    I cannot express my gratitude enough. I spent days on CZcams searching for a tutorial like this to make the most out of my new MPK and Garageband. This simple yet magical guide is exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you immensely, my friend!

      That’s exciting man! I’m actually trying to get better at teaching so I can start helping people learn how to loop.
      Would you be interested in a few lessons when you get your keyboard? They would be free of charge since I have no experience, but it would really help me if I could get some experience teaching students!
      Feel free to email me if you’re keen. Thanks for the support man!

    Ashley, thanks for posting these great pieces of music :-) Just bought my son a MPK mini, but we are struggling to find the loop mode where it continues to play the loop from the MIDI controller. Could you probably give us a short tutorial on HOW you do it? Thanks in advance!

    • @AshleySmithh
      @AshleySmithh  Před 2 lety

      Hey André thats good to hear, I wish I had one of these keyboards when I was a kid! Are you using the MPK mini with a mac? I have all notifications off for youtube, so my email is asmithbeats@gmail.com if you want to email me. I'll try my best to help out but we can jump on a call to figure things out if needed. I know it can be a pain when things aren't working so just let me know!

  • @Pakitorocker
    @Pakitorocker Před rokem

    This sounds amazing man. One question, are you quantizing your drums? Because if you're not you really have good timing. I'm trying to loop in Garageband as well but always end up with some notes a bit off timing, seems like there's no way to auto-quantize a track as soon as you finish recording while keep playing the loop
