GarageBand - I haz no rhythm, how to lock instruments to 1/16 notes

[MrCheeto]

I need to create an underlaying track to my current drum beat. All is well but I can't play 1/16th notes for SHIZZ!

I'm wondering if I can just tell it to play a certain instrument (a certain part of a drum kit) every 1/16th note, rather than drumming it manually.

Thanks all!

Software instrument or real instrument?
If you are really that bad with rhythm, you should probably use a software instrument. Record the part, using the virtual keyboard or a midi keyboard, select the track, click the scissors, and select align to (drop down menu) 1/16 note. You can do the same with a real instrument, but it produces not very good results.

Software instrument of course XD I'm no musician.

I get this in that scissor menu thing, am I missing something? Can you GrabUp what I'm looking for?

I plugged some Rock band drums into it and learned I have a knack for 90's hip-hop beats, LUL.

Just change where is says 1/32 Triplet, to 1/16 note.

Excuse me for being an idiot, "align to" was even in my screenshot -.-'

It doesn't work too well, it tends to move some closer than others, but oh well, it's really just for fun and as a soundtrack to my videos

Thanks much!
