I'm glad GarageBand has the balls to make software with limitations. God forbid we spend more time on the music and less time adjusting parameters. GarageBand is not designed for precision, and it's all the better for it
What?! No. That mentality is why companies can charge whatever the hell they want for third-party plugins. You make a feature rich, actual useable DAW, with a user interface so simple a caveman can use it. Have built-in izotope style plugins for the one-click mastering stuff and a real plugin package that covers all of the bases for power users. Apple is one of the few companies that could pull it off but that takes actual balls.
@@michaelh.60 You can not make a feature rich software and keep it simple enough to be cave man proof without investing a LOT on development, since it is a free software, it makes no sense for Apple to invest that much on it.
@@Fernando-ry5qt If we were talking about 99% of other situations, I would tend to agree with you. However, Apple makes software to sell hardware (for the most part), which is how garage band came to exist and that development is pretty much subsidized by logic pro development. It's not a huge leap for Apple. It would be them putting their balls on the table like they did when they put M1 chips into iPads. I'd wager that the only reason they haven't done so already is because they are very, very careful about cannibalizing sales of their own products and very good at stratifying their products.
I dunno. I find Garageband (on iPad) to be unintuitive, with effects hidden under multiple menu taps and the audio quality is a bit "dull". I've tried using it more than once but keep going to other DAWs like Nanostudio 2 or Cubasis. Garageband does have some nice features though.
Been on garage band nearly all of my production life on a 2012 MacBook Pro, but recently started working with mpc live with my Akai MPC Key 61. It’s so different but a welcome and deeper change into software instruments and recording. It’s been a blast
Hola mate 👋🏾 Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to create the content you make and to keep up the good work. As I’m new when it come to music production and its great to have a guide like you helping us all out on our musical journeys.
Dude, I’m just back to GarageBand putting backing tracks together for a solo live bass and drums dub reggae style, the eq was not working at all, now I can do a high cut on my subs and beat matches , nice tip much appreciated and side note appreciate the brevity and concision of the vid . Too many “how to “ are filled with hums and hah and asides …good job
Now if only we could get real time filter automation for every plugin 🙏😵🙄 including having recorded midi on an alchemy patch and then playing with the bells and whistles of the patch and getting those changes to record without having to actually play at the same time! Of course as soon as you attempt this, garage band shits inside of itself lol
First, that’s a fantastic ‘brain-dead’ riff Patrick, hats off. It’s a skill. Second, I haven’t seen a scoff of GarageBand iOS for quite some time…but someone just did it in these comments. I have to thank these people really, because basically it was their scoffing at GarageBand iOS that drew my attention to it while I was locked in mortal combat with Steinberg’s Cubase 9 on my PC. Truly, I was thinking nothing had changed in digital recording and kept hearing ‘DAW’ and ‘Proper DAW’ and scoffing about GB iOS being a ‘toy/joke/for children/(insert your own disparaging term). This asymmetric listing of people’s shoulders under the burden of that chip, caught my eye, or ear, and basically I thought this: ‘If this baby DAW of Apple’s is (for example!) ‘barely worthy of the name’, maybe I might actually be able to get to grips with it’. And I’ve gone from the iPad 4 barely managing 2 tracks, to an iPad Pro M1 that can playback all 32 tracks of GarageBand while simultaneously playing back 45 tracks worth of a Cubasis 3 song. And hit some milestones along the way with an iPad Pro 2…and I don’t give a rotten fig what anyone thinks about GarageBand iOS/iPadOS. Was it Galileo who asked to be judged not by how messy his life was, but by his skills and accomplishments? I think he drew a perfect circle by eye or something, and so impressed his would-be assassins they took him to their leader rather than carry out their orders, I think that’s how it went anyway. Apple have democratised the almost-perfect sound quality that previously was in the domain of a very few. The songs and the tunes and the weird and wonderful soundscapes that can and are being created, are all that matter. I used to make what we’d call ‘drones’ when I was a kid, and it was utterly pointless. They were beaten around in the sky by the flailing Scottish wind without mercy, and the last one had its wings chopped in half as it glided serenely across a farmer’s field and went between two lines of rather unflinching wire! My father looked at me, I realised he expected me to cry. But no, I grinned up at him with the two parts of the aircraft in my hands, the engine still warm from the flight ‘Cor! You see that dad?! That was brilliant, it’s like it’s damaged in the war!’ I stuck it back together, spliced, and it was stronger than ever. If a song doesn’t work out, you fix it, or leave it and take a different tack for now, maybe circle back later. Some of the best feelings, are from arguably the most pointless activities with the most meagre of resources. I cite bogies…no, not those ones, the ones that roll down hills, the Americans call them ‘soapbox racers’. Can’t think of a more pojntless or brilliant activity. Thanks Patrick I’ll give this EQ a look, now I’ve cautiously migrated up to iPadOS 16.3.1, take care all, just do you, keep making better music, keep progressing. Scoffing is not an activity I do much of, or pay much attention to, nor should anyone really. Someone scoffed just the other day, at me having to fix my own car up on ramps rather than hand it to a mechanic. These divergent circumstances are not caused by either party, and I don’t feel the need to scoff at them being singularly clueless about machines. I simply am baffled by their scoff, and move on, gladly. So should we all.
It's their free software for people to play with, but it's not for serious production, so no complaints on those prior limitations. I mean I have a 10 year old Macbook air that it worked just fine with. Now their dongles are a whole other issue.
You MIGHT be able to get it working via Inter App Audio, but Apple have pretty much stopped supporting it. I stopped using Bias apps a while ago as Positive Grid refuse to update them to be AUv3 compatible for some reason. More info on using IAA here: th-cam.com/video/5FdQ6QMZqP4/w-d-xo.html
Nice, but not what the title suggested to me, Patrick. This seems like no improvement to GaragaBand itself after all. Buses immediately came to my mind instead ...
For some reason all of my Apple audio extensions have no UI interface and it’s just a bunch of fader knobs, I didn’t even know that it was supposed to look like that, how do I fix it
These are great but also suck for a big reason.. you cannot record using the 'Merge Recordings' setting..for example.. changes you make in the butter low pass, live and record it to the track.. like you can with the Alchemy Synth
When I go to the audiounit extensions, nothing shows up - not even Apple's. If I go to the app store I don't see the Apple extensions. How do I get these? I have the latest version of Garageband and iOS installed. iPad mini 6 here.
I think I figured it out - I had no third party extensions installed. I went back and installed just one - the free Moog app - and after that the Apple AU extensions showed up. Weird that I had to have something installed but that helped.
Tonebridge keeps on crashing my GarageBand… iPhone 13 mini current iOS,any suggestions as to why? Also I’ve noticed bias 2 FX does not sound good and a few other amp sim apps hiss and pop… I’m pretty new at this so I’m basically lost
If only GarageBand would finally let us Monitor more than one track. Even if it where only two tracks. That would be so helpful to hear yourself play a guitar and sing. But no.
I'm from Canada. Either the upgrade is not already available here or, somehow, I can't add Apple's other "Audio Unit Extensions" Is there a way to access the Audio Unit Extensions? By the way, I am using iPadOS 16.3.1
Your right to a certain extent, though I don’t think it’s really the case with the iOS version. On Mac Apple have created a clear upgrade path to Logic. It’s a much bigger leap for iPad/iPhone users to spend $1000’s on a Mac, learn a new operating system and then learn Logic.
@@TheGaragebandGuide yes. did i jump into an alternate timeline or something? maybe i downloaded them a long time ago and now apple just made it pre-installed? idk. but this is NOT new by any means.
A personal attack! 😂 Come on now. I’m merely suggesting that anyone who would describe an iOS DAW as a ‘toy’ obviously doesn’t know much about making music on the platform. Have you ever used an iPad or iPhone to make music Anthony?

Apparently, all I had to do was click on the « Show/Allow Audio Unit Estensions » in Settings-GarageBand…
Why doesn't the volume of the entire set of tracks appear right after the metronome in GarageBand Mobile? who can help me?
