I created a screencast to show you just how easy it is to create your own click tracks in Garage Band. You might also be interested in my post on an OSX BPM widget that lets you tap out the BPM for songs in your iTunes library. You can click through to the video on Vimeo to see it in HD where you can make out the menu options a bit better.

Thanks
great help!
This is a good thing. I like it.
I tried to use it for my situation but, I couldn’t get it to work. My situation may be one that it can’t done for. Here it is …
I’ve imported an mp3 from itunes into Garage band. I want to record my vdrums (electronic drums) on a separate track as I play along with the imported mp3 song. That part is easily done. The problem is that when the mp3 song starts with drums only, or the entire band starts all together, it’s difficult to know when I should start playing.
The tempo of the imported mp3 does not seem to be affected when I change the tempo on garage band, which is good. I’ve tried to discover the tempo using an app called bpmtapper but it never seems to be *just right*.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Great video! Exactly what I needed. Many thanks!
