  1. I’ve been trying to use 2 samples in one project. Ones an 808 and the others a hi hat, however when I exit the song and open it again, it puts them both as the 808 sample and I have to manually change the hi hat back to the hi hat sample everytime, so I can’t export the song. Any suggestions?

  2. Hey Pete what are the odds of a more in-depth instructional video on the sampler? Like really delve in to every use of it because it seems to be a fantastic tool but I lack the know how to apply

  3. I’m using Adobe audition on my laptop, do you know what program/VST is simple and easy to create samples like this GarageBand utility?

  4. I’m trying to import an 808 audio file into the sampler, but it’s distorted. When I drag the file on the track to fix it it freezes on download. Any help?

  5. Ok.. so… forgive me if I explain this weirdly. I want to make a song in B major, and I have a bass sample that’s in C major, if I import it will GarageBand “know” the key and adjust accordingly? Or will I have to manually adjust the tuning? Also, if I don’t have the ear for tuning is there a way to accommodate? Thank you again in advance!

  6. This video was all I needed, I actually broke my iPad but I needed to remember that tool to use it on Logic Pro, which isn't as easy as it is on this video, but helped me out to reach the correct way, thanks

  7. Is it possible to adjust the tempo of a sample? I'm trying to import an existing song but I am having a hard time getting the tempo of the original song to match the tempo I want to set the beat at

  8. I can’t see my saved sample in my library it’s just in my “My Samples Section” I also noticed that I don’t have the music section near apple loops what should I do?
