I'm new to GarageBand. I used to use Reason back in the days but I haven't touched it in a while, and now that I switched to Mac I thought I'd give GarageBand a shot since it already came installed with my Mac.
But one of the problems I'm tackling is the following: I prefer to use my own KICKS, SNARES and even HI-HATS. As it seems, the only way I can use them is if I drag-n-drop one by one and it will make a separate track for each of them. Ok, fine with me, but now I have to combine each track (kick track, snare track and hi-hat track) to make it sound like a beat pattern, which is a pretty time-consuming process.
Reason, for example, has REDRUM, where you can easily select a beat pattern that you want, and you're all set. Now is there something similar in GarageBand that I'm missing, or do you simply have to do it all manually??
