    Safe solo and “fine automation” just saved a lot of time for me. Thank you for everything you do.

    You can also undo all solo tracks at once by clicking on one with alt key.

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  2 роки тому +1

      wait that’s such a good one! I definitely didn’t know that. I haven’t used many alt key commands in general

    • @ErikArchbold
      @ErikArchbold 4 місяці тому

      Yeah, that's a good one. On a Mac, i think it's the Cmd key (as Alt is only on PC laptops).

  • @johnvender
    @johnvender 2 роки тому +7

    I find command with left or right arrow to zoom in or out sure takes the frustration out of doing it with the top right of the window slider. Not really a trick but it's a great keyboard shortcut.

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  2 роки тому

      Agreed! I also switched to a trackpad exactly for that reason!

    • @guprovasi

      You can also do that with "alt + shift + mouse wheel" I think...

    Great tips! The only one I did know was the last when you drag instead of clicking.. For me the best one was the automation level one that really gives a more precise level.
    A lot of great hidden stuff in Garageband for sure!
    Thanks Boss! 👏

    I record 1 edrum kit to 7 tracks through 1 input. So you can actually record multiple tracks over 1 input!
    Love your videos! Great tips!

      Are you talking about audio or midi signals/tracks?

    • @snijer2
      @snijer2 Рік тому

      @Fastvoice yes that's midi signals. I programmed each track to another signal from the edrum kit. So snare got its own track, kick own track etc. Only picking up the signal from corresponding input.

    • @Fastvoice
      @Fastvoice Рік тому

      @@snijer2 That's no magic and requires no special gear/interface. In the video he was talking about audio tracks, not midi. For simultaneous multitrack audio recording you need different inputs for every track - therefor an interface with multiple audio inputs.

      @@TheBandGuide Took me a while, but now I found out, how to copy a region with the automation track.
      In the MIX menu select: Move track automation with region. (should be like this in English)
      NOW, when you copy the region with alt key, it copies the automation track also!

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  2 роки тому +1

      I do! I’d say recording live drums is one of the main areas Logic helps with. The ability to group tracks together for editing is invaluable when editing multiple drum tracks. And bussing the drums to one aux channel (using a “summing folder”) can be really helpful for mixing
