9 Simple Steps to Make a Beat On Garageband

When it comes to creating beats in Garageband it is fairly simple to do. Garageband gives you the opportunity to make your beats by using some of their pre-recorded sound samples. What I like about their software the most is that you don't need to know much at all to get started. All you have to do is start.

Can I Make Beats On Garageband

The short and simple answer is, yes. You can make your very own beats and quite easily and below I give 9 simple steps that you can start today to create your music.

1.

Create a new GarageBand job. Click the GarageBand symbol to open up the file, choose "File" from the menu bar and pick "New" from the fall menu.

2.

Make sure you set a tempo for teh pace you want your beat to play at. In the "New Project" option that shows up, get in a tempo between 40-240 beats per minute. This will certainly depend on whether you want a quick or slow song. For a slower song, attempt a tempo in at a max of 110 beat per minute and a low of 80 bpm. For a fast song, attempt a pace in between 140 and 170 bpm.

3.

Produce an audio track. To do this action so, select the "+" button in the left bottom corner of the GarageBand page. The screen will trigger you to choose the kind of track you desire, so choose "Real Instrument Track" from the options supplied.

4.

Select the "Loop Browser" option and that will give you access to all your loops. It appears like a blue eye and shows up straight to the right of the "+" button. Right after you select the tab, you will see options for various kinds of loops in the bottom part of your window.

5.

Go into and seaerch the words "hip hop" in the search box. You will then see a lineup of every offered hip-hop drum loop and bass loop offered in the library for all your loops.

6.

All you have to do is click each loop once and you can listen to it and then decide which loops you want to use for your beat.

7.

Click among your desired loops and drag it using your mouse to the beginning of your track.

8.

Repeat your loop as lot of times as required. Hover your mouse over the ideal edge of the loop area in the track till an arrow appears in the shape of a circle. Then click your mouse and drag your audio area to the right. All you have to do is keep moving it until you desire for your loop to come to an end.

9.

Add a new audio track then add the second loop right underneath your initial loop. Your audio recordings lap over each other and that will create a richer customized beat. For example, you might use a drum loop for track number 1 and then a bass loop on track number 2, providing you a complete drum and bass beat that you can utilize for your rap.

Just add more tracks as you need them. But just note that if you add to many layers that could possibly create sonic crowding impact, but including 2 or 3 can add intricacy and depth to your beat. Make sure you listen to all the loops and not just the rap ones because you never know what may inspire you.
