I have tested all the methods on my windows machine and all of them are working. Don’t get disheartened, I’m going to tell you 4 different methods to download GarageBand on your Windows PC.
You are quipped with the ability to fix rhythm issue or autotune, track and mix your track with instruments, put effects like compression and visual EQ with a click.Ī very common question among Windows users is if there is any scope of Apple releasing a GarageBand version that supports Windows OS? The answer is No. The insanely huge sound library on each instruments can create a huge number of permutation and combination for you to choose from. It comes equipped with 100s of Hip Hop, EDM and Jazz synth sounds, with built-in-lessons for piano and guitar. For example, They have 5 drummer audition to fit everyone’s distinct style. It’s an absolute asset for professionals because of its vast selection of session instruments. And it was mixed and mastered in Garageband.GarageBand for Windows comes with a fully functional and complete sound library that includes voice, presets, and instruments. It might be a bit wonky but I recorded an album in a day on a 4-track, and then a UK label heard it and put out a 7” EP of songs from it. Occasionally I’ll re-amp an organ or synth or something but otherwise I just plug in and record with as little fuss as possible I’ve never bothered with any of the drum samples or virtual instruments in Garageband but only because I play drums anyway and I’ve got all the keyboards I need. Had Logic and rarely used it as it was way more feature packed than I need, and found a lot of it got in the way when all I wanted to record some drums and guitars and bass, etc. I’ll admit I’m biased as I’ve used Garageband since 2018 to make records with and put radio shows together with and I’ve earned actual money from it, despite it being supposedly super basic.
And you can’t argue at the price, if you ready have a Mac that is. Plus its drum samples library is especially good. Sold it to me, although I have since moved on to Cubase, GB is very easy from the get go. Yes he’d obviously done it before, but nevertheless it was very impressive and did look quite easy. Some guy came on stage with a Stratocaster, plugged into an interface and proceeded to put together the basics of a song from scratch with drums and bass keys in half an hour. Just after GarageBand came out I watched a demonstration in a London Apple Store.
Plus an external sound interface will be able to accept full size jacks and probably XLR too so you don't need to faff around with converters I would advise an external USB sound interface of some kind - the built in stuff to most computers is fine for listening to tunes, but not very good for recording with. Would I need anything else to connect - I seem to recall that I just went straight into the sound card before, on a micro jack. I don't think this will happen until the new year, with everything else going on, so sit tight and I'll report back. With that in mind, I may have a go with Reaper, as there is the trial version and see how I get on. I think that is why I was attracted to GB, as all I knew who had tried it, said it was pretty easy to get on with. I had forgotten this but I had Cakewalk YEARS ago, running on Windows 95 or 98 and struggled with that.įrom memory (it was a very long time ago) it certainly was not straightforward and certainly not intuitive.
