GarageBand Jam Pack: Remix Tools
Some great stuff, but some not too great stuff
Written by KM
May 7, 2008
Bought the remix tools, and have to say, some great stuff... but everything is about the same beat...
There are almost no single drum sounds either... The ones
that are there, sound really poor ( there are just 2 poor
sounding kik single drum sounds ) a few weak cymbals, and
no single cowbells....among other things... I'm sure I can use the sounds, but imagine an album with 12 cuts with all the same beat....it's time for a headache pill !
I wish when techs up at the top of apple create this stuff, or review it...really try to use this stuff...
I bet they don't... maybe they will call me to discuss why I'm not too happy....

You can also use these Jam Packs with apples Logic Pro or the Express version. The drum kits are really cool when you route to to ultrabeat.

Great, but not good for the Trance artist.
Written by EK from Pinedale
May 25, 2008
Ok. I am impressed and unimpressed with the features, as they seem to suit the needs of most non-trance artists, but Trance was really left out in this Jam Pack. Perhaps you should include a Trance Jam Pack in your line up of Jam Packs, otherwise, this is decent.

Good.... But Not Great!

Yes, I will admit, this a good product with a large variety and selection, but Native Instruments is way better! Download or Buy The Native Instruments Komplete Pack, you will not be dis-satisfied!

it's a good buy...but...
Written by JC from branford
Mar 5, 2009
There's a good bulk of instruments...but many of the drum kits are not all that distinct from each other and contain a lot of the same sounds in different combinations...I've gotten a lot cooler and more extensive sample packs (40 kick drums, 30 snares etc) in .wav format for certain genres (ambient or dnb) in the past for 100 bucks...but it's still a good buy overall.

About Jam Packs and Reviews
Written by PG from Lake in the Hills
Aug 26, 2008
I'm about to buy this product. One thing people need to know is that these packs are not to be relied on one hundred percent. These are to help people get a good feel of music and try things out. Have fun with them but be sure to use actual instruments and learn music along with the jam packs. And if you are only getting sound out of one side, it's probably because you recorded in stereo and not mono. The great thing about a Mac is that they are nearly fool proof.

answer to your problem
Written by BM from manchester

When recording your track your recording in mono the default is stereo so to switch press the i icon then details were you see channel 1&2 stereo switch to mono or convert your signal to stereo.
As for this jam pack great for synth stabs drum sounds and great loops pity garage band hasn't got a sequencer to trigger the great Roland 808 & 909 sounds lots of fun for anybody creating dance electro music188 of 368 people found this useful

Fantastic
Written by BB from Reynoldsburg
Mar 30, 2006
This is a fantastic tool for electronica producers. The software synths are amazing. The plethora of drum kits are handy too, although some of the drum loops sound nearly the same. This isn't something to miss out on, though. You'll have to try it yourself.

Pretty Sweet
Written by CS from Camas
Jan 20, 2008
This is a really sweet buy. I love this pack because I mostly dabble in techno. The percussion section is sweet! There are plenty of really cool beats and sounds you can make out of the drums they provide. Also, there are really cool sound effects, but they seem to repeat themselves too much. When it comes to the musical instruments, there are some really cool sounds you can make out of the provided instruments. However, I was hoping for an ATB or Darude style of trance, but I was let down. But, overall, his is definitely worth it.

comes with tons of loops, and adds a load of software instruments that will blow your mind. For the cost it is worth every penny

I absolutely love this jam pack. I have the desire to create my own techno music and some really cool beats for videos and other things, and with all the synth sounds and new beats, this is a fabulous way to get those sounds I've been longing for since Garage Band came out. Recommend Highly!!

WOW
Written by CC from West Carrollton

An overwhelming amount of material to work with! I don't even know where to start. The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to really sink my teeth into all the great beats and instruments. I've been able to incorporate some of the drums and other effects in a couple songs I've already written and recorded with guitar. Now I'm trying to start from scratch to make my own house style songs and incorporating live guitar and bass. Awesome material to work with.

GarageBand Jam Pack: Remix Tools
..........Awestruck
Written by TH from Bloomington
Dec 25, 2006
It descibes itself exactly how you imagine it. When I first began to browse the "synth" loop section I was awestruck, but when I started to browse the "beats" loop section it was absolutely overwhelming (although there may be problems with the 2-step loops). The new instruments are fantastic. The Roland drum machines are great. It does come with a LOT of extra chord synths. If you thought you were livin' with standard GarageBand, you are sadly mistaken. You could listen to either 2Pac or Daft Punk and still be able to find the stuff you love within it's contents. Remix Tools is priced for $100 even though its value is $300!

Amazing
Written by DG from Toronto
Feb 21, 2007
I have produced 8 tunes since purchasing this product and have preview each tune to a group of friends. When my friends hear the tunes they can hardly believe that they were produced on my Mac with me playing software instruments on my computer keyboard. My Mac main purpose is now to produce electronica.
