    Probably one of the most effective Garageband tutorials I've ever seen. My gosh why aren't they all like this. I can't describe why it's more effective. But we really get to see him start from scratch and then use all of the most essential features without getting into anything overly trivial.

    • @AlexanderFromTheStarDimension
      @AlexanderFromTheStarDimension 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Everything went over in this video is pretty essential to making a basic song. Every single feature showcased can and should be utilized in a basic Garageband song.

    A really useful and well explained Garageband tutorial. Presentation becomes just a bit too quick and content-laden from about 31 minutes for me, a newcomer to the software, but it is all there and easy to replay. A lot more intelligent than some of the other TH-cam videos on the same topic. Many thanks for this video. Very clear indeed. :)

  • @Doady1337
    @Doady1337 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For me, the best part was the sample delay panning the percussion. Really bedded it in and made it sound lovely and polished! Helpful tip that, as I some times struggle to get the sounds integrated.

  • @KatherineAnnabella
    @KatherineAnnabella 6 ปีที่แล้ว +290

    Not basic enough for me...what’s a midi controller? Is that a keyboard?

    • @pointblankmusicschool
      @pointblankmusicschool  6 ปีที่แล้ว +82

      A midi controller often looks like a keyboard but doesn't always. Midi can get quite complex but for the purposes of your question, a midi controller is whatever you use to play notes in something like GarageBand (whereas a keyboard will play notes internally). Sometimes it looks like a keyboard, ie laid out with white and black notes as a piano is, or sometimes it will be laid out in rubbery pads that you can hit instead of keys. You can use your computer's keyboard in this way too, although its rare that you would call that a midi controller, as its not its primary function.
      I hope that helps.

    • @ghostboi165
      @ghostboi165 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      basic answer: midi controlled=electric piano (i might be incorrect though)

    • @Jeff99
      @Jeff99 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Although there are several types of MIDI controllers, let's assume a keyboard. MIDI is a format for digitally describing a note. A keyboard MIDI controller lets you play notes and outputs the digital notation over a MIDI cable to a MIDI input, such as a Mac or other MIDI device, that receives the MIDI notes and either records them, like with GarageBand, or plays them with a different sound than the keyboard has. Older MIDI cables had several individual lines within and used round connectors. They are still popular, but now MIDI can be sent over USB lines making it easier to connect to a computer. Does that help?

      Point Blank Music School is the akai professional mpk mini MKII considered as a midi? I’m new to making beats (I’ve been singer/songwriter style for about 16 yrs-time to expand 😝) I just bought one of those today Bc I’m not fond of the keyboard
      I really appreciate your videos! Getting me very excited!

    I just wanna say I used to use FL studio on windows to compose songs for years but then decided to switch to Mac because of the music producing culture on Mac. Tried out many programs and just couldn’t make a song so I lost interest until I watched this video and now I have just finished producing my first song in 5 years. So thank you.

    Right here we go, attempting to just recreate what you've done here. Had my Mac for over a year now and I've only made two songs with my guitar and mic so gonna learn some GarageBand basics and get moving.
    *Edit- Gave this ago over about 3 hours and I have something resembling this but with easier piano chords because I'm literally using my Mac air keyboard as notes haha. Doesn't sound too bad!
