Alchemy on GarageBand for Mac?

It was the number one synth app on iOS for years, before being converted into one of the very best features in GarageBand for iOS and Logic Pro X, so why oh why do GarageBand for Mac users not have full access to Alchemy?

While a disappointing shortcoming of Apple’s desktop DAW, you can still squeeze a surprising amount of sweet synth-y goodness from what Alchemy features we DO have.

In the video tutorial below I show you how to make the most of Garageband for Mac’s stripped down version of Alchemy.

 

 

How do you think GarageBand’s stripped back version of Alchemy compares to some of the more robust third party synths out there?

I’d love for you to leave a comment below and let me know.
