    can garageband on ios freeze a midi track like the desktop version? i can not see how to do it...

    You can tap on the track icon and “merge”. However this is permanent. The midi track is discarded. (GarageBand creates a duplicate pre-merged project as a backup)

    no Link - one of those features that I doubt will ever come.

  • SamuSamu

    Garageband also does 'auto freeze' of tracks (ie. optimising performance) at times to keep the app responsive...
    (Too bad we can't dig into the Garageband .band bundles using the Files.app as this would allow us to dig out the frozen track as an audio-file).

    It could at times be handy to be able to 'render a copy' of a track and put on another track and pass it thru the guitar or vocal effects.

    I'm actually liking the latest update :)

    It’s the little things in gb that make me happy like a timeline line when your are moving your loop around so your not guessing what bar your putting your loop at. One thing I like to do is duplicate and separate the drummer so I can channel each pattern the drummer is using so I can get rid of the drummer track so with the new drum seq it’s so much easier to duplicate.

    I’m not sure I follow what you were saying about duplicating the drummer and separating it. Could you clarify? Just curious

    Thank you. What a shame. I was hoping I could sync some of the Drummer percussion lines. I guess just record to wav loops and import into BM3 or DAW of choice.

    Cheers.

    yep... or Blocs Wave (or Loopy) then you can link that up to other apps and adjust tempo easily.

    If I understand you correctly, you can already do that. You render a copy with the Merge, you want to solo the track you want to render and if you are working in the live loops view you need to make that track show up in the tracks view, copy the midi clip into the tracks view and after the Merge you can copy the audio clip back into the live loops into amp or audio track.

    Too many steps to bounce the audio from live loops, especially since I can not even export the clips to play with in another DAW other than Logic I guess...

    Apple has Live Jam. What you've got to do is buy multiple devices and a multichannel audio interface linked to your MacBook running Logic if you want to "Jam." Works over Bluetooth if I remember correctly.

    Good to know, thanks. I'm keeping it all in iOS at the moment so will stick with loop export.

    Yepp, when you the 'merge' the selected tracks end up as one audio-track and the other tracks are left as is.
    It also creates a new session so after doing multiple merges you end up with a ton of 'sessions' :)

    It's not as smooth as 'render in place' which should be a really handy addition.

    I solo the instruments from the drummer and and add a drum track and follow the drummer pattern and create in midi. It’s now easier with the drum seq. That’s how I separate the sounds so I can fx them also.

    The drummer is awesome in logic cause you can edit the midi on iOS you can’t.

    No no! Ruismaker is still a super nice app that deserves a lot of attention, still...
    Bram Bos has made iOS a greater place to be...

    Apple also included their AU FX thats build into iOS much like whats on Mac OS.

    Interestingly a very good friend of mine and a very good, trained drummer recently told me that ever since he's learned to read and write music, a part of his creative musicality has died.

    Indeed. There is a certain freedom in not knowing what is conventional, and basically working on what sounds good to the individual. Especially with combinations that the more learned would likely not use.

    There is huge potential in the best of both worlds, when you have someone not gifted as a musician, but blessed with an abundant sonic imagination, working with those who can better realise his/her ideas.

    I’m currently reading Springsteen’s autobiography, and he says he never did learn to read music. A lack which doesn’t seem to have held him back. ;)

    Well, I caught him on BBC’s Desert Island Discs podcast. Not as impressive as Liam Gallagher, at least as far as sense of humour goes.

    With all the choice of drummers I cannot find a reggae/dub beat on an acoustic kit. I find this rather strange.

    Just thinking about it it would be awesome if the drum sequencer had a tuner in it for snares and kicks. A release and attack and sustain would be awesome to. Just enough to create a drum sound.

    I've just tried Garageband (never used it for more than 10 minutes) and I've now been trying to add a single crash cymbal at bar 19 for more than one hour, and failed. Thought this would be an obvious thing anyone would want to do.

    (I've tried "Smart Drums", "Beat Sequencer" etc., dragging, tapping and dropping everywhere, and failed miserably.)

    Can anyone enlighten me on the wonders of this "easy to use" box of miracles? :D :D :D (sorry to hijack the thread! Didn't want to start a new one)

    Add a new drum track and hit record press the crash. Stop record and then move it to where ever you want.

    I wanted to add an electronic (909-like) crash, so I couldn't use "Acoustic Drums". It didn't occur to me until 10 seconds ago that I actually have to tap on "More Sounds", and then choose a kit from there to actually get "normal" drum pads that are "simply" playable. I think some people might get stuck on this. :#

    Not sure about stems, but you can export like this-

    Exit your songs by tapping MY SONGS top left.
    Hold your finger down on your song until you see the options bar
    Choose SHARE
    Find the app you went to send it to..

    For stems: Mute all but one track, follow the above, rinse and repeat for each track.
