You can now add some completely intentional
glitches to your GarageBand projects…
Across every platform, GarageBand has introduced loops and patches for trending sounds, with ‘Glitch’ being one of them. Glitch as a genre rose to prominence in the 1990s but has since found a place in modern EDM and Pop music, giving rise to Glitch Hop. Jittery beats and heavily manipulated, processed synths are a hallmark of this technologically influenced sound. So it’s all about throwing in odd, jarring clips that suggest that audio playback is malfunctioning – in a cool way! GarageBand recognises Glitch with some great loops to add, along with numerous plugins and presets to try.
