Garageband Legacy Presets

I don't think its very creative to use presets but at the same time, people have been using computers to make music for years now. Its no need to act surprised about it. If he used Garageband presets, then I'd call him the 'smart one' because he's the one that probably got 5 or 6 figures for the track. These cats are just trying to get paid. GarageBand Essential Tutorial & Workflow This tutorial covers the basics behind GarageBand’s functionality and Digital Audio. It shows you how to get things up and running while learning some fundamentals of the digital recording process. Topics include: 1. Creating a New Project 2. Creating a New Track 3. Working with Loops 4.

I thought it would be good to cover some GarageBand basics. In this post, I’ll discuss the GarageBand “Master Track” tab. In the Master Track tab you can access the following: project settings (key, time signature and tempo), Track Effects (Reverb and Echo) and Master Track effects (such as EQ and compression). You can also access ready-made presets and save your own.

Note: To access the track info pane, press Command + I.

At the bottom of the Master Track tab is an area where you can set your projects settings for tempo, key signature (including the ability to specify major or minor key) and time signature.
Note: this information can also be set in the LCD display when it’s set to “project” mode.

Master Effects Section

In GarageBand 11 there are 4 slots in this section. The 1st slot is typically empty allowing you to add either GarageBand or 3rd party effects such as Amplitube. The other slots typically have an EQ, Compressor and the “Ducker” (used for making voiceovers).

Compressor: In GarageBand 11 you only have access to the on/off switch on top and a long list of presets to choose from in the dropdown box below.

Ducker: The “Ducker” is used in making podcasts or voiceover tracks. Essentially, it automatically lowers the volume of one or more tracks whenever you’re speaking. For details, see the GarageBand help section entitled “Duck Backing Tracks”.

Saving Your Master Effect Settings

In the lower right side of the master track info pane you’ll see an option to “save master”. Click the button, name your preset and click “save”.

Note: you may get an error warning you that your preset will be hidden. If so, make sure you’ve selected either “my settings” or “show all” from the dropdown box in the “browse” tab of the master track info pane.
