Apple Actually IMPROVED GarageBand?

Apple Actually IMPROVED GarageBand?

Apple added a whole host of new stock plugins with new user interfaces. One of these new GarageBand Plugins is not only an absolute game changer, it fixes one of my biggest issues with the App...

Give that like button a wee tickle while you're here, cheers!

NOTE: You need to be running iOS 16 to access the new look versions of these plugins 👍

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

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

[davidroddie]

Great improvement and makes Garage Band an intriguing wee songwriting tool :)

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

[CoachDave]

Anders is always runnin hot! Haha. Great video Patrick. I appreciate the picture`in`picture feature you do.

[MvrK]

FINALLY THE EQ less gooo!...how many years have we been waiting XD

[waynewilczynski]

Patrick, I only use Garageband on my iMac. Can you post the procedure for getting the AU's from ios version to the desktop imac version, please?

[TeddyLeppard]

Geez. Thanks for pointing this out. Had no idea Apple had done this and as usual, they didn't advertise it.

[pastelpatterns]

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

[guitarvirtuoduder]

How can I get my BiasFX 2 to work on GarageBand on my iPad? I’m new to this type of technology for music

[GaryR]

That guitar solo sounded vaguely like a ryhthm from an old Scottish reel!

[thatdudeimaad]

When i go into audio unit extensions, it doesnt seem to show ant extensions there

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.

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

[GaryHubbs]

I credit your aggressive moaning Patrick, well done, treat yourself to a 🍺

[JohnHorneGuitar]

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.
