Apple profile, a recorded/produced demo in Garageband.

n8tron · 17th May 2007

This was an interesting read. Apparently this guy recorded/produced his latest EP in garageband and it was picked up by his major label.

I am a little confused though by the article. At first it comes off like the completed record was done completely in garageband, then on the 2nd page it says that some of the tracks for the final studio mix were lifted from his garagband records, so obviously it was just the demo, which we don't get to hear, that was recorded in garageband. But then on the right hand side the credits for the EP are listing only him recording/producing/mixing in garageband... I just want to know if thats what I am listening to if I play this record! Can't seem to find a straight answer.

Anyway, its sound pretty good either way, I listened to the clips on iTunes.

Didn't read the article, can't comment on the confusing process description, but will put in my 2 cents that, while it's certainly not a professional tool, Garageband makes home recording easy and relatively inviting, even for hardcore technophobes.

The original version was a shameless knockoff of the old ACID program, to be sure, but with GB2 they really focused on making a user-friendly, hobbyist oriented environment.

Go to i-Tunes and listen to the Green Room Sessions lp. that's his GB demo. Then listen to the subsequent Columbia full release the Break In, not recorded in Garage Band,, which includes remakes of two songs from the ep.

Was all recorded in Garageband, with a Tascam US-122 as the interface. Signal path was predominantly an SM57 into a Kaoss Pad, often manipulated live by whoever wasn't fetching the beer. I mixed in Logic, all ITB. Yeah, it has a gritty asthetic, but it kicks buttocks on big stereo systems, and everyone who hears these tunes loves them. As the only tech-savvy member of the ensemble, I could show the other gents how to use GB in 2 minutes, so I didn't have to tape-op while playing my parts. I'm the guitarist, occasional vocalist, sometimes bassist (three in the group) programmer, and the guy who destroyed the pedestal fan in the pursuit of percussive grandiour.

With my outboard (natch) I could record major label quality with it, easy. Think of it as a big 4-track cassette recorder. With loops. Garageband is excellent.

heath.
