hello it's Patrick here from the GarageBandguide.com in this video I'll
show you how to get started with GarageBand sampler
to open the sampler you'll need to open a software instrument track I'll click
the new track icon and select software instrument here get rid of the library
pane and open the smart controls window with the tracks tab selected go down to
the plugins menu and click on the currently loaded software instruments to
open the menu hover over audio unit instruments then Apple and then over
Audio Units sampler before finally clicking stereo this is the sampler
interface and while is easy to be intimidated by all of its controls don't
worry as is actually really simple to set up
head sing any notes here will trigger a default se mueve sound 99% of the time
you'll want to remove this sound from your recordings so you will want to get
rid of it but first let's load up our sample I'm
going to pick a sample from a free sample pack I downloaded from lander
calm that's the online mastering service but you can use sounds that you've
perhaps purchased previously downloaded from another website or even created
yourself in GarageBand I've put a link to this sample pack that I'm using in
this video in the description click on this small cog icon at the bottom of the
sampler window and select add samples you can then choose where you want to
load your samples and from I have the pack that I downloaded saved to my
desktop
you
this one that sounds good to me saw I'll load it up into the sampler
now the sample I've loaded plays alongside the default sane wave sound as
they're both active at the same time to remove the same wave sound select it and
then click on the minus button at the bottom of the sample window now the
sample plays on its own now it's just a case of adding your sample to your
project treat this the same as you would any normal software instruments just set
record and start to playing when ready
and let's listen to that back with the rest of the project it's maybe a bit
outta time so I'll quantize the notes using the quantize function in the
editor window I need to make sure that I quantize the whole track not just that
one region it's almost there it's almost there
I'll have to edit these notes slightly as a couple haven't triggered when I've
played them or they've cut off too early
you can also add third-party instruments and sounds into the sampler they need to
be an either DLS or exs file formats to do this luckily both types are readily
available click on this cog icon at the top of the sample window and select the
file type that you want to load select the file to load again I have this one
saved to my desktop and right I've made a bit of a mistake here you need to
create a new layer and the sampler by clicking the plus icon at the bottom of
the window and then load your new instrument into it
there we go you can now play the contents of that file inside garage
bands sampler there you have it that's everything you needs to get started with
