GarageBand : Restore Your Instruments – Q&A #9

GarageBand 10 is now on (at time of writing) version 10.1.6 and as such provides a pretty stable and reliable experience. Mistakes and errors do sometimes happen though, as one of this edition of GarageBand Q&A’s questioners found out.

Both of the questions featured in this edition of GarageBand Q&A came from the /r/GarageBand subreddit. You can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GarageBand/

I've been a musician for longer than I care to remember and though I don't make a living in a recording studio, I have spent the last decade getting to know everything worth knowing about Apple's GarageBand on Mac and iOS!

  3. Your tutorials are great. I have a slightly different question about the mapping of midi drum sounds.
    I have a drum track from iRealPro that i have loaded into garage band. However, iRealPro uses their own mapping of drum sounds.
    I’m trying to find out what the mapping is for the GB drum tracks so I can use your trick of selecting a sound and then remap it (transpose) to the closest drum sound in GB. I tried the trick of copying the drum track to a midi instrument track, but without knowing which sounds are mapped where I’m not sure what I need to alter.
    So the short question is where do I find the midi map for the various drum sounds in GB?

  4. Hi Patrick,
    I’m kinda new to using Garageband but your website and videos look to be exactly the sort of thing I need.

    I’m looking at getting a microphone because the sound I get using the iRig is miles away from what I get out of my Vox amp. I bought a £10 mic recently and it sounds as dreadful as you’d expect. Anyhow, I saw your page on the Samson C01U mic and while this looks to be the way I’m leaning I’m a little nervous that it won’t do the job on distorted guitar (Fuzz) (Most of the videos, comments and reviews I’ve seen seem to be tailored towards podcasting, singing and acoustic guitar).

    Hope you can help.

    Cheers,
    Mark
