So here's my question (which might anger GB but that's what they get for only being partially functional): Many folks have said with the right Synth and a little tweaking, you can get any Synth sound you want. Is there anyone wanting to post ways to replicate the sounds of the various Synths inside GarageBand? I actually like the synths in there, and if I could recreate them in a better synth, I would never need to think about GB again. Lord knows I don't need it for the Guitar amp.
Hi NoiseHorse, GB has a pretty diverse set of synths so there's not a simple answer. I'll stick my neck out here and say Synthmaster, even the factory presets will cover most of your needs. It's also a great kicking off point for ideas, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
@Captaintitanic it's a great idea, I am already a chronic Synthmaster maniac. Thanks for your advice. (I wonder if I could sample each synth and then throw them into bs-16i or something?)
What's your favorite Synthmaster pack(s) Doctor?
@JGY dude. I like the factory presets and the Rob Lee volume 1 pack. I could play the presets all the time. We need to get Link onto Synthmaster.
Ahem. In an effort to get this thread back on track...if Synthmaster gets Link I promise to delete GarageBand and forget about it (until it grows up enough to be an input into AB!)
@NoiseHorse Oh. Yes. Synthmaster Link. Not quite Egoist or Samplr (for me, Link-wise), but oh yes all the same.
Another one made yesterday in Garageband iOS, using it as Audiobus output for a plethora of apps. Mixed in AP, hoping someday Apple will make it viable to mix in Garageband itself:
P.S.: forgot to say: also mastered on Auria Pro using the FF plugs.
Just posted this one; made it tuesday and yesterday between recording sessions - it was a hectic pair of days - and mixed and finished it today (in Auria Pro, because Garageband is not suited for mixing yet). The effects for the guitars are pure Garageband iOS though, and I'm finding out the stock amp and stomp simulations are not bad at all (I never really cared for them even in Logic; should reconsider this). Well, here it is:
Have you all a nice weekend!
What's even more annoying is that you can't play the built in instrument sounds with the smart keyboard, only the regular keyboard. If I'm wrong please let me know
No, you can't. If it was that, all instruments would be smart instruments, right?
But it would be nice being able to copy MIDI regions from a smart track to a "dumb" one. Or to convert a drummer region to MIDI and be able to swap the drummer without altering the beat for a different tone.
In the end, Drummer and smart tracks have their shortcomings, but it's better to have them than not, and I wish AP had something even slightly similar.
They should all be smart instruments. We talk a lot about apps that don't play well together. Here's one that doesn't even play well with itself. Blah. It doesn't matter
To each their own, as it's exhaustively said.
Word.
Two steps forward and one step back, but I'm in favor of the two steps forward....
Well you could export the Garageband drummer track to Audioshare then load it in AUM. The AUM channel can then get loaded into an Audiobus input.
I prefer to record one device into the other, and this is where more than one iOS device comes in handy. Live loops has turned out be a bit of a game changer for me because of how I can load up my loops and then play them and record out an arrangement. I never really used garageband for anything prior to this, I always found it felt a bit casual in it's feature set. Currently I use my ipad to run all the good apps and send them to Garageband on my iphone 6 because it has 64Gb of storage (Ipad only has 16). Then, whenever I feel like working on tracks I can pull out my iphone, load up live loops and go nuts. Novations Launchpad app is probably better for triggering loops but the major benefit of Garageband Live Loops is I can record my performance out to a timeline and tweak it further so it's the closest thing to Ableton Live workflow on IOS that I know of.
Now Garageband is notoriously terrible for exporting options but what I like to do is export each individual track (just solo the track or groups of tracks you want exported) directly to Audioshare. Then just move those recordings into Audioshares AUM folder. Takes a few minutes. Run AUM in Audiobus as input and put a mastering app in Audiobus for your output. You can even run four busses of AUM into further FX processing before mastering if you want and create presets within Audiobus for different mastering chains. If you have Audiobus multi-routing you could have each bus get different effects pre-master. AUM has kind of made iOS into the most powerful modular DAW on the planet imo.
In addition to making Garageband available as an Audiobus Input (which would get me to use it a lot more than I do - a LOT!), I could never understand why the guitar input has a whole pile of stomp effects which you can put together and set parameters any way you like, but if you use the Smart Guitar, you are limited to just two preset effects. Yes, I know that you can turn that into an audio track and then apply effects, but come on Apple, the effects are already there, let us use them!
Good point!
P.S.: it would be already a huge improvement if GB could send MIDI data to control IAA and Audiobus instruments connected to it. Instead, they decided to fully support AU now, so I think you'll have to wait for more AU instruments.
Oh, yeah!
...is'nt that we all have some kind of love & hate-relationship with Apple?
We love Appstore, but, why can't we there ask the developers questions about the App we just bought? And, the Devs can answer and comment bad or good recensions?
We love iCloud, but, why wait for almost 64 GB thru the internetbroadband to buy a new iPad and "move in" your everything into the new iPad?
would'nt be much easier to just plug a lightningcable between the old and the new iPad and, a few seconds later everything was ready to go in the new iPad?
I bought a new iPad Pro this weekend, and my Air 2 with 64 GB took almost 32 hours before it came true the internet onto my iPad Pro 128GB... Hmmm...
You can name a lot of other irritating things that Apple refuse to give us, but, in the end, we love our Apple gadget more than our wifes and husbands ;-)
It's too bad GB will likely never get Link support... I could imagine using the Live Loops interface in a live situation.
Be nice if Apple made GB an IAA input, especially if they didn't want to let GB be an input for AudioBus. Considering they implemented IAA(I think?) into IOS. Maybe if we all pelted Apple with emails about it, they may give in?
Why not? They integrated AudioBus!
Well they may not be allowed to by Ableton.
Kinda, but only at the arse-end of the donkey...
True true
I have no inside knowledge but I'd think Ableton would love to have Apple implement Link in GB as it would give Link a huge endorsement. Whether Apple will ever do it is another question.
But Ableton want us to buy live not logic.
True.
