Do you have something more basic? I'm an enthusiast and I don't have knowledge at all about musical production. I'm a really big fan of sampling and MPC but don't know how to use them either. Thanks for your time.

Lots of information here in a very quick and easy to follow video. And all with that classic GarageBand Guide vibe. A must for new GB iOS users. 👍🤘

Thanks - nice to hear a Scottish accent :-)

Thank you so much for the introduction!!! I’ve been having a lot of trouble using GarageBand since I want to record a song, but most tutorials are really fast or aren’t really thorough at explaining. Thank you so much!! 😊

Is it possible to use garage band if you don’t know how to play an instrument?😅😅

[hellobye]

I need help: Every time I click on an instrument for example the piano, the keys won’t show up for me and it’s just blank. How do I fix that?

Need a 2020 update of this! Just got a new iPhone SE and iPad 11 inch and I’m so excited 😆 can’t wait to learn

[lindasue]

For a beginner, would you recommend sticking to the loops as an accompaniment while getting used to the other features?

Straightforward and helpful, as usual! I'd love to see more content about GB for iPad. I recently started using it more because I'm on the road lately.

Patrick, have you found that seeing the guitar fretboard on the screen like that changes the way you think about writing guitar parts? Something about it being laid out in front of me more like a piano has an effect on the way I see it, and I tend to think of the instrument differently.

This was very helpful and everything was taught at a very good pace. You explained things at the perfect speed for me to be able to absorb it all haha. I’m excited to give this a try... thank you!

Awesome face at 0:02... I thought I was the only one who makes this face. I'm impressed. Watching the video now to get my garage band skills up lol

[dandrem.]

So you basically have to know how to play and instrument fully to use this thing?

[tammybarrett]

Plan to use this to teach kids songwriting at school! Thanks for the good info!

[andieee]

i've got some song lyrics, the only problem is i have no freaking idea to actually make like the sounds with garageband, but now, we'll just have to see how well i work on garageband now. i hope i can do well...

[Wowurstupid]

now all i gotta do is figure out how to save it and use it as a ringtone

[timlonggone]

How do I connect sections
Section A to section B ect...

[BlackburnBigdragon]

And of course, search up and read that manual. There's so much in there that it's a must to read to make heads or tails of 80% of the stuff. The only thing that really screws me up is the use of symbols for every menu and a lot of the editing techniques are.. clunky. But for a functioning recording studio on my phone that's pretty much freeware, I'm not going to complain too much. But really, read that manual. It looks daunting to read, and the way it's formatted online is kind of awkward with it's links all over the place, but it actually doesn't take that long and it's a must read with this powerful music maker.

Brilliant tutorial mate, thank you from Australia! I'm a budding YouTuber and was wondering how you circle zoomed onto specific parts of the screen? Any help would be wonderful.
