![]() I don’t think Radiohead is going to be tracking guitars with GarageBand anytime soon, but with a little know-how (i.e. And like GarageBand’s virtual drummer, the DAW’s Amp Designer plugin allows a shocking degree of granularity, letting musicians choose their model, amp, and cabinet and (naturally) letting them pull open their given stack and fine-adjust things like gain, bass, treble, reverb and more. For all the guitarists out there, GarageBand in its current form offers a more than healthy array of amp simulators that bring your direct-in guitar or bass to life. Maybe you’re a talented percussionist who doesn’t need GarageBand’s virtual drummer telling you what to do, but if you’re me - a helpless guitarist who just knows what he wants to hear - then the sophisticated hand-holding is basically a godsend.Īnd it’s not all about drumming. Sliding the dot inside the matrix (a rectangular grid) adjusts the four parameters - simple, soft, complex, and loud - and allows you to hear in real-time how your tweaks are shifting what your virtual drummer plays. Photograph by James Peroįrom there, you can subtly tweak your drums further with an adjustable matrix if you’re not satisfied with the first iteration. GarageBand’s virtual drummer is a game-changer for anyone lacking in the programmed drums department. Options to tweak your drums include selecting a style/genre you want your drummer to play in (think “alternative” or “hip-hop”) and even get as granular as sub-genre (think “Indie Rock” or “Garage Rock.”) Instead of the old-school Apple Loop style of dragging and dropping your drums into a track and having to deal with whatever the pre-recorded loop throws (or doesn’t throw) your way, GarageBand’s virtual drummer lets you select a wide variety of parameters. The best part about GarageBand’s virtual drummer is that the convenience doesn’t necessarily come at the cost of quality or customization. And if, like me, you’re just demoing tracks that you intend to record with more professionalism later on, finding a drummer and then recording those drums in a way that doesn’t suck is a tall order. Anyone recording rock music knows that tracking drums can be a herculean task. One very notable change - if you haven’t used GarageBand in a while like me - is the inclusion of one of Logic’s best features, the virtual drummer. ![]() And automation! Never discount the beauty of being able to automate volume for track fade-ins and fade-outs. Photograph by James PeroĪnd then you’ve got a fairly generous array of software instruments, which - as a snob of VSTs and synths myself - aren’t the best, most original, digital instruments in the world, but have improved over the years to deliver something close to serviceable. Hipster apartment not required to make great music with GarageBand. For the latter, I connect my guitar via 1/4-inch cable to a PreSonus Studio 24c audio interface that links to my MacBook Pro through USB. You, of course, have the ability to slot in live sounds recorded through a microphone, or you can go direct-in with an instrument of your choice. Inside, the interface is as simple as it’s always been - a kind of modular and rectangular consensus of how any modern music production software should look.īut once you start peeling back layers of the GarageBand onion, you begin to see just how much functionality is hidden in that simple form. The last major update (not counting minor bug fixes) to GarageBand for the Mac was in 2013, but you wouldn’t know it when you fire up Apple’s iconic DAW, short for Digital Audio Workstation. And let me tell you, I was shocked to discover what exists inside that guitar-shaped icon today. But when I decided this year to start recording music again, I went back to my roots back to my parents’ basement back to GarageBand. It was, for me at the time, an Apple-made music revolution.Īs I moved beyond my teenage angst, I naturally moved on from GarageBand as well, transitioning to other digital audio workstations - Fruity Loops (later FL Studio) and then to Reason and eventually Logic. It was an idea that I - an angsty teenager with too few friends and too little confidence to start a band - could listen back to. It had pre-recorded drums (shout out to Apple Loops) it had a real direct-in guitar with digital distortion and naturally a guitar solo. But more important than its quality, was another, more meta factor: it existed. That’s to say it was redundant, unoriginal, incomplete, and not at all ready to be released unto the world. It was what real heads in the music-making biz call. I still remember the first song I made with GarageBand.

The celery and lily root dish was delicious, but those rascals are slippery. ![]() Anyway, I passed the tea ceremony test, but when the meal started, one small course at a time, the drama was building.

But if I got the knuckles from about four or five chickens on my plate, who got the rest of the chicken? You know, the edible parts? Did they say in the kitchen, “American at table four. My question is this: Who gets the meat? Sure, they take a chicken in one hand they take a cleaver in the other hand, and then chop, chop, chop, with no thought of carving “pieces” of chicken. Occasionally, there is a slight hint of a sliver of meat that they did not pick from the bone before serving, but that was rare.

The New York Times and New York Post have reported that part of the investigation involves examining whether Adams inappropriately tried to help the government of Turkey get city approval to open a 35-story skyscraper housing diplomatic facilities in 2021, despite concerns about the tower's fire safety systems.Īdams has sidestepped questions about the FBI investigation but has maintained he did nothing wrong.In a strange way, this is a follow-up to the last post, in that I have had great experiences in foreign lands while dining, and I have had some odd experiences, not necessarily disasters, but…įirst, in five trips to P. The filing comes as Adams has been dogged by an FBI investigation into his 2021 campaign that prompted agents to seize his phones and raid the home of his chief campaign fundraiser. Over the past year, the act has led to more than 2,500 lawsuits, including cases against former President Donald Trump, hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and comedian and actor Russell Brand. The law cleared the way for a wave of lawsuits against famous men accused of sexual misconduct, with a slew of cases coming in the final weeks before it was set to expire. The suit against Adams was filed just before the window to bring cases under the law was scheduled to close after Thanksgiving. The summons was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special New York law that created a year-long suspension of the usual time limit to sue over an alleged sexual assault.
