Well I picked up this macbook pro about 6 months ago, and discovered this cool thing called garage band,,, little did I know what it was. Recently I went out and bought me a gibson les paul, figured id start recording again... Well lucky me I got garage band. I have played with it and watched plenty of videos on you tube and the rest of the internet.
My problem is simple im a bit of a newbie. I am used to things like a vs840 roland record studio, and so on fostec 8 tracks and such. Well I have figured how to record my guitar and nice clean sound, on this garage band. Now i want to actually build some songs, and im trying to lay down a bass track some drums and a saxiphone, to go with my blues guitar lead and vocals. I have found many bass lines and drum tracks loops and what not, however i do not want to use existing stuff, they are well not my style.
What i require is a bit of direction. I have found a piano type keyboard which i can mouse click and get some piano sax or drum sounds, depending however i would like to drag and drop the note in a template so i can place the sound i want as if i was writing on a musical sheet. How do I go about making my own bass line and or drum track instead of using the existing loops?
Any and all help is appreciated and I thank everyone in advance. If you could even guide me to some tutorials / how to's / manuals or such I would appreciate it greatly. Once again thanks in advance.
