Just Getting Started Options

[ediddy]

ok i need some help. about two weeks ago i got a g4 powerbook and use garage band i also bought remus rmx, a trigger finger pad, and a oxygen 8 keyboard. now im making ok beats but i feel like when i go to make the drum with beat and clap i cant control it. What i mean is i use a kit from rmx then go to garage band and use the trigger finger pad to make the basic beat but the tempo never matches up right. is there an easier way to get it so the tempo matches the basic beat. cause right now i move the tempo then see if the basic beat will fit in the 2 bars or w/e. is there a way to make the basic beat then it will automaticly fit or set its tempo. please help me out im new at this.

This might help

Try using your midi controller to create drum sounds (to start with)

make sure your keyboard is plugged in (usb) then open up

Garageband, select new track , software instrument, drum kit

then hit record and the keyboard will be active.

then hit stop, delete what you played and you can practice using the entire keyboard

with drums each key is different , one may be a snare, another

a cymbol, where if you selected software instrument piano

the keyboard would function as a piano

(the record/stop/delete is a work around to allow practice, someone else may have a better idea with that aspect

I have used Gb since Jan 05, I do not have a finger trigger

sounds interesting but this way you can walk before you run

hope this helps

post again if this did not help

good luck "You can do it!
