I gotta say your first metal vid from a long time ago is what got me to start doing metal in Garageband (I do thrash though not death). Thanks for the inspiration. :)
Hey dude I really appreciate hearing that, honestly. I might just do a video where I do everything all at once, it’ll be a bit long but it’ll entail the entire process
I use GB to make decent death metal. A tip I have is to use the retro wah guitar for the simple fact you can write like there are more strings (like from 7-9 string guitars) and put the drums behind it. When you finish the song (without changing any of the eq on the drums or guitar), merge ONLY the guitar as a singular track so it can go over a guitar amp. That way if you don’t have the best audio recorder for a personal guitar, it’s the next best thing. NOTE: Make sure to keep a copy of the original with AMP settings from the ‘finished’ version, just in case you wanna fix something with the guitar notes, since you can’t edit it as an audio clip after merging) Hope this might help anyone that wants better guitars! :) (Also, tried this with bass, but there is a slight issue that no compressor or eq settings can fix; a loud click at the start of every bass note in a segment. It’s a personal pet peeve 💀)
@@SUNNYCG62 I’ll make a vid, why not? I work off people requestin’ me to do stuff anyway lol. I’ll include thinking of a riff, as well, also light drumwork.
What if someone used a midi guitar plugged through garage band, but instead of using it to play any instrument through the guitar, they just play the guitar through it
When you add the guitar that has higher notes how do you know how to add lt there? Is it the top notes of the chord? Also when a note for the guitar is between the A and B what is it called since its unnamed. Like when you add those notes above at 2:05 how would I know where to add that to my riff? Thank you.
Yes it’s the second note in a power chord, a power chord consists of essential two notes, in your example A is the pairing note for D to make a power chord, and then the third is the root octave being D again. The unnamed notes are sharp or flat notes, in your example it’s A sharp (A#) or B flat (B♭)
@@Prog_drummer35 a few ways, if you have a guitar you can find the notes from that, you can also use the GarageBand guitar, if you need clarity on what a power chord is I’d suggest a video for that, you can also count how many notes are in between D and A and what that amount is will give you the second note for any note you choose. It also sounds correct, there will be a dissonant incorrect sound to the chord if you placed the second note wrong
When I’m editing what the guitar plays directly (as you’re doing in the video) I experience playback issues in which some notes will be played as muted despite them not being (the bar is not under them). Similarly, when I create a chord by creating 2 or more notes upon playback only one of the notes will be played, and it takes a create deal of fiddling with them on my end to be able to make them play simultaneously. Are these issues unique to me or is this common?
ive been having something similar happening, i have a guitar piece and i tried to put a drum clip right after the guitar piece ends and it ends up muting the drum clip. idk if its the guitar overpowering the drum or what but im tryna figure it out
It’s dumb in order to have both notes ring out you have to first put in the first note, exit the edit option out of the guitar section, re enter the edit option and then add the second note for the power chord and then both will ring out as a chord, and from there it’s easier to just copy and paste that chord so you don’t have to repeating this annoying process haha
At 1:32 you can see me putting a blip on bottom of the screen in the “Mute” column, you use these muting blips to palm mute the notes you need palm muted, you can see me changing the length to fit with how ever long I need a section palm muted for
So it’s weird, the reason why it does chords for one note for C or C# is because your individual note is too long, if you place a note and it’s a chord, then shorten the midi note, delete it, then whenever you place a new note it’ll automatically be the same short length as it was before you deleted it and it’ll make an individual note instead. It’s a bitch idk why it’s like this
@@n7rth_ca Thank you for the answer but I can't find the bar ... I should have said this before but I'm using a Mac instead of an iOS device (garageband should be the same on mac but there's no mute bar :C)

As someone with no musical talent, this tutorial was really useful and taught me the basica of garage band death metal, 👍
Glad to hear it man that’s the goal!

Hey man I really appreciate that!
dude this made my life so much easier, thank you so much man :)
You’re welcome ☺️
This is great, you should do drums next!
I love your videos man and respect how much effort you put into your songs. Can you please make a video on drums next?

@@nathanieldamarelos would love that.
@@nathanieldamarelos That’d be perfect
I give this guy respect for doing this on 10%
Yep. It’s all about GarageBand. That’s how music producers create music themselves.
Yeah dude it’s great for getting your ideas down and professionally recording it later, that way you’re ready to go when you hit the studio
Yeah dude 🤘🤘🤘

OHHHHHH you draw them out, this changes the game for me haha awesome stuff appreciate the tutorial!
I AM FLIPPING OUT I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO PALM MUTE ON IOS THANKS TO THIS VID!¡!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you sir! Was looking for riff inspiration!
how can i add distortion in my own instrument? bass guitar for example, or synthesizer
How do you get to the initial starting point of the video? Like how do I get to where I can do that?
When I’m editing what the guitar plays directly (as you’re doing in the video) I experience playback issues in which some notes will be played as muted despite them not being (the bar is not under them).

Definitely common, it drives me insane
This also happens to me, it’s annoying
How do you get your that part of garage band???
You swipe down from the thin bar at the top with the time lines on it
Or you tap anywhere and then tap edit like he did at the start of this video
For the second line you added to the beginning on the a string when I tried that it doesn't play the notes on d only the top layer
It’s dumb in order to have both notes ring out you have to first put in the first note, exit the edit option out of the guitar section, re enter the edit option and then add the second note for the power chord and then both will ring out as a chord, and from there it’s easier to just copy and paste that chord so you don’t have to repeating this annoying process haha
@@nathanieldamarelosThis is one of the most important comments with regard to GarageBand ios. This info does not exist anywhere else.
Dude the question I have is, are you willing to share some of your drum midi files from your other videos?
I’m gonna turn all five of my GarageBand songs into real tracks and release it as an EP
When I add the mute to the guitare , only one note of the section is muted and the others don’t sound any different
Are you putting mute bars under each note you want to mute?
@@nathanieldamarelos don’t worry I already solved the problem , thank you for answering me
@@KAPTEIN... oh good!
Dude you must be a wizard cuz I could never figure this out.
🧙🏻♂️
How can I palm mute guitar con iPad?
At 1:32 you can see me putting a blip on bottom of the screen in the “Mute” column, you use these muting blips to palm mute the notes you need palm muted, you can see me changing the length to fit with how ever long I need a section palm muted for
I’ve been trying to figure this out all day. Thanks.
Is it possible on iPhone?
How did u get such low notes on the guitar ?
Could we get a drums video next im struggling with making drums 😂🤦🏻♂️
Great to learn tysm!!!!
Of course!! I hope it was helpful as I don’t have the best methods of tutorials except this haha
What guitar settings do you use? I have a radically different sound from yours.
I use the heavy guitar, the drive pedal and I just eq it to sound where I want it
@@nathanieldamarelos Thanks. The problem was that of all three notes, one was playing on top. But now my sound is as cool as yours
how do you have notes lower than d be individual notes instead of chords? cuz anytime i try to do c# or c, they are always a chord
So it’s weird, the reason why it does chords for one note for C or C# is because your individual note is too long, if you place a note and it’s a chord, then shorten the midi note, delete it, then whenever you place a new note it’ll automatically be the same short length as it was before you deleted it and it’ll make an individual note instead. It’s a bitch idk why it’s like this
Also C is the lowest note, any lower and it doesn’t make noise
Thanks.
Which screen recorder & video editor are you using?
My ones as you can see on my channel aren’t that high quality.
I’m just using the screen recording option on my iPhone
Sounds dark. As a death metal fan.. I love it!
how did you put the mute to the guitar?
@@n7rth_ca Thank you for the answer but I can't find the bar ... I should have said this before but I'm using a Mac instead of an iOS device (garageband should be the same on mac but there's no mute bar :C)
Oh my God I figured it out. You just tap on the grey bar under the note you want muted!
It sounds like Despised Icon to me.
What are your settings for it being deeper tho?
You’d of course need to mix the bass guitar along with it
@@nathanieldamarelos ah, is that one of the amps?
Is there a good way to make shreds?
Hell yeah there is! I’ll try and make a vid about it as I’ve yet to incorporate any leads in my songs even tho it’s just as possible
What bpm
thanky ou
Bruv just get a 7 string and play it G that’s what I do
What's the bpm
195
