You can use multiple plug-ins on each individual track and change the order in which they affect the sound. Bitcrusher: A bitcrusher creates distortion by reducing the sampling rate and bit depth of the signal. The result is a lo-fi digital sound similar to old video games or drum machines. Compressor: A compressor adjusts the volume of the sound to smooth out sudden level changes. Compressors can add punch and definition to a track making it stand out from the rest of the mix.
Delay: Delay effect repeats a sound like an echo. It can add a subtle sense of space to a sound, or create the impression that a voice or an instrument is in a large room or cavern. EQ: EQ short for equalization lets you change the level of selected frequencies in a sound. You can use EQ to make both subtle and dramatic changes to your songs.
Modulation: Modulation effects, such as chorus, flanger, and phaser, repeat the sound along with the original, but they shift or modulate the repeated sound during playback. The result is often a shimmery or swirly effect on voices and instruments. Reverb: Reverb simulates the natural reflections of a sound in a surrounding space. It can add definition and presence to voices and instruments, add ambience to a sound, or simulate different rooms and other acoustic environments.
Tremolo: Tremolo raises and lowers the volume of a sound at regular intervals, creating a wobble effect. The Apple designers love simple and clear user interfaces, that do not distract newbies by offering features they will never use. The same goes for the documentation. This way I can always see, if a panel is too small and needs scrolling to reveal all hidden treasures.
Also, some menus may change, if you hold down the options key and reveal more items. Jan 27, PM. Page content loaded. Jan 26, PM. You can get the JamPacks by purchasing MainStage 3 and letting it install the additional content. Open the smart controls for the track, then the Info panel, click an empty brick in the plug-in section. Thanks Leonie, I never would have found any of those controls. I'm guessing this app is intended for audio noobs like me, so I don't understand why Apple offers such minimal user guidance.
They barely touch on the various features. This shouldn't be like some role playing game where you explore an alt universe. The most basic and fundamental component of mixing a song is to control the individual track levels. Before you get into any further effects and mixing, you should spend some time making sure all of your levels are set so that everything is audible, nothing is too loud or too quiet, and there is a nice even balance between all of your tracks.
This may be due to inconsistencies in recording levels, or it may be that a vocal track needs to be a bit louder during more densely packed parts of the arrangement. The yellow line that appears on your audio track represents the volume of that track. Click anywhere on the line to create a node, and click and drag to create different levels in different places, like this:.
Hit the A key to hide the automation lanes again. This allows you to position each track anywhere within the stereo spectrum, from left to right. For example, you might have a main vocal in the center, with two backing vocal tracks panned hard left and right for a thick, wide, and lush vocal effect. You can see how this could become frustrating when vocal sibilance gets out of control. Find an overly sibilant part of your voice recording, and adjust the Frequency and Suppression controls until you get the desired result.
Plugins are little tools that you can apply to a track to change the sound of your recording, and they can range from pretty subtle to balls-to-the-wall sonic differences. By default, the Compressor that is loaded on your track is switched off. Hit the toggle to activate it, and use the Amount knob to determine the amount duh of compression applied. Compressors work on the dynamic range of your vocal track, which is the difference between the loudest and quietest part of the signal.
They allow you to control the high, mid, and low range frequencies on your vocal track, making it darker or bright, adding presence, or controlling for nasality. The High end on the GarageBand EQ can be used to add a little more air to a vocal track, whereas the mid-range control can be used to remove nasal overtones, or add a little extra presence and bite to a track. These are two different styles, with the Ambience effect offering the sound of a smaller room and the Reverb send offering a bigger room sound.
You might like to combine them both, or play around with a bit of automation for some really creative effects. There are a bunch of different delay plugins in GarageBand, each offering a slightly different take on the effect. You might like to automate the delay send to only hit the ends of each vocal line, or perhaps set a really short slapback style delay and use it throughout.
