It's interesting that when Alchemy was an independent product prior to Apple purchasing the company, it cost $249, which is more than the entire Logic Pro package which now includes Alchemy.
Automation of parameters - turn on Merge Recording and go into record mode over your track and alter the parameters (Transform Pad, Cut Off, Attack, Delays or whatever you want) and that automation will be recorded so when you play the track again it will contain all those movements. A lot of people don't know that you can automate synths in GarageBand iOS by using Merge Recording. Great Video Patrick.
Tickled as requested. As someone still new to this, I knew you swap between the variants for each patch but didn't realise you could move the puck to cover several. That's a cool feature, cheers for highlighting it.
A fun thing to do is to record a few bars of one of the synth sounds then, on playback, use the morph pads to experiment with the different sound variations you can create on that particular synth
I definitely love the alchemy synth..it really makes my guitar tracks stand out more professionally along side the guitar tracks.. I may even try it along side vocals but not as loud for a bit of harmony 🤘..thanks again Patrick
Hi Patrick. Have ever heard of a guy called (on UA-cam) GarageBand Music? He doesn't teach us anything. He just demonstrates his ability and how knowledgeable his is with Garageband. He's been going a while now and he has a remarkable talent.
I owned the original Alchemy synth and bought all the IAP. Then Apple removed it from the store... i was gutted! Then it came out for garageband and I've never use it since. I may return to the garagaband version, but I'm a Cubasis producer. I miss the original Alchemy.
HI Patrick. have you ever downloaded the Tal Noisemaker synth? I can only get as far as the installer and i'm going round in circles with. Do you recognise the problem i'm having....Cheers, Jay
You can use it even in older version of Garageband, trick is to copy correct folders then when you export project from iOS to Mac you will have all the instruments
My Biggest complaints with iOS Garageband: -No MIDI export -No ‘normal’ loop fuction -No automation for AudioUnits and interapp synths -Not being able to put an arpeggio on already written MIDI The only reason for these limitations I can think of is to ‘force’ people to buy a Mac to go full GB or Logic .. bummer
I think the ipad is still better to use as an instrument and not a daw. Not that it wouldnt be possible, but apple just dont really care about musicians, especially on ipad
I have tried to change m track color but when i right click the instrument the assign track color and assign track icon shortcuts don't show up. Is there a way to change the settings so that I can change the color? I mainly want to do that. I use a Mac book.
@@TheGaragebandGuide the button you press to change the sound of a synth or guitar or whatever has vanished my app bugged. I can also not save anymore for some reason I just guess either my phone broke or the app glitched out on my phone
My only frustration is Apple not allowing us to midi learn the knobs. Yes, Steve said all you need is your finger. Apple also provides custom color iDevices. Give us the option. But I digress. One of the first things I was exposed to when I opened GarageBand. Thanks for the reminder as it's been a journey of being distracted with other "shiny" toys.
@@TheGaragebandGuide so excited to get Logic Pro, I’ve been watching videos for weeks in preparation. Any logic videos are appreciated but I know it’s not in the name of the channel 😅

I remember that . Wasn’t it only available in pro tools also ?
@@nickwatland4215 I started in GarageBand which do u recommend me pro tools or logic pro?

Came here for this. Thank you
GarageBand for iOS seems to have everything I need..thank god it’s free

Awesome video. Kudos... you have taught me so much.. many thanks ❤
This is my bread n butter when creating.

Can't say I have, i'll need to check them out!
Great informative video’s, Patrick. Plenty of ‘thumb love down below’from this GB user. 🙂
Thanks - helpful to get into
Can you tell me how to change the brake pads on my 1959 Volkswagen? Thanks 😉
I still maintain my old VST version . I'd hate to lose my soundpacks .
Wise man!
Crucial details 👍
Thanks for this tutorial!
Wish they would make the old sound packs available
I know, it sucks for folks who paid for the packs and now can’t access them.
I’m so excited for this video
I'm excited for you to watch!
Alchemy synth is the bomb.
Yes! 🙌
Hi Patrick, great video, ask, is it possible to import other presets from logic pro alchemy to garageband alchemy?
Mine doesn't have the velocity button next to the mod wheel. How come?
lol Nevermind. It was in the video 30 seconds after I posted the comment. 🤦♂

Does anyone know if Alchemy can be tuned beyond A = 440? I’m rather fond of A = 432.
Wondering if the pitch wheel could do that if it can’t be done otherwise.
Never mind! I think since I haven't updated the computer garage band has not updated.
Hello Sir, i use this app , i cant join to soundcloud , how can i join? thank you
Is all of this available on Garageband for Mac? Some of the sounds featured here are on my GB, but some are not.
Yep, they either come as part of Alchemy itself or as part of a free Sound Pack.

@@TheGaragebandGuide Thank you
Can you connect a midi keyboard to control Alchemy, please?
Absolutely. Just attach it to your iOS device with GarageBand and Alchemy open and you’ll be able to use it right away.

how can i get this on my garageband on macbook?
Powerful
Very!
Awesome!!!
It’s such a great synth!
That's great
I had the iOS version of Alchemy. I was very unhappy when Apple bought the. There’s a lot missing in the GB version.
Can you remember which features are missing?
I have a version on my original iPad, but not my iPad mini 1.
Amazing ^
Is it possible to load it inside AUM? How?
it is not. Please correct me if I am wrong.
For some reasons suddenly my GarageBand decided to throw away the function where I can switch synth wtf…
?

Looks like they butchered the UI :( I have the original from Camel Audio. Great synth.
„Best“…
You don’t agree I presume? What would you consider as the best?

Sadly it is only small piece of original Alchemy…
Logic Pro gets the ‘full’ version unfortunately. This version is still really good though.
