How to use non-destructive editing in GarageBand iOS

January 31, 2019 Pete Johns Leave a comment

One of the best features of GarageBand iPhone and GarageBand iPad (and many other DAWs for that matter), is something called non-destructive editing.

What non-destructive editing allows you to do is retrieve parts of a track that have been trimmed or even deleted by adjusting the in and out points of a piece of audio.

In this video I show you how I used non-destructive editing when mixing my songs in GarageBand iOS.

DistroKid – how long does it take to release?

DistroKid – how long does it take to release?

My new single “Six and Eight” has finally been released and is available now on all the usual streaming platforms.

I uploaded and released using the very cool DistroKid platform in a previous video which you can check out here – https://youtu.be/o0ELkDR80QE

In this video, I return to see exactly how long it took to be released to Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and YouTube. Keep in mind that your mileage may indeed vary, and there are a number of factors which influence how long it takes for your song to be released, which I cover in this video.

Recording a punk song on an iPhone using GarageBand iOS

Recording a punk song on an iPhone using GarageBand iOS

It’s time to put the acoustic guitar away and start shredding on some punk rock guitar.

As usual, I’ll be recording in GarageBand iPhone and getting the initial tracks down for a new punk rock song I’m working on, all about… goats?

How to use custom and multiple time signatures in GarageBand iOS

January 28, 2019 Pete Johns Leave a comment

How to use multiple and different time signatures in GarageBand iOS

GarageBand iPhone and GarageBand iPad only allow you to use 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures by default.

So what if you want to use a more exotic time signature like 9/8 or 5/4? Well, it takes some extra effort, but it can be done by making your own metronome (click track) in GarageBand iOS.

Recording your own metronome is a simple process. All you need to do is determine how many bars and what time signature you want to use, and then record a drum beat with the desired pattern.

Using multiple time signatures is also quite easy. Simply record a second section of drums using another time signature.

LYRICS

Mother told me
“Son you better dance”
While you’ve got the chance
And half the talent

But I would rather
Sit and play with toys
And hang out with the boys
And snow some trouble

So she dragged me away
And the while trying to say
Son there’ll be time for all that, you better start dancing

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re
Making the most of each rhyme
I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re
Dancing in six and eight time

Now I found a reason I should dance
And there would be romance around the corner
Ten years later we would be as one
A different kind of fun but one that’s lasting
Work and mortgage and kids
Wouldn’t change it for quids
Only wish there was more time, to go dancing

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re
Making the most of each rhyme
I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re
Dancing in six and eight time

Now we’re older time is moving on
Like a distant song you don’t remember
But I know one thing that will never fade
The memories we made will last forever
And my mother was right
And to my delight
Now I can pass on her words to the next generation

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re
Making the most of each rhyme
I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re
Dancing in six and eight time

Time after time we are standing in line and we’re
Making the most of each rhyme
I’m happy to see that you’re waltzing with me and we’re
Dancing in six and eight time
Yes, we’re dancing in six and eight time
We’re dancing in six and eight time
We’re dancing in six and eight time
We’re dancing in six and eight time

How to export stems (individual tracks) in GarageBand iOS

How to export stems (individual tracks) in GarageBand iOS (iPhone/iPad)

Do you want to share your individual tracks from your GarageBand iPhone or GarageBand iPad?

Perhaps you want to mix your GarageBand iOS tracks in a different DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), or you want to collaborate with another person who is not using GarageBand?

This video is for you!

In this one, I show you two different methods for exporting and saving individual tracks from your GarageBand projects, including a detailed tutorial and example showing both methods.

I then show how these can be zipped up and sent to another user, or transferred to a Mac or PC to be imported in to another DAW, or backed up on a hard drive.

How to master a GarageBand iOS song in the Final Touch app on iPad

How to master a song in the Final Touch app on iPad

In this video, it is finally time to master my song “Six and Eight”, and this time I’ll be using Final Touch, a fantastic mastering app on the iPad.

Covered in this video is the process I use to send my final mix from GarageBand iOS to Final Touch, using another cool app called “AudioShare”.

I then go through the basics of using the Final Touch application and how I approach a mastering session, keeping in mind that the focus is to enhance the song, and “do no damage” to the track.
