" and sing into it. If sound like an internet dial tone I know I am doing something wrong. I guess my question was if I sound good with the limiter off, could I be on my way to singing better based off that indication.
It was close enough... that’s a minor issue for people who have absolutely no idea what key their song is in. The software isn’t going to be perfect. But it’s going to help someone who has zero knowledge on music theory and what a key even is.
Is the website right or wrong? You make a great point that a melody corrected to minor when it should be major (or vice versa) will sound off on a few notes. The root of the scale being identified is a great start. How should we identify the tonality? Should we just swap maj/min if it sounds off with the backing?
Neil Wall the website is right. Because when I tuned it to what it told me, It corrected my vocals to what they were supposed to be doing. If anything was wrong, it may be me. I know the difference sound wise between Majors and Minors. But since I am self taught I still confuse which one is named which. I always forget if the “happy” sounding chords are majors or minors or the “sad” sounding chords are majors or minors. There are parts in this song where I sing both, so the autotune can not correct to both as you can only set the value to one or the other. In any case, if the program fiddles around with the vocals and it sounds incorrect then yes, just switch it to major, or minor whichever it’s not set on.
@@IAMLXGEND Thanks. Major Happy..... I guess if a tracks switches midway you can always duplicate it into 2 tracks and use major correction on one and minor on the other, cutting out the sections that don't apply to that tonality on each track. Love your enthusiastic work - a lot of people seem to be getting a lot out of it. Keep publishing! :)
Neil Wall you cant do that in Garageband unfortunately. You’re only able to set the key of the entire project, not a single track. But I guess that’s what comes with a free program. Also, thank you! I’m definitely gonna keep on going. I love what I do and love helping people.
I’d wanna hear your style and all first before deciding on that. Also depends on what the vibe of a track is if we do something separate. I just want to be sure it’s something I’m feeling.
Read the comments bro. My pitch is perfectly fine. I know the difference between major and minor. But as a self taught musician I did not know which one correlated with each word nor did I know that “Em” stood for minor.
hey do you have a video of how to put all keys & recording & beats and tracks together and formulate a song cuz i'm having hard time figuring all those things and how to make it together !!
hii im from srilanka...iima beginer to music production .i love your videos and these things becouse there ar very expensive to me ,so im very greatfull to you
when mixing vocals should I set my autotune to scale of the beat or listen and scale it to the pitch I’m singing in. And what plug in should I buy if I don’t stay in key a lot. What plug in will change w my voice
So what do you do if there are multiple scales your singing in and one is wobbly? Move it to another track? Or would you alter the pitch of which you are singing it...
Lol loved this man...n love how you compose yourself an how mimic how it sounds way off on autotune is funny..but on real note this is very informative thanks man.
Idk if you fixed it yet, but I'm pretty sure the song was supposed to be in e minor, cause in the Audio keychain website, the m was lowercase, which pretty much meant that it's a minor key. No offense tho, your skills are amazing!
Yes I know. Read the pinned comment. The song would mess up no matter what key it was set in. It’s a problem with Garageband’s limited pitch correction. It’s wonky and not reliable. I set it in both major and minor and it did the same. No offense taken it’s just a comment I get 40,000,000 times a day for the last 2 years. It’s a bit tiring lol. I appreciate it though.
If you’re using just Garageband then you’ll have to cut that isolated vocal and paste it on its own track. Then turn the pitch correction up on that track. Otherwise you can use plugins like wavestune to correct only specific lines in a single track without needing to separate it to another track.

If you’re recording both on the same track there is no way to do that. It’s either on or it’s off. So you have to record singing on one track and rapping on a Separate one.
IAMLXGEND Appreciate man thanks 🙏
IAMLXGEND *laughing in fl studio*
Just automate it
Not even gonna lie but your song you used for an example was heat

You make things easy to understand, fun to watch, and a whole lot less daunting. Thank you :-)
i been trying to understand mixing for7 years now and you are the only one who make sense to me (I'm extreamly untalented and still can't mix after 7 years ...)
Man your comments hint at a pragmatism that is essential for making great art and It encouraged me. Like you, I’ve made almost the entirety of my first full length album on GarageBand using a focusrite interface, 250 dollar microphone, and a m audio midi keyboard. From the instrumentation, vocal production, to the mixing, you can achieve a professional sound on that software for desk top. I have tracks on tracks to prove it. The only reason why I would aspire for Logic and use it for the final recording of instruments is because of the plethora of plugins available GarageBand doesn’t have. What people don’t realize is that when you are forced to work with simple tools, craftsmanship should take over to become resourceful and creative with sounds. Would love to collaborate with you in the future. Could talk about this all day.
so is there a way to cut that specific part if the song thats out of key and change the autotune for that specific part?
Not with Garageband autotune. No. You need a 3rd party plugin like wavestune.
yes, you just have to record a separate session and splice the two... a little work but its worth it if you want it to sound right to you
Bruh when you’re putting out that album I want to hear it that song is hot

Your videos are mad helpful and u can tell your a professional and you know what your talking about
Aye that track in G minor sound good though. 😂😂
No. It’s not. It’s in Em. The root chord is E, G, B. And thanks!
Unless this is a troll comment lol
Ohh wait I think I know what you were saying 😂😂😂
@@IAMLXGEND I was saying when you put it in G minor it sounded good. I liked it both ways.
My bad man I read that wrong lol. I thought you were saying it was in G. Hahaha thanks for the comment!!
Sounds like a Robot singing. 😂😂
And to think I payed $100 for a hour long class on producing music at a real studio here in Michigan to not even learn that much and you are dropping all these gems here for free! 🙌🏾
You could really start some online classes $$$ where you teach people around the world via FaceTime or Skype or something.
Hahahaha yessss I swear I can’t listen to future or any mumble rapper who uses autotune or people like Jake Paul because it just sounds like a literal machine is singing for them 😂😂😂 and dang you paid $100 for a one hour class? Psh... I’m actually looking into making classes or doing courses or some sort of private lessons. I just wanna approach it the right way. Most times when I mention anything regarding having to pay, a lot of people tend to shy away from it or even if they support it, they don’t buy it :/
@@IAMLXGEND i pay for what i wanna learn, so yea I'd pay it bro lol
I would def pay for his classes. I love the simplicity of how he explains

IAMLXGEND who the fuck is jake Paul sounds fakes
Very Knowledgeable, I really enjoyed this video and took away so much from it , I never even existed in GarageBand.
Hahahaha most people don’t know, it’s a shame! So many hidden gems in that program
ive watched this twice over the last two years and its still the best explanation out there. Thanks
You’re most welcome 🙏🏾
were I can find the voice 'male basic' ??
Idk if it’s in the new update. That file I have is from an older version of Garageband.

so we can send put the instrumental in the software and it will give us the note we're supposed to use with the pitch correction?
Not if you put it in the software. But the website I share, yes.

I agree
Yea I don’t believe mobile GarageBand has the key setting feature I think It just autotunes to whatever note is closest. I’ll do some research into it but always happy to help out
Ayeee!!!
What auto tune program are you using?
The one I’m talking about in the entire video and in the title lol.
IAMLXGEND oh damn my b I’m new to all this shi
Your singing is fireee my guy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: After Antares created the software Auto-Tune, Cher was one of the first artists to ever use it commercially. This was her popular song Believe, and she insisted to keep the effect even after Warner asked them to remove it. Since then, it became super popular and was called the Cher Effect.
But why do we call it Auto tune right now. Lol
@@truffeltroll6668 Because it's used differently today. Cher used the software to warp her voice and create weird and surreal sounds. Nowadays rappers who can''t sing for shit are using it as a talent of theirs -.-
my garage band doesnt look the same as yours...i am using it on my ipad...is that why?
Yes. You’re using Garageband iOS. I’m using desktop. Way different features.
@@IAMLXGEND damn that sucks... I'm tryna use auto tune but not working correctly.. also my voice trembles when I auto tune it... is there a way 2 fix that?
The voice in G minor sounds like Michael Jackson
Lol, more like alvin and the chipmunks
This song gives me a Michael Jackson vibe it's nice
MJ.

Yes it does. Your Garageband version has to be extremely old if it doesn’t.

@@IAMLXGEND but how do I mix rap vocals so that they can be more in the face while erasing the excess "ss,tt,sh's"
I did a video on that last week, including how to clean up your vocals and make them sound better in the mix with a few third party plugins. th-cam.com/video/MGtowfZQKIA/w-d-xo.html Garageband has built in ones that work as well but won’t be as powerful. And this is only part of the process. Next week and the week after I will show more steps on how to do that.
@@IAMLXGEND cool could you leave the links for the plugins

Hey bro can I download some plug ins in garbage band like antares auto tune?
My dude.. audiokeychain.. good looking!
im a total newbie and literally just started with garageband and recording.... just found your channel, your tutorials are sooo helpful! thank you!
You’re using all this pro level equipment and you’re recording in GarageBand? Why?
I'm hardly using pro level equipment lol. The equipment I use is like between entry level and professional. But not pro level at all. I use Garageband because it gets the job done, it's simply, easy, and free. I had pro-tools years ago. Entirely too complicated to achieve very simple things. Also, I do not have $1000 to pay for that program. I have Logic. But never used it because as of right now, I don't need to. I can get everything I need done with Garageband just fine. Why get expensive software that's just going to complicate things if I can record radio quality songs in Garageband already with ease? If something complicates my creative process, I'm not going to create well. So I use what works for me. And for the last 8 years, that's been Garageband.
IAMLXGEND sort of agree with you but at the same time don’t 🤔 I get that you may not need logic Bc you might be able to the same thing on GarageBand but if anything I would say using the more profesional software would make it easier. Will it be harder at first? Perhaps it could be but only because you haven’t learned how. Just how you had to learn for GarageBand you have to learn for logic. And I’m pretty sure you know this just still don’t understand why you’re using GarageBand and not logic (when I click on this video I actually thought you probably used logic but for this specific video you just happen to use GarageBand. But after reading this comment i guess you use GarageBand) I use Fl Studio and rn I could tell you that GarageBand would be easier for a beginner but at the end of the day Fl studio would be faster for me because it wouldn’t limit me from anything I want to do and it would be the quicker way to do things after you learn how to use it.
Mattrixx nope. I’ve used more advance professional programs like pro tools for 5 years before ever even touching Garageband. It was entirely too confusing and never got easier. Ever. It’s just too much to do to get to simple tasks. Does this mean I’ll never use them? No. Eventually I will. But for now? Garageband is and has always been easier for me in my experience with both advance programs and this program. I get the best results. And if I can achieve the same results in Garageband as I do in Logic then why would I even need to touch Logic. There is no use. For the sake of saying I record in a “professional” program? Lol. I don’t care about all that. I care about what my music sounds like. And if it sounds the same I don’t see a reason to switch lol. If it ain’t broke, dont fix it. I use it because it only was it dirt simple to learn, it’s the workflow is also dirt simple. I’ve seen how other programs work. It’s too many steps.
@@IAMLXGENDI don't want to go back and forth. It really doesnt have any affect on me what you use I was just curious. For a home studio, you have an audio interface, mic, one of the most expensive Macbook pros on the market. Its not entry level. You are comfortable with what you get from garageband and thats ok. I'm not trying to challenge it. You are not achieving the same results that would be in logic though. The pitch correction alone would be much better in logic pro X. You havent hit a ceiling in garageband yet and thats cool. Use what works. When you do decide to switch it'll be quite easy for you if you've mastered GB. Interface is virtually the same.
IAMLXGEND yeah i definitely support you in what you gotta say if it works for you why change right. But still, it’s not even just the fact that’s it’s a “professional” program there’s just things like actually having a mixer tab instead of the simple volume knobs on GarageBand and also when coming to plugins, I’ve played with GarageBand a few times for a while now, but does it support any 3rd party plug ins? Are you able to mix and master the same way as in logic/fl studio. And I agree with the pro tools as well you really don’t need that expensive of a program when you can do the same with these it’s just when coming to GarageBand I find it limited to what It could do. But just to clear it out I’m not hating or anything because I support the fact that it’s the “player not the game” but i see you’ve succeeded with what you’re doing so keep going at it 💪🏼🔥
Hey, Lxgend, thanks for a great tutorial. Now that I've watched this no-nonsense to-the-point video, I'm following your other videos. Jim out on the frigid Alberta prairie.
im a self taught musician as well but i come from a long line of musicians & singers so i already had a very good idea of chords & notes when i started singing & playin the guitar extremely late at the age of 17. U explained it perfectly, i dont understand a whole lot of music theory but i do know more than the average joe especially with scales, chords & relative notes
Thank you for saying that because I’m really self conscious when it comes to the way I explain things. Lol. I’m just happy it makes sense
Automation is beautiful...
Oh yes it is
3:18 - When Michael Jackson found out about autotune 😂😂
Lol oh Lord
Yassss thank you 🤘🏿
You’re welcome and thank YOU!
12:20 Idk if i just missed it several times or what but how do you correct the one note that’s out of place
Get wavestune or turn off the autotune on that vocal by putting it on its own vocal track.
If you sing into garage band without "limit to key" checked, is that safer to do as well to practice using autotune?
Idk what you mean by “safer” but if you don’t have limit to key checked it’s going to have your voice going all over the place sounding like a confused dial up internet connection from 1986.
@@IAMLXGEND I see what you mean. Well I used to be tone deaf (really bad). To help me know if I am totally off key or pitchy, I uncheck "limit to key" and sing into it. If sound like an internet dial tone I know I am doing something wrong. I guess my question was if I sound good with the limiter off, could I be on my way to singing better based off that indication.
I'm getting a MacBook Air for Christmas and I'm so excited to finally put these tutorials to use
I’m happy you’d even use my tutorials of the thousands already in this platform! It’s my honor 🙏🏾
1:59 his name?
I say who it is in the video just before that. 1:43.
How do you not know who that is?
That’s G minor sounded like Michael Jackson 🤣
It sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks
This is very informative! U explained it perfectly!
This has been really helpful bro 👌🏻
Thank you!
bruh Em in music is E minor Emaj is major so that web site said it was E minor
It was close enough... that’s a minor issue for people who have absolutely no idea what key their song is in. The software isn’t going to be perfect. But it’s going to help someone who has zero knowledge on music theory and what a key even is.
Is the website right or wrong? You make a great point that a melody corrected to minor when it should be major (or vice versa) will sound off on a few notes. The root of the scale being identified is a great start. How should we identify the tonality? Should we just swap maj/min if it sounds off with the backing?
Neil Wall the website is right. Because when I tuned it to what it told me, It corrected my vocals to what they were supposed to be doing. If anything was wrong, it may be me. I know the difference sound wise between Majors and Minors. But since I am self taught I still confuse which one is named which. I always forget if the “happy” sounding chords are majors or minors or the “sad” sounding chords are majors or minors. There are parts in this song where I sing both, so the autotune can not correct to both as you can only set the value to one or the other.
In any case, if the program fiddles around with the vocals and it sounds incorrect then yes, just switch it to major, or minor whichever it’s not set on.
@@IAMLXGEND Thanks. Major Happy..... I guess if a tracks switches midway you can always duplicate it into 2 tracks and use major correction on one and minor on the other, cutting out the sections that don't apply to that tonality on each track. Love your enthusiastic work - a lot of people seem to be getting a lot out of it. Keep publishing! :)
Neil Wall you cant do that in Garageband unfortunately. You’re only able to set the key of the entire project, not a single track. But I guess that’s what comes with a free program. Also, thank you! I’m definitely gonna keep on going. I love what I do and love helping people.
Let’s collab!!
In what way?
Let’s collab on a track. 👌🏼 You got good vocals.
Or even if I could remix this track u did by adding a verse in it. I think it’d be dope. Great job man.
I’d wanna hear your style and all first before deciding on that. Also depends on what the vibe of a track is if we do something separate. I just want to be sure it’s something I’m feeling.
Ok sounds good I’ll send you my link.
Sorry to burst your perfect pitch bubble bro, but Em is E minor not major.
Read the comments bro. My pitch is perfectly fine. I know the difference between major and minor. But as a self taught musician I did not know which one correlated with each word nor did I know that “Em” stood for minor.
@@IAMLXGEND Alright, I feel ya bro
hey do you have a video of how to put all keys & recording & beats and tracks together and formulate a song cuz i'm having hard time figuring all those things and how to make it together !!
Not sure what you Mean. Are you talk about making an entire song including the beat, lyrics, and vocals?
@@IAMLXGEND yeah I mean when u make vocals separately and beats separately and everything how do u make them look full and fully functional
Thanks for your explanation man, your song sounds great!
All i want to do is sound like Travis Scott
So just turn up autotune all the way.
*insert “yeah” adlib*
Tpains 2 years in 15 minutes
Hahahaha
when mixing vocals should I set my autotune to scale of the beat or listen and scale it to the pitch I’m singing in.
hii im from srilanka...iima beginer to music production .i love your videos and these things becouse there ar very expensive to me ,so im very greatfull to you
Great video bro, and a beautiful voice. Keep doing your thing man.
Greatly appreciate it and thank you!
when mixing vocals should I set my autotune to scale of the beat or listen and scale it to the pitch I’m singing in. And what plug in should I buy if I don’t stay in key a lot. What plug in will change w my voice
Beautiful. Great voice and great explanation brother. All the best.
So what do you do if there are multiple scales your singing in and one is wobbly? Move it to another track? Or would you alter the pitch of which you are singing it...
I’m getting my first MacBook Pro, which is going to be my first apple computer. Super excited!
Nice!
Love the attention to detail -- look forward to seeing all of your videos!
You've really been helping me out with most of my questions bro, thank you!
You are a brilliant producer keep up the great work I'm inspired by you every time I watch your videos stay blessed
This is why I do it man. Keeping people inspired is what I live for. Happy to push you to be motivated!
as a beginner musician, i find ur videos VERY informative! thank u so much for this great content
Lol loved this man...n love how you compose yourself an how mimic how it sounds way off on autotune is funny..but on real note this is very informative thanks man.
The intro to this video is Gold lmao 😂
Another Great video bro 👍🏿
It really is hahahaha. Thank you
Sounds a lot like the weekends musical style! Very interesting, thanks for sharing😊
Idk if you fixed it yet, but I'm pretty sure the song was supposed to be in e minor, cause in the Audio keychain website, the m was lowercase, which pretty much meant that it's a minor key. No offense tho, your skills are amazing!
Yes I know. Read the pinned comment. The song would mess up no matter what key it was set in. It’s a problem with Garageband’s limited pitch correction. It’s wonky and not reliable. I set it in both major and minor and it did the same.
No offense taken it’s just a comment I get 40,000,000 times a day for the last 2 years. It’s a bit tiring lol. I appreciate it though.
Thanks for the lesson. Can we break apart the track so we can put tuning on the other parts of the song that is different keys?
If you have the stems.
If you mean the vocals then no. Not with the stock autotune.
Yo that was helpful i hope it make it big one day with your advice. Take care man.
You too man, thank you
You have natural music . You just fee it also I don’t think that people can teach that producer ear you have excellence that is a true talent
You can't teach it nope.
So if your voice has a higher pitch would you put the pitch correction higher or lower to adjust it to the song?
It’s not about your voice. It’s about the beat. That’s why you check they key of the beat.
IAMLXGEND Hey thanks man for helping us out dude, have a good day!
Do you have a iPhone edition of this video somewhere? It looks a little different on the Garageband app and I wanna follow along
Also, that song is dope

IAMLXGEND 🙌🏾
this was seriously helpful. i’ve been struggling to use and not abuse this feature, and this video really helped me understand the function better
Finally someone who appreciates the info
Hey I'd love to know how to auto correct just an isolated vocal pitch in a previously recorded vocal line!!
If you’re using just Garageband then you’ll have to cut that isolated vocal and paste it on its own track. Then turn the pitch correction up on that track. Otherwise you can use plugins like wavestune to correct only specific lines in a single track without needing to separate it to another track.
nah that intro had me WEAK! LOL. but thank you for dropping these gems, I loved it
I pretty much use Logic Pro do you have any videos breaking down their autotune?
Is there a way to download more auto tune applications to GarageBand ?
Yup.
What type of auto tune apps do u think are the best that are free ?
None. Unless you’re talking about for iOS. You can get voloco. But for a computer: none. The only one that’s free is the one in GarageBand.
