Question: Q: GarageBand iPad 2 Velocity Sensitivity Not sure why, but the below discussion was deleted from the Community but it was unanswered, so I'm including the thread below in this message. I am having the same problem, namely, the volume of drums and keyboards in GB for iPad 2 works part of the time and does not work part of the time.

Feb 20, 2018  Here, you can take one of the extremely high quality, realistic drum kits on GarageBand, and mash it into something else - stick a snare through a guitar amp with spring reverb, and have full. GarageBand - Adjusting Track Volume There are two ways to adjust volume in GarageBand. You can adjust the volume of each individual track, set the volume level at which the song or podcast exports and use a fade out effect. To work with the volume of each individual track: First make sure that the Track Mixer is open.

You can add a virtual drummer to your song that plays realistic drum grooves. You can choose drummers from different genres, each with its own acoustic, electronic, or percussion drum kit. A GarageBand song can have up to two Drummer tracks.

You can change the drummer’s playing style by choosing different presets, and adjust drum patterns using the Drummer controls—which include an XY pad for adjusting the drummer’s performance, and controls for choosing different performance variations and fill settings. You can also have the Drummer follow the rhythm of another track.

If your song contains multiple Drummer regions, the changes you make using the Drummer controls affect only the currently selected Drummer region.

Choose a drummer

  • Tap the drummer name, tap the style of drum kit you want to use (Acoustic, Electronic, or Percussion), then tap the drummer you want to play.

All Drummer regions in a track use the same drummer.

Choose a drummer preset

  • Tap the current drummer preset above the XY pad, scroll vertically through the preset list, then tap a preset.

    To hear the preset, tap the Play button in the control bar.

Adjust the loudness and complexity of the selected region

In the XY pad, do any of the following:

  • Make the region louder or softer: Drag the yellow puck up or down.

  • Make the region simpler or more complex: Drag the yellow puck left or right.

Each style of drum kit —acoustic, electronic, or percussion— has different groups of drum kit pieces. The slider to the right of each group controls the pattern for that particular group.

  • Tap a drum kit piece, then drag the slider for that piece left or right.

Change the swing value of the selected region

  • Tap the Swing button, then choose a swing value from the pop-up menu.

Adjust the amount of fills

  • Drag the Fills slider right to increase the number of fills, or drag it left to decrease the number of fills.

Have a Drummer region follow the rhythm of another track

  1. Select a Drummer region.

  2. Swipe the Follow switch right to turn it on.

  3. Tap the Follow Track pop-up menu that appears under Kick & Snare (Kick, Snare & Claps on electronic drum kits), then choose a track from the list.

Edit the selected Drummer region

  • Tap the selected region, then tap one of the editing commands.

For information about the region editing commands, see Edit regions in GarageBand for iPad.

Replace the selected Drummer region

  1. Delete the selected Drummer region: Tap the Trash icon on the right side of the region.

    On an iPad Pro, double-tap the region, then tap Delete.

  1. Tap the Record button in the control bar.

  2. If you drag drums into the grid, change their position, or drag them out of the grid, your changes are recorded as part of the drum groove.

  3. When you finish, tap the Play button in the control bar to stop recording.

Edit the drum groove after you record

After you record a drum groove, the grid shows what has been recorded at the current playhead position. For example, if you recorded a snare drum starting at bar 5, moving the playhead to bar 5 (or later) shows the snare in the grid.

  • You can edit the recorded drum groove and try out your changes without altering the recording. Playback starts when you add or move drums in the grid so you can hear your edits. To stop playback, tap the Power button to turn it off. To keep your changes, record the groove again.
