Total DAW noob here, @ 1:28 the green midi track window pops up on 2nd drum track, what do you press to do that? I feel you're a little fast for new guys but great info 👍🏻✌🏻
@@TheBandGuide Oh right, thanks. Literally unboxed my first Mac & opened GarageBand 1st time ever today. Have seen friends use DAW so figured I'd give it a go. 👍🏻
I’ve posted this on a couple of GarageBand Facebook groups. I’ve done videos like this on my channel but only for iOS. Great to see a video on splitting drums for Mac. Hopefully you get some new subs from it. Great work!
Perfect video timing. I am not happy with my drum mix on a track I’m currently working on and this is just what I need to get more control over the different sections!! Great video. P.s. found this via Jade Starr who shared in a GB Facebook group!
Something else I find useful is if I want a run of snare or tom hits to gradually increase in volume going into the edit mode and changing the velocity of each hit to give me the desired increasing level. Also handy if I don't want all the kick hits the same volume, common with real drummers.
After watching the previous series of videos giving the drums more life at what point do you split all those tracks into individual parts? Or do you mix these down to one track (somehow) before adding the complain,etc??? So many questions. But it's great working along to these videos.
Great info! Must say i feel ashame that I never thought of this simple way of using the drum mixer and just mute the drums instead of copying and erase the drums you don't want to sound for each channel. GOD! why make things easy when you can complicate things ha ha! Thanks a lot for reminding me how stupid I am :) Great info!
@@TheBandGuide I wonder about the possibility to arrange garagebands drums in the sampler. Meaning to pick your favourite sound from different kit and place them on specific keys in the sampler and build your own kit. I know you can achieve same effect with other methods but it seems that i can't find any internal samples from garagebands own drums. Are they hidden somewhere? Otherwise it seems that i have to use external samples. Any ideas about this would be much appreciated :)
If you are recording into midi, yes! You could duplicate the track to create multiple tracks then just delete the midi information for everything except the track you are creating (ie everything but the kick, snare, etc)
Hi Colin, great video! I have a question: I fiddled with the controls (such as “room” and the individual drum piece knobs and added a bit more compression) on my original drummer track. But now I would like to separate my drums like you’ve shown here. Will the settings that I messed with be carried over to my midi tracks? I’m thinking and hoping no because I’m just copying data in the region and not copying the settings of the drummer track itself (I hope I’m making sense here.) Can you confirm? Thanks so much! Subscribed 👍
Hi Kim- thanks! The settings won't carry over from a drummer track to a midi since it is a "software instrument" track, but if you set the settings on the first midi track and then duplicate that from that track for the new tracks, any of the changed settings will copy over. Does that make sense? Thank you for subscribing!
@@TheBandGuide Yes, that makes perfect sense! Thank you for the reply! I hope to get my drums sounding real and good by the end of the day. I’m watching more of your videos this morning. Love the detailed explanations! Awesome channel 👍🏻👍🏻

I like to have a GB project solely for my drums and then bounce that to apply in the song.
That’s a great approach!
I Dig That!!
This is brilliant, Colin. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Lemme just say, You've been a MASSIVE help with GB and drums for me!! Thank you!!
Thanks!!! I've learned so much from your great presentations and generosity.
Total DAW noob here, @ 1:28 the green midi track window pops up on 2nd drum track, what do you press to do that? I feel you're a little fast for new guys but great info 👍🏻✌🏻
Thank you! The 2nd track is a midi track, so if you copy the drummer and paste it onto that track, it will paste as midi info instead of drummer

That's awesome, thank you so much! I'm excited to be a part of the community and love your work!
The Band Guide no problem. Loving your channel also!
Another great tutorial, thank you Colin.

Awesome, Celine! I hope it helps! And huge thanks to Jade Starr 🙏
This is SUPER helpful. Thank you very much for sharing!
brilliant advice - thanks so much!!!
Great way to do this!! I use kontakt with ggd but I think I can still make this work!!
Nice!!

Absolutely! The GB drummer does a pretty good with slightly varied velocities throughout but I definitely spend time making sure they are what I want

I’ve never thought of this before. Thanks!!!
It’s been a game changer!
Is there a way to do this in iOS? I’ve got a Mac but I’m trying to find easier ways in iOS to edit drum tracks.
Very grateful for this video, thank you so much for breaking this down so well!
Glad it was helpful!
How did you pop in the midi editable track at the beginning ?
Excellent, thank you!
Cheers for this
Holy cow this is a game changer
Can you do the same with the stock loops in GarageBand? The Blue loops specifically?
Is this option of turning off drum parts not needed, available in logic?
Can I combine those drum midi tracks as one group to be used for EZ Drummer ?
How did you convert the SoCal track to the midi track OH in the first place?
Great info!

Hahaha it’s amazing how sometimes we bypass the easy answer for the most complicated one!

How did you turn convert it into MIDI session?
Patta 🇱🇰🔥🇱🇰
Colin, thank you for such a wonderful tutorial! Can this work on loop drums as well?
It can if it’s a midi loop! Some of the loops are audio loops, though. Those won’t be able to be separated
is there any possible way to turn a recorded electric drum into parts like that ?
If you are recording into midi, yes! You could duplicate the track to create multiple tracks then just delete the midi information for everything except the track you are creating (ie everything but the kick, snare, etc)

Hey man, can I do it using garageband for iphone?
I wish I knew iOS better, but I'm not sure! Jade Starr and Pete Johns have done some great videos on iOS GarageBand and drummer
Hi I don't anderstand how to the drum share it in many tracks?
I'm afraid I don't understand your question! Could you tell me a little bit more about what you are wanting to do?
@@TheBandGuide i think his question is how to split to H H, snar....ect tnx
@@TheBandGuide hi , no problem . I have garageband i don't know how to use very wel , so my question is how to split it the drum if you can ? Tnx
