There's more to GarageBand for iOS than meets the eye (and ear)! If you've explored all it has to offer, now's a good time to add some free sound effects, and Mike Watkinson shows how.

Mar 10, 2020 Built-in soundtrack music and sound effects included with iMovie. Songs you've downloaded to your device in the Music app. Your own custom songs created in an app like GarageBand or custom sound effects stored in iCloud Drive, on your device, or in another location. GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists.

GarageBand for iOS is a great app for creating music, but what if you have a project in mind that requires specific sound effects? Unlike the Mac app, GarageBand for iOS has a limited range of built-in sounds, so this tutorial shows you how to grab what you need from free-to-download websites like freesound.org.

Download

First you will you need an app that lets you download assets (like audio files) from websites. There are plenty that do this as downloading stuff is a popular activity! One that I have stumbled across recently that makes this fairly easy is iDownloads Pro as it has a built-in browser and file manager, and it’s only $0.99!

  1. Let someone else do all of the heavy lifting so that you can focus on the creativity in your beats. These collections of House Samples and Sound Effects for EDM producers let you do just that. From 'House SFX House Samples' Massive build-ups, epic climaxes and euphoric breakdowns – that’s what you get with House.
  2. Jan 03, 2018  FX is a recent GarageBand feature that lets you add live DJ-style effects as your track plays. I has all kinds of fun gimmicks — stutter FX, faux record-scratching, and a filter to make it sound.

GarageBand comes with a wide array of jingles and sound effects to make your podcast pop. This tutorial will show you how to use them in your podcast, and how to do fades and adjust audio levels of different clip segments. Learn to use Garage band like a pro in less than ten minutes with this step by step guide to the program. Create the exact sound effects and beats you've been looking for, right from the comfort of your own home without any expensive classes or equipment.

In the browser of iDownloads, navigate to freesound.org, or your website of choice for downloading free-to-use audio files, and make sure you read the licence agreements carefully—no stealing please!

Freesound.org requires you to be logged in, but once you find a sound you want, tap the ‘Download’ button. Choose ‘Download’ from the pop-up menu.

As with all apps of this type the file will download into the File Manager of the app itself—if you have already created sub-folders this will make organization easier.

Locate your file in the File Manager section and tap the blue arrow next to its name.

Tap the ‘Open with’ button which will make the ‘Open in..’ dialog appear (yes I know, why isn’t the ‘Open with’ button labelled ‘Open in..’?) Currently GarageBand is lagging behind other audio apps like BossJock and Audio Mastering for iPad which directly support the ‘Open in..’ protocol (strange as Apple develop both iOS and GarageBand!) so you will need to choose an audio editor app like TwistedWave or Hokusai (with Tools pack) as an intermediate step. So ‘Open in..’ one of these apps.

Edit, Copy, Paste

In the audio editor app carry out any editing that is required. Omnisphere google drive.

Copy the audio file to the AudioCopy clipboard—this will enable you to paste it into GarageBand.

In GarageBand, create an audio track. This means choosing one of the two instruments that support audio files, the ‘Audio Recorder’ track or the Guitar Amp’ track. If you are starting a project from scratch you will need to ‘record’ something so a project is created and you can see the instrument as a track—then delete what you recorded.

In Tracks view tap on the track background—a pop-up menu with the ‘Paste’ option will appear. Garageband ipad tutorial.

Paste the audio file from the AudioCopy clipboard into your project. GarageBand doesn’t have an audio file manager either (like Logic Pro’s Bin) so to use the sound effect in other projects you will need to copy and paste it from one to the other. It’s probably worth creating a project just for keeping sound effects in for this very reason!
