Garageband For Mac 10.3.5

GarageBand is a line of digital audio workstations for macOS and iOS devices that allows users to create music or podcasts. It is developed and sold by Apple for macOS and is part of the iLife software suite. Its music creation and podcast system enable users to create multiple tracks with pre-made MIDI keyboards, pre-made loops, an array of various instrumental effects, and voice recordings.

GarageBand offers a mobile version of Apple’s powerful iWork music creation tool, with only a handful of drawbacks to what is otherwise a powerful, intuitive tool. More powerful than many beginner tools but not nearly as powerful as some of the most robust tools on the market, This is a perfect entry-level tool for someone interested in multi-track recording or digital composition on a mobile device.

It offers numerous options when first starting. From keyboards to drums, to sampling and a number of presets that make it easy to create fun effects without having to play with the controls too much, has a lot to play with. It operates only in landscape mode and some tools are better on the Mac–especially the keyboard interface–but many options like the amplifier option, recording tools, and samplers are very well crafted and perfectly easy to use, even for those with no experience creating music. Multitrack recording is another very useful tool here, and despite the resources, this app must demand, it ran smoothly in every test we developed for it, from an eight-track recording to multiple voice inputs and three- to five-minute audio recordings being edited onscreen. Now, you can also have Garageband on Windows Pc.

GarageBand For Mac Music Creation Software Features 

Audio recording

GarageBand is a digital audio workstation (DAW) and music sequencer that can record and playback multiple tracks of audio. Built-in audio filters that use the AU (audio unit) standard allow the user to enhance the audio track with various effects, including reverb, echo, and distortion amongst others. It also offers the ability to record at both 16-bit and 24-bit Audio Resolution, but at a fixed sample rate of 44.1 kHz. An included tuning system helps with pitch correction and can effectively imitate the Auto-Tune effect when tuned to the maximum level. It also has a large array of preset effects to choose from, with an option to create your own effects.

GarageBand Virtual software instruments

The software includes a large selection of realistic, sampled instruments and software modeled synthesizers. These can be used to create original compositions or play music live through the use of a USB MIDI keyboard connected to the computer. An on-screen virtual keyboard is also available as well as using a standard QWERTY keyboard with the “musical typing” feature. The synthesizers were broken into two groups: [virtual] analog and digital. Each synthesizer has a wide variety of adjustable parameters, including richness, glide, cut off, standard attack, decay, sustain, and release; these allow for a wide array of sound creation.

GarageBand Guitar features

In addition to the standard tracks, It allows for guitar-specific tracks that can use a variety of simulated amplifiers, stompboxes, and effects processors. These imitate popular hardware from companies including Marshall Amplification, Orange Music Electronic Company, and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Up to five simulated effects can be layered on top of the virtual amplifiers, which feature adjustable parameters including tone, reverb, and volume. Guitars can be connected to Macs using the built-in input (requires hardware that can produce a standard stereo signal using a 3.5mm output) or a USB interface.

MIDI editing

GarageBand can import MIDI files and offers piano roll or notation-style editing and playback. By complying with the MIDI Standard, a user can edit many different aspects of a recorded note, including pitch, velocity, and duration. Pitch was settable to 1/128 of a semitone, on a scale of 0–127 (sometimes described on a scale of 1–128 for clarity). Velocity, which determines amplitude (volume), can be set and adjusted on a scale of 0–127. Note duration can be adjusted manually via the piano roll or in the score view. Note rhythms can be played via the software instruments, or created in the piano roll environment; rhythm correction is also included to lock notes to any time signature subdivision. It also offers global editing capabilities to MIDI information with Enhanced Timing, also known as Quantizing.

Music lessons

A new feature included with GarageBand ’09 and later is the ability to download pre-recorded music lessons from GarageBand’s Lesson Store for guitar and piano. There are two types of lessons available in the Lesson Store: Basic Lessons, which are a free download, and Artist Lessons, which a user must purchase. The first Basic Lessons for both guitar and piano are included with this app. In GarageBand 10, many sounds (aka patches, which Apple refers to as ‘audio units’) which are listed within the sound library are dimmed and unusable until the user pays an additional fee which allows the utilization of those sounds, bundled with the guitar and piano lessons.

Additional audio loops

The program includes an extensive array of pre-made audio loops to choose from with an option to import custom sound loops and an additional loop pack that is purchasable via the App Store. All loops have an edit and effects option.

Share your music with the world

When you finish your project, you can share it to iTunes, to iCloud, or to SoundCloud; share it using AirDrop or using MailDrop export it to disk, or burn it to a CD. You can also create an iPhone ringtone from a template or from an existing project.

The recording can be mixed and mastered: you can use up to 255 tracks for the same song, change the audio’s timing, adjust the rhythm, and much more. The final result can be sent to your iTunes library or you can upload it directly to Soundcloud.

To make sure you always have access to your projects, you can choose to sync them to your iCloud account: as a result, you will be able to continue working on your songs on your iOS device (you must install the GarageBand for iOS app).

GarageBand for music creation provides you with a plethora of audio editing tools that help you record tracks in no time and generate high-quality audio content using your Mac.
