These videos will walk you through 4 types of parallel processing you can do with your GarageBand drums to add more space, punch, and color. In part 2, we are using parallel compression to add punch to your drums.

    Wow! My drums sound so much better. I don’t have the Mac vs of GB but could achieve similar results with your tips albeit less precise or scientific. Been debating whether or not to get a Mac for the mixing part but trying to keep it super simple.

  • @toddcollins6746
    @toddcollins6746 Před rokem +1

    Colin - went back and looked for this video after reading your drum guide. You are not kidding when you say “change the world!” Wow! You said this is kind of pointless for cymbals. So when you do this in practice are you applying to the room drums and the individually separated tracks - like bass, snare, toms? Just curious if there is a best practice or it’s just subjective? Thx!

  • @DavidVane
    @DavidVane Před 2 lety +4

    Great session as usual Colin. Quick Question - one we are happy with the drums should we export as a wav and import back into the piece or stay with midi files??

    • @officiallyjacobv

      Did you ever figure this out? It makes sense to bounce them all down but I’m not sure.

    @user-yi3gx8qu9r Před rokem

    hi, I'm having trouble doing this. when I turn on the compressor for pcom its also turning on the compressor for the main drum track. not sure why they are being duplicated. love the channel! Also wanted to see if you are releasing the song Stranded and Expanded. good tune!

  • @ryanmiller4217
    @ryanmiller4217 Před 3 lety

    Dude, this is awesome! I couldn’t help but notice that you used it w a single drum track, would it be workable if you combined this trick with your other trick of separating the drums?

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety

      Absolutely! Combining these two would give you a lot of control

    Does this also work on IOS version of GarageBand? If so, would be great to know how to pull everything up without command keys.

  • @MarioBeatle120

    does this process also work with drum tracks you record with a midi keyboard?

    Hey Colin, looks like you’re just getting this channel started - wish you well with that. Great info here. I’m just trying out GB after working with Cakewalk a little on a computer that just died. Thought I’d give GB a try while it’s getting fixed and just loving it - have no idea why I didn’t check it out earlier. Anyway, liked, sub’d, all that stuff ... will keep an eye out for other uploads from you.

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety

      Thanks, Reginald! When I first came back to GB after years of working in Pro Tools and Ableton, I was blown away... for FREE?

    • @reginaldworthington7558
      @reginaldworthington7558 Před 3 lety

      The Band Guide yep, if Apple keeps this up it begins to help justify the premium price of their hardware doesn’t it? Cakewalk by BandLab is now free as well and a really powerful full featured DAW. So I’m thinking when I get it up and running again I may try building some tracks in GB and then exporting stems and doing the mixing there where I have a bit more to work with. Let’s see - will try a mix on the iPad first, then export and mix on the desktop, then compare the two tracks to see which one pops. Cheers.

  • @jimhebbe5553
    @jimhebbe5553 Před 3 lety +1

    Where does this fit in the 6 steps of mastering that you have introduced?
    I assume these "supplement tracks" should be created and in place before you start your "static mix" (step one).

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety +2

      Great question, Jim! I would typically do this before starting the static mix and treat them as if they are any other tracks in the mix!

  • @steezfrank6429
    @steezfrank6429 Před 3 lety

    can you make a video for parrallel compression for vocals?

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety +1

      Absolutely! I just duplicate the vocal track with the same EQ. It can be really helpful in a dense mix or rap vocals to help blend super consistent volume/tone from the compressed track with the dynamic uncompressed track

    Hello. Thank you for all videos. Is it possible to export/ bounce the song and see the audiowawes as a steriotrack on the mastertrack??( Do i have to inport it again??
    Mvh Håkan

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety

      Great question! That's exactly right- if you export it, you'll just have to drag it back into the session.

    • @hakanmaas5284
      @hakanmaas5284 Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks. About mixing😁 you say mix
      With only volyme and pan. If i use the guitarsounds in Gb should i turn of the amp and pedals when i mix??
      And the drums allso have preset plugs. Turn them of??? Or do you just mean, no more plugs and effects.
      Mvh Håkan

  • @Theactivepsychos
    @Theactivepsychos Před 3 lety

    EDIT. Its die to the drum track bass snare following a particular instrument. I think.
    A weird thing happening when I copy the drum regions from a virtual player into a drum track is that they are not aligned exactly. I'm trying to work out of its swing or just out of time.

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  Před 3 lety

      Hmmmm. Are they actually off alignment (can you see it on the grid)? If not, it might be something with CPU latency. 🤔 I’ve not heard of anyone running into that issue but it’s definitely possible

    • @Theactivepsychos
      @Theactivepsychos Před 3 lety +1

      @@TheBandGuide I don't know what you mean. The dragged automatic drummer is rendered to a midi region and during that the drum track changes timing. But I'm not lied up enough to know if it's out of time, removed the swing or something else. I'm gonna have a sit later to look at it.

  • @ianhinrichsendrummer2113

    On ios all the kits sound terrible, even with the right amount of compression, and I've been a drummer for 48 years. They're not good sounding drums at all, I don't know about the desktop kits, I don't have a MacBook, but if your source is crummy to start with, then there's not much you can do. Sure some compression can tighten them up, but they've just been very badly put together. Apple should really hire someone who knows what they're doing. I actually use some of the kits on Caustic 3 and import the track into GB, but it's a hassle.
