Can I get a Timpani sound in GB?
Hi Guys,
Just took delivery of a new 17" iMac. The PCs were too noisy (even with quiet fans) and the idea of a silent computer appealed. I'd heard a lot about Garageband and was really looking forward to using it but I'm really struggling. I know it's supposed to be intuitive and all that but compared to the windows applications I've used for the past 15 years it doesn't seem very suited to the midi and live recording that I'm doing and although the loops are great fun I simply don't need them for what I do 😟
Anyway, I persevere and I need tubular bells and timpani (both pretty standard sounds that I've used in windows) and I can't find either. I can find a few bells but can't get the sound I want and I can't find any timpani at all, in fact there doesn't appear to be an orchestral percussion section. Am I not looking in the right place
It does get better doesn't it 'cos the mac is so alien to me I'm thinking of sending it back?
Thanks
Rich
