With the latest release of GarageBand, Apple has finally made it possible to add a drum pad to your GarageBand studio. You can do this by creating a Drum Pad Track and then using the MIDI or audio recording methods to get the sounds you want.
Playing the drums is a great way to create a full-fledged drum track, and this is one of the reasons why we think GarageBand has been such a great addition to the music making toolkit. If you want to get started creating a drum track, you can do so using the information in this article.
Play the GarageBand Drums on iPad
Drums Touch Instrument allows you to play a drum kit by tapping on a drum that appears on the screen. You can record one part of a drum kit from an acoustic or an electronic drum kit.
You can select a specific drum kit by tapping the name of the drum kit at the top of the screen, and then you can select the drum kit you want to play. You can also swipe left or right to switch between different drum kits. You can also move your finger left or right to change the drum kit that you are playing.
Some drums sound different when you tap different parts of them. To find out which sounds they make, look at the Help button. If you tap a different drum and it starts to make different sounds, tap the Info button and the coaching tips will appear. Some drums respond to other gestures, such as tapping them with two fingers to start playing the pattern. Touching and holding a drum with two fingers triggers a pattern that repeats each time you touch it. By moving the distance between the fingers, you can play different repeat patterns.
It is very easy to record the sounds that the drums make on GarageBand. When the playhead comes back from the beginning of the current section, you can record more parts of your song and have them merge with the other parts of the track. You can turn off merging by changing the properties of the track.
Adding Drummer to GarageBand
You can easily add Drummer to your GarageBand project by simply creating a new track. Go to the tab where you add the track. Click New to add a new track. Then, based on the window that pops up, select Drummer.
When you add a new track with drums, GarageBand creates an eight-bar section at the start of your project. When you create a new Drummer track in GarageBand, a new window opens allowing you to add a virtual drummer, as well as a drum kit and a Beat Preset.
Each drummer has his own distinctive style. It might take some time to get to know each of them, so focus on the genre in which they belong. You can always switch between different drummers later on. You can also set the touch sensitivity of the drums to one of four levels. Increasing the touch sensitivity causes hits to sound louder or softer depending on how hard you tap the drums.
