In fact,  in about 30 minutes, if you have riffs ready, you can easily create the foundation of a song using the drummer track. <\/p>\n<p>Put simply:<br \/>\nTo make a country song in Garageband, follow the steps below:<br \/>\n1) Make up your riffs or chord progression<br \/>\n2) Record them in Garageband<br \/>\n3) Use Austin from the singer-songwriter sub-section of the drummer track.<br \/>\n4) Fill out the rest of the mix with other instruments, including the banjo, pedal steel, an upright bass, as well as some other instruments of your choice, including a harmonica. <\/p>\n<p>Gear List:<br \/>\n1) Guitars<\/p>\n<p>PRS SE Custom 24<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a--3970375\/item--PAUCM4\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a&#8211;3970375\/item&#8211;PAUCM4\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fender Acoustic<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WG7IUb\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WG7IUb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2) Audio Interface <\/p>\n<p>iRig HD2<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a--3970375\/item--IKMIRIGHD2\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a&#8211;3970375\/item&#8211;IKMIRIGHD2\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Focusrite Scarlett 2i2<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a--3970375\/item--FOCSCAR2I2V3\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.zzounds.com\/a&#8211;3970375\/item&#8211;FOCSCAR2I2V3\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3) Studio Headphones <\/p>\n<p>Audio Technica ATH-M50x<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jnKOe0\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jnKOe0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Plug-Ins <\/p>\n<p>1) Yojo Banjo<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/product\/yojo-by-reflekt-audio\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/product\/yojo-by-reflekt-audio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2) Pedal Steel From Uwe Engelmann<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.native-instruments.com\/en\/reaktor-community\/reaktor-user-library\/entry\/show\/7155\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.native-instruments.com\/en\/reaktor-community\/reaktor-user-library\/entry\/show\/7155\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You have to have Reaktor 6 from Native Instrument<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/producersociety.com\/komplete-start-garageband-best-plugins\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/producersociety.com\/komplete-start-garageband-best-plugins\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3) Serpo Multi-Instrument Plug-In From JD Tech<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/product\/serpo-by-jd-tech\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/product\/serpo-by-jd-tech<\/a><\/p>\n<p>4) Melodyne 5 (30-Day Trial)<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/producersociety.com\/best-autotune-plug-in-garageband\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/producersociety.com\/best-autotune-plug-in-garageband\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other Useful VSTs and Plug-Ins: <\/p>\n<p>1) DSK Overture (Violin Type Plug-ins)<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dskmusic.com\/dsk-overture\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dskmusic.com\/dsk-overture\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2) Spitfire Audio Labs Strings<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/labs.spitfireaudio.com\/frozen-strings\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/labs.spitfireaudio.com\/frozen-strings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3) DSK Dynamic Guitars<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dskmusic.com\/dsk-dynamic-guitars\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dskmusic.com\/dsk-dynamic-guitars\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other Useful Articles and Videos <\/p>\n<p>1) How to Connect Your Guitar<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/producersociety.com\/connect-guitar-garageband\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/producersociety.com\/connect-guitar-garageband\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2) How to Separate Your Drums For Mixing + Drummer Track Tips<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/producersociety.com\/drummer-track-garageband\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/producersociety.com\/drummer-track-garageband\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3) How to Mix A Song in Garageband<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/producersociety.com\/how-to-mix-garageband\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/producersociety.com\/how-to-mix-garageband\/<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VxfbqAY30is\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#country #garageband #tutorial In this video, I do my best to show you how I would create a country song in Garageband.
