The most recent release of GarageBand – ’11, makes coming up having a song with out ever laying hands an instrument easy – with Magic GarageBand. This can help you through the process to create an great track for YouTube video clips, ringtones, or your personal music.

 

Here’s precisely how!

 

To begin with, open up GarageBand ’11 and select the Magic GarageBand icon in the left panel. There are eight icons on the right, each one representing a musical genre.

To listen to a track, hover over the icon you want to hear and then click the Preview button that shows up.

Once you’ve selected your favourite musical genre, click the chosen icon and go to the stage. GarageBand will show all of the instruments that have been selected for that certain song.

Once it’s all loaded, hit the play in the bottom of the screen to preview the entire song. Initially, you will see that the front most instrument should be the instrument that you are playing, such as a guitar or perhaps a piano.

 

If you’re not playing an instrument, click it and select the ‘No Instrument button’ at the bottom of the panel, so it will be magically disappear.

At this moment, hover over the other instruments around the Garageband stage, and a spotlight will appear on, as well as the the specific name of the instrument.

Choose an instrument and other options for that particular track will appear at the bottom of the window.

As an example, select the drums and all the other readily available drum kit types will be shown. Just click one of them while the track is playing back and you’ll hear the difference it makes to the overall mix.

It may take a couple of moments for the completely new instrument to to drop into your mix, therefore hold your horses until it transpires.

As soon as you have selected which instruments you wish to hear, it’s time to Open in GarageBand.

Click on the button that says this, along with the full Garageband interface is going to be shown. At this moment, you are able to change the panning, volume, effects and anything else you’d typically do in your Garageband projects.

You possibly can drag the track sections around at the top of the panel, as well, by simply clicking the title bar (Verse, Bridge, Ending, et al.) and moving it to where you wish it to go.

You just produced a song in under 10 minutes! Amazing!

 

Click Share in the toolbar and select how you want to send your magnum opus out to the world. Choose a sharing options to get the song from the editing stage to the final stage, regardless of whether you wish to create a ring tone for your iCell phone or burn the song to a compact disk.
