I'm not sure who this video is aimed at. It's way too advanced for beginners and presumably those familiar with GB won't need it. Even at 1:39 in Charles (who seems like a lovely guy by the way!) says he is using a drum track. Well that's awesome. but.... - is it a stock track stored in the program? - did you record it yourself? - did you use a proper drum kit? - did you use an electric kit? - did you use a drum machine? - did you use an interface to connect it to your computer/laptop? - or did you use a multi track mixer with a USB port? - if you used a proper drum kit, how many mics did you use? - once you'd set up your drums/drum machine, how did you actually begin recording? - how do you use the program to record tracks? (which bits do you "click" on?) From a novice perspective, all these things need to be addressed before you even begin talking about the things you cover in this tutorial. Also, there's an awful lot of jargon. A lot of terminology that a novice wouldn't be familiar with. The tutorial moves along way too fast and I'm not sure it's helpful. It may even be counter-productive as it may make a novice feel stupid.
I'm a musician/songwriter for decades, but I've never gotten into the tech/gear side of things. I decided to learn to record at home. Starting small, using GB. I'm less afraid of the technology thanks to your quick 10 minute GB overview. Definitely going to watch the full length version and subscribe. Thanks!
obviously no-one can learn GarageBand in 10 minutes but this gives a good perspective of what GarageBand can equip you to do and what all things need to be learnt and practiced...thanks for sharing

ive been wanting to get into music production for years now, but every tutorial ive watched just leaves me more confused and discouraged. now, ive never even LOOKED at garageband in my life and already i feel like i understand something. so thanks mate
I can’t thank you enough for this video! I am a singer-songwriter. I play guitar, but never really play to a click track and every time I open GarageBand I get completely overwhelmed. Decided it’s finally time to face my fears and learn how to use it! Your video was incredibly helpful. I watched it, and immediately went to my computer and made my first electronic song. I appreciate how much you included in such a short video, and I look forward to learning more!
@@typingcat I can only speak for myself. I started writing songs in high school (2005). I would strum a few basic chords, sing my lyrics over them, and record the whole process on a one-track cassette tape recorder, so that I wouldn't forget. Even though technology has advanced a lot since then, my song-writing technique remains essentially the same. Most of the time I write lyrics first, then try to find a melody on guitar or vocals and sing the lyrics in a way that will convey the most emotion. I use a notes app for lyrics, and a one-track voice recorder app on my phone for audio, so that when I have an idea on the go I won't lose it. Singing/writing songs is mostly an emotional outlet for me. Once in a while I play for a live audience, but it is not a career path I am seeking. It's great to write for voice and guitar because then I can actually play my songs for a live audience/unplugged without relying on a track or band. But I have a lot to learn if I am ever going to compose for more instruments/communicate with a band. Learning basic piano now in hopes that it will make it easier to play digital instruments. We shall see! Always interesting to hear about other people's creative process. If you are interested to hear my songs, check out Abbey Hoffman on Spotify or any music platform of your choice.
A crisp and clean intro to Gband. I've watched quite a few tutorials for Gband and this is the one with the most information in the least time. Thanks.
As someone who recently switched to apple already has years of prod on a windows software, this tutorial was INCREDIBLY helpful as I was able to quickly understand terms and methods you touched on. Thank you
I gotta say this gave me the exact information I was looking for. I looked at a few of the comments saying it wasn't helpful to them but here's why It was helpful to me. I have been using Pro Tools for 12 years, Ableton for 2 years and I wanted to help a friend with starting to music with Garageband but I was unfamiliar with the interface. I agree the information is given quickly but it is a well put together tutorial.
As someone with experience with Pro Tools and Ableton, what software would you recommend for beginners like me who want to get into mixing tracks? For me it's not about just putting a track together. I want to be able to creatively deside how I use my EQ, compressor, effects, etc.
@@juriaan6064 that’s a great questions and there’s many good options out there. Years ago when I was first learning, Sonar by Cakewalk is what I used and it’s solid software. Many of my peers used FL Studio at that time but i’d almost recommend you start off on Ableton if you can, they do have a light version which is cheaper and you can always upgrade it later. good luck to you! take advantage of as many tutorials as you can before buying and good luck to you!

Thank you for giving me the courage to try GarageBand again. After 2 hours I lay down the instrumentals to a song I wrote (4 tracks). Is there a way to add a bar in the middle of a song? If so, Do you have a tutorial for that?
As someone with lots of experience with DAWs and just now taking a serious look at using Garageband for future projects - this tutorial was fantastic. Lots of information delivered quickly and directly. Thanks so much for your effort and your time!
Thank you!!! I’ve been using the older version of gb for years (so long that Bowie heard my tracks before he passed - that’s how old) and the new version has lost me. You are helping.
This is what I've been searching for. Under 10 minutes. Then after this I can go to more details. But first I want the basic or learn something first. Thank you so much.
I had a Roland 900 recording deck (lost it in a fire, I lost my Shure mics, too. Bummer) so learned quite a bit but I am really wanting to have a recording device on my computer. A local recording studio suggested Garage Band so I am excited to learn. There's always a bright side to everything. Thanks for the great tutorial(s).
Hello Charles. I am going to use garageband to create background music for a short animated video I'm doing. Opening this powerful app, I didn't know what to do or where to begin! You answered that call because you are a good teacher. Thank you.
I had a go at recording a song using my iPhone and Garageband. The desktop version is definitely easier to get your head around but once you've got the hang of it, it's surprisingly good. I'm kinda shocked at how good songs can turn out using it tbh. This tutorial definitely would have been useful when I first started though!
Sadly, I did not find this helpful, for myself - a complete Beginner. You zip along, at warp-speed, apparently, not realizing, that not all of us take "loops" "quantization" and "midi" as bedrock knowledge. Moving on...
I'm with you here, I had to turn it off after a while as he explains stuff way too fast. It would be much better if he titled this for intermediate but I guess he wouldn't get as many views by doing that!
My husband uses Logic Pro X, but I wanted to do some laptop mixes while I am out and about and decided to use GarageBand. I thought it would work similar to Final Cut Pro X (which I use all the time), but, sadly, it does not. Thanks for clearing up a little of my confusion. I found out that you can't mute regions, but have to put each part on a separate track, in order to control the volume. Is that right? That sounds antiquated..... 😳🙄
@@CharlesCleyn I tried that yesterday and it didn’t seem to work. Almost everywhere I looked, I was advised to drag and drop anything that I wanted to mute onto its own track. 🙄🤷🏽♀️ So that’s what I will be trying today. Thanks for a quick reply. 🙌🏾
So now you talk at what I consider normal speed. Thank god!!!!!!!!!!! On the complete course (which is great) between each word, I wait for the next one. IT TURNED ME CRAZY.
I’ve been called to dive into production. Been writing deep poetry/music w/dance since 14 to this day. Can’t help but In half dream states music comes to me that’s uniquely tailored to my dna. I have to find an easy way to get those sounds captured quickly before I lose them. They’re soooo good. I think I need a team to work with to get out some of these beautiful brilliant visual sounds and visions to make it come to life. I truly believe Pros would appreciate my vision , Imagination and creativity and where it comes form. If I dive into these tools /apps more I Can get it all out. Thank you for your time and service here bro.👊
On my iiPad I recently downloaded the midi file for a song. When I imported it into GarageBand the tracks were allocated to the wrong instruments. The drums midi information is on a synth track. I tried to create a drum track and drag the midi information (in the track.it says drums) into my newly created drum track and it says Drums Track. Drag drum region here. It has a circle with a line through it. How do I change the instrument on an imported midi file or how do I copy the midi information so I can paste it a drum track. Also, it’s not just drums. The bass midi file is on the “drum” track. I have also disables automation on the tracks. Thanks
Heyyy. Love the video btw. I hope all of u guys are doing good. I have been using garageband for a while and only recently started a channel where I have made some songs. Unfortunately my version is very old but I have tried my best. Hopefully if I keep at it I can be as good as you and others. Tell me what u guys think honestly idm. ua-cam.com/video/ej4kvx2flcE/v-deo.html
If you have a melody in your head, is there a way to match chords or a way to make a chordal arrangement for it if you don’t play instruments? Is there an app for that or do any DAW’s help with the process?
I started playing the garage band app during the pandemic I had piano lessons many years ago but wasn’t interested in them so I forgot everything , but I started to play by ear on the app and I don’t read music I just listen to what sounds are good together and I have composed a small tune but when I try to record that’s when all the mistakes happen, I may never go on stage because of stage fright lol 😅 it’s very fun to create your own music, I got to add here that I have found out that after awhile you start to feel the music , this is how to create memory
Thank you! I probably took a good 30 mins to watch this all and take notes, cheers! 😃🙏🏽 I want to make theme music for videos showcasing my SciFi books! 📚
Yea, this is cool. I know the basic buzzwords of audio and recording, and this was super helpful, even to just get me started. Keep doing you. Thank you.
Thank you so much, this was an awesome, digestible video. I really want to get better at producing but I don't want to spend too much yet on an expensive DAW, I'm just getting comfortable with garage band before leveling up to something else. This was very helpful! Thanks :)
I do appreciate the simple explanation of how simple Apple GarageBand is. It gives me more confidence in a good way to record what I love to take my time with when possible for me. Thank you so much!
Too advanced for me, again. No one seems to show a "total absolute beginner" like myself how to get started with this program. I am so uninformed that even when I click to record a simple testing 1-2-3 using my Macbook microphone" I have no idea if it recorded and if so, how to play it back. When I click to play after, there is nothing there. Note: I do have my Macbook Mic and Macbook speakers set for Garage band. If I can't figure out to play back a simple 1-2-3 testing, how am I ever going to progress any further. Yet every single You-tube Garage band tutorial I have seen seems to assume that there is some basic knowledge of how this program works.
A little research is required. It would be beneficial to familiarise yourself with basic concepts on how audio goes in and out of your computer. Familiarise yourself with basic studio recording concepts and terminology. Google terms like MIDI, DAW,. Find a glossary relating to recording studio terms. Also play and have fun. But remember: don't expect to be able make a hit song straight away, it takes time to learn recording concepts and understand the software. Use your brain if you have one.
Hi Charles! Thank you for making these video's! I am a technically challenged individual doing what I can to learn. Unfortunately still confused as I have s Blue yeti Mic and I want to be able to upload a MP3 instrumental track into Garage Band and then record through my Yeti Mic. I think where I got off were some areas that may have just skipped over like input and out put... Would I select input as Yeti Mic and Output as my Blue tooth air Pods? Also I keep testing recording though Mic but can't seem to record my voice over top of the instrumental track... Could you please help me to understand where I am missing a step? Thank you deeply in advance!
Hey Ruthie, does your blue mic back have a USB plugin? If so, then yes. The input is set to the mic. The output should be your headphones like you say. Then your mp3 is on one track. Then you want to add another audio track that will be your singing. Press record and then it should work! Let me know if that helps.
Thanks a lot! Recently downloaded GarageBand and this video was so clear and efficient. I could really see you enjoyed what you were doing and making and that bought a smile to my face. Have a nice day
Yes, you can use the mic in your headphones to record audio it might not be the greatest quality but it will still work and then you can add some effects in garageband to make it sound even better
Excellent video. for the past 3 years, have recorded using my iPhone and now that I have a Mac Pro, it's more difficult for me to learn GarageBand and seems overwhelming with all the features. Will use your tutorials as a basis for learning. Thanks for sharing.
Brooo thank you so much for this well thought out GB tutorial. I just upgraded to using GB Mac from the iOS version and this tutorial has helped save so much time and confusion. I checked out your music also and its dope. You've gained a new UA-cam and Spotify follower. lol
I've watched a number of videos on UA-cam so I'm not a base level beginner with Garage Band. That said, i really liked your presentation. It was brisk-paced and full of good information. You summarized nicely what I need to do to get going and I totally appreciate that. I will check out your other videos. Thanks again.
thanks Mark, if you're just starting out with GB then this video might also be helpful to you as it is SUPER beginner friendly: ua-cam.com/video/RpOfou3K-L8/v-deo.html

It's way too advanced for beginners and presumably those familiar with GB won't need it.
Even at 1:39 in Charles (who seems like a lovely guy by the way!) says he is using a drum track. Well that's awesome. but....
- is it a stock track stored in the program?
- did you record it yourself?
- did you use a proper drum kit?
- did you use an electric kit?
- did you use a drum machine?
- did you use an interface to connect it to your computer/laptop?
- or did you use a multi track mixer with a USB port?
- if you used a proper drum kit, how many mics did you use?
- once you'd set up your drums/drum machine, how did you actually begin recording?
- how do you use the program to record tracks? (which bits do you "click" on?)
From a novice perspective, all these things need to be addressed before you even begin talking about the things you cover in this tutorial.
Also, there's an awful lot of jargon. A lot of terminology that a novice wouldn't be familiar with.
The tutorial moves along way too fast and I'm not sure it's helpful. It may even be counter-productive as it may make a novice feel stupid.
Agreed, not for a beginner, way to fast and skips alot of steps.
It looks like it’s chopped and edited from a longer video

Hey there! I got to about 2:20, then quickly realized that I’m probably going to need the long version. Thanks for this!! 🙂
Too advanced for me, again. No one seems to show a "total absolute beginner" like myself how to get started with this program. I am so uninformed that even when I click to record a simple testing 1-2-3 using my Macbook microphone" I have no idea if it recorded and if so, how to play it back. When I click to play after, there is nothing there. Note: I do have my Macbook Mic and Macbook speakers set for Garage band. If I can't figure out to play back a simple 1-2-3 testing, how am I ever going to progress any further. Yet every single You-tube Garage band tutorial I have seen seems to assume that there is some basic knowledge of how this program works.
Just play around with it
Agreed
Hey Chuck, I recommend you check out this tutorial I've made that breaks it down for the SUPER beginner: ua-cam.com/video/RpOfou3K-L8/v-deo.html
A little research is required. It would be beneficial to familiarise yourself with basic concepts on how audio goes in and out of your computer. Familiarise yourself with basic studio recording concepts and terminology. Google terms like MIDI, DAW,. Find a glossary relating to recording studio terms. Also play and have fun. But remember: don't expect to be able make a hit song straight away, it takes time to learn recording concepts and understand the software. Use your brain if you have one.
@@fabuniverse3908 Thanks for your help, I will apply your suggestions and hopefully become proficient at a basic level. Thanks again...
Thankyou for this video, I learnt how to operate the app and create a song!
Hi Charles! Thank you for making these video's! I am a technically challenged individual doing what I can to learn. Unfortunately still confused as I have s Blue yeti Mic and I want to be able to upload a MP3 instrumental track into Garage Band and then record through my Yeti Mic. I think where I got off were some areas that may have just skipped over like input and out put... Would I select input as Yeti Mic and Output as my Blue tooth air Pods? Also I keep testing recording though Mic but can't seem to record my voice over top of the instrumental track... Could you please help me to understand where I am missing a step? Thank you deeply in advance!
Hey Ruthie, does your blue mic back have a USB plugin? If so, then yes. The input is set to the mic. The output should be your headphones like you say. Then your mp3 is on one track. Then you want to add another audio track that will be your singing. Press record and then it should work! Let me know if that helps.
Simple and to the point explanation, all the extra words and going off track always distracts my adhd mind so thank you for keeping it simple ! 💜
Probably the best tutorial I've ever watched on you tube. Cheers Charles .Thanks
Really appreciate the kind words!
@@CharlesCleyn I just need more RAM now ! :) Would you recommend getting genuine apple RAM or do the competition have good quality alternatives ?
That was a fantastic overview in no time. Thank you for saving me hours of unnecessary blabla!
Ok this is a great video. Thank you for the inspiration. And insight.
Love 💗 and Thank you from India dear. This is my initial time in digital side of music. Helped me a lot. Subscribed and pressed the bell icon as well.
Thanks a lot! Recently downloaded GarageBand and this video was so clear and efficient. I could really see you enjoyed what you were doing and making and that bought a smile to my face. Have a nice day
Thanks Jake! Glad it was helpful to you :)
Would I be able to use my headphones with a mic to record audio? Thanks for the tutorial!
Yes, you can use the mic in your headphones to record audio it might not be the greatest quality but it will still work and then you can add some effects in garageband to make it sound even better
Yes, you can use your headphones WITH a mic at the same time as recording but you'll need an audio interface or a soundcard that has audio in and out.
The most useful 10-min-Tutorial I have seen so far ... loving it, thanks! :)
‼️‼️‼️I love this!
Is there a way to combine several recordings into ONE, so it will layer my own voice singing multiple parts of a song?
Probably a good tutorial for advanced students. Could you recommend a video for beginners ?
yes of course, I recommend this one: ua-cam.com/video/RpOfou3K-L8/v-deo.html
It’s so useful to save as a mp3. thank you so much
Thanks a lot for Sharing you Knowledge!
Personally I like doing loops and screen recording them but you do you
I found this really helpful. I can only learn in small steps. This helped me a lot. Looking forward to more videos. ❤
Your background is perfect
What is the name of the track in the background? I really love it. As well as your intro video. I appreciate the effort, great guide!
Wow, great video!!! Never seen someone who is so informative on so short time! Thanks man
That’s so nice to hear because this is what I’m trying to get across in this video so thanks very much.
Excellent video. for the past 3 years, have recorded using my iPhone and now that I have a Mac Pro, it's more difficult for me to learn GarageBand and seems overwhelming with all the features. Will use your tutorials as a basis for learning. Thanks for sharing.
Really useful. Thanks so much. The journey has started.....
Thanks. I could use all the help I could get. Hopefully I'll have a track in which I'm using more than an Ipad mic real soon

It was brisk-paced and full of good information. You summarized nicely what I need to do to get going and I totally appreciate that.
