I was trying to figure out why my recordings were cutting out at 8 bars and you have saved me. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help!
I have spent hours trying to find out how to record from midi Casio. This was so clear. Thank you so much.
How can we tweak the timing of some notes since we are recording in midi? :) new here, learning! this video has been great!
@@iamnotagirl tap your track then click edit. You can slide the notes to the perfect timing ⏱️
Thank you. Very clear presentation and very useful.
Thank You so much!!
I’ve spent weeks trying to find the right cables and how then this all worked in garage band...
Thanks again darlin’!!
Cheers from CA - USA
Best explanation I've seen so far ! Thanks !
I have spent many time trying to find out how to play and record from my Yamaha
Digital piano ydp163 and this video présent an easy way to do it. Many thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you! It is very helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Your instruction was simple and easy to follow. You also saved me from buying expensive cords and/or adapters that I don’t need!
Thank you! Perfect clear short video
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful!
Exactly what I was looking for! Great tutorial, thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for your upload. When L and R from the interface are connected to the iPad, will GarageBand give stereo option to choose?
Thank you for doing this video! It was perfect 💜
You’re welcome!
Great. Just what I needed to get going. Thanks a lot :-)
thank you so much for this!!
Thank you for this video, it was helpful.
You're welcome!
Great job.
Thank you so much for the warning of default 8 bar song section recording. Really helpful.
Happy to help!
Excellent clear tutorial. Many thanks 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the help! It's not a very intuitive interface and your video made it really clear.
Glad to hear that!
Perfect! Thank you. Just subscribed. 😊
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks!
Great thanks for sharing this 👍
No problem 👍
Thankyou
Thank you so much. I was about to spend unnecessary money on a app that I would not have needed.
Thankyou so much
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this short yet informative video
😍🙏
It worked! We are recccording🎉
Without you i‘d never have figured out why the recording would stop after 16 bars… (why!!! ?)
Thanks a lot!!!❤
Glad it helped!
Excellent! The question is what is the best default setting to recording a keyboard- synth sound? Great explanation of multi track.
You mean which instrument to set to? That entirely depends on the style you're looking for.
Thank you. Your short video was very helpful about understanding garage band.
Do you have a video that explains how to make the various sounds in garage band play on your keyboard? I have a nice Yamaha digital piano and I can’t make it be a slave to the garage band software.
Sorry I don't have a video on that, Roderick.
Excellent performance and an excellent instrument as well as Gbnd. I use Gbnd iOS in conjunction with Yamaha Genos, PSRX-SX600 and other. I use internal midi in Gbnd. However, How would I set hardware midi setting from hardware keyboards to operate? I expect it’s the same principle used on you hardware keyboard.
nice banksy
On exporting a song: It would have been good if you had brought up the menu when you clicked on 'Song'. Presumably, when you click on 'Song', a menu will appear telling me where I can export to….email, Dropbox, Save to Files, etc. you only mentioned, ………."send to someone else." Is that the only option, or can I save the song too? Very clear video though - a complete lack of annoying background music was a bonus! I shall wait patiently for an answer to my question.
Hey man, great video, thank you! I wanted to ask you if it’s possible to play REAL-TIME different sounds than what FP-30X provides via VST into a DAW for example. I am sure there are better sounds out there than what FP-30X has available, that’s why I am looking into this. Lastly, will the audio be output from the monitors connected to the computer or do the monitors have to be connected to the FP-30X directly?
I have done basically this when doing only lessons and yes, it can work.
Thank you for your video, very helpful! Here is one question that if Casio 350 - we just purchased this evening, (choosing between yamaha ew 410). I wonder if it will do the job as you suggested? or Yamaha is better in terms of mini connection? Also can we fully use gage band to write music piece if we play a son in the keyboard. Any casio or yamaha model will record the singing outside to the keyboard and make it into a music note? Many thanks,
As long as it has midi output (normally a USB slot these days) it should be fine. Garageband will create notation but it will not be pretty. You need human editing for that.
Is there anyway to get the audio from the digital piano itself into garageband?
Possible to record piano and voice on the same time on garage band ?
I need help, how can I make the sustain work during the recording cause even when I'm using it in the final record doesn't sound :(
HI! why when I listen to the recording it sounds as if I hadn't used the sustain pedal even though I hear it when I use it and while recording? I mean the song sounds like I didn't use the sustain pedal :(
Can I ask, when you record your midi into garage band how are you playing it back? Does it play back through the piano via the usb cable? If so do you know if the playback is from midi or audio? Thanks for the video.
The playback is coming from the device, e.g. iPad that Garageband is on.
Can you export to MiDi (not mp3), and if so, can you designate which notes go to the treble clef (right hand), and which go to the bass clef (left hand)?
I don’t think so from the iPad version. I could be mistaken though!

Is there a way to hear a click track while recording? Not audible on the-playback, but to keep you on track while recording?
yes there’s a metronome on garageband and you can change the tempo
So i have i kawai k200 silent atx3 piano, unfortunately i havent yet found a way to use the beautifull in build sounds it has for garageband input, guess i could always use a microphone, but midi isnt the right way for this i guess
Use a regular 3.5mm cable and in GarageBand use audio recorder
I wonder if this is recording midi data only? Say if I have a piano with some specific sounds on it that I like, do those sounds also get recorded, or is it just the midi data that gets converted to the piano sounds that is build into GarageBand?
Yes, this is the midi data. So the sound is coming from Garageband.
Thank you for the video, however I have a question. how do I record my digital piano sound and a microphone at the same time? I have an interface but I can record a very good sound only for the digital piano or for the microphone but not for both of them altogether? I do not know what I am doing wrong?
That depends on the interface. Look up tutorials for whatever you’re using.
Hey I was wondering how you can use your digital piano's actual sounds on garageband instead of using the virtual instruments?
You could run a cable from the headphone output on the keyboard into the Lightning port on your iOS device
Hi, thanks for the crisp information. However if I wanted to record my actual digital piano sound (like yamaha p45) on ipad, how should I do it?
You mean the sound coming out of the piano's speakers? That you would just record into the iPad's mic.
@@ColourfulKeys the sound recorded from the speakers by iPad's mic will have noise. I want to record the audio in its pure form.
Then the solution is what I described here. :)
@@ColourfulKeys thanks :)
Colourful Keys that’s what I’m having to do in the meantime as I haven’t got a midi cord or usb with my digital piano yet. Thank you for the video!
I have a keyboard that doesn’t use usb or whatever else people use, is there anyway to do it that way? please help me.
Possibly, but I'm afraid I don't have experience with that.
My keyboard has only audio out not MIDI. I used a 1/4” to 3.5mm jack from the piano and plugged the other end of the 3.5mm cable into a Y splitter (mic and headphone) which is connected to the iPhone using lighting to audio cable. However in GarageBand I can only choose the audio recorder option not piano. If I choose piano and try to record as you show there is no audio ?
As far as I understand, that won’t work. MIDI is a different type of information than just audio.
How do you get GarageBand to accept the effects from the midi keyboard? I have GB recognizing the keyboard but it only recognizes the voice set in GB. Changing the voice in the keyboard makes no difference. What if I want to play strings through the keyboard, say?
This video is just about using the Garageband native instruments. Sorry I can't help with using your instruments on the keyboard.
Connecting a digital keyboard to a computer/phone/pad via the MIDI port only transmits/receives the MIDI data, you have to assign the incoming MIDI data to an instrument in your DAW (GarageBand, Cakewalk, Ableton, etc). The instrument you select on your keyboard will have zero affect as to what is played in your DAW. If you do not assign the MIDI to an instrument you will hear nothing.
Can you also use the device for camera while recording in garage band?
As in, use just the ipad as your device for everything? I'd say it would be tricky to navigate and hard to show the student what you're doing.
Colourful Keys not for teaching but recording is it possible to use an iphone to directly connect the audio of the keyboard and in the same time use the camera to record the video?
@@nesto7292 not that I know of.
@@nesto7292 It's kinda late, but it is possible, there is an advanced setting that let's the app record when using other apps and it works with camera recording
May bluetooth replaced the cable?
Not that I know of but I’m not an expert in this, I was just sharing a simple solution that I often get questions about.
Re the Automatic setting for recording length. When I press Automatic I have to change the section length manually, and it reverts to 8 bars the next time. If I press automatic and don’t change the length it reverts to “Automatic 8 bars”. Is this right?
I’ve never seen it do that. When I press automatic it just adds on bars as I play.
@@ColourfulKeys Thanks for your reply. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app to eliminate any faults, but it still reverts to automatic(8 bars). Any ideas how to correct this? Ray
Does this work with GarageBand on iPhone?
I don't know to be honest but I don't see any reason why not.
Would this work on iPhone?
Hmm. Not sure! If you try it please let us know!
@@ColourfulKeys just picked up the cables from Best Buy and I can confirm it works!
@@mrbanshee1678 Awesome! Thanks for checking back in and sharing. :)
Hey I followed the same procedure but after recording it’s not sounding the exact what I recorded
Do you mean what you heard coming out of your piano? This is recording the midi, ie what you’re hearing inside GarageBand when you play.
@@ColourfulKeys yeah its sounding weird
So why does it not record my sustainer pedal?
Did you find out how to make it sound?
@@sanchezjimenezisai4718 I did not actually
ok.But this is midi piano. But what recording the actual AUDIO of my yamaha. Besides, the audio is more superior than midi, depending on digital the piano you own. There’s a lot of confusion with beginners on the difference. Can you make a video on recording the audio sound of a piano.
That's a very different kettle of fish! You will find many videos about microphone setups for pianos as they're are so many variables there and I'm not an expert. As the title says, this is just about digitals directly into Garageband.
i recorded from my digital piano into GarageBand but i have few problems:
i can hear noise especially when playing a slightly high note, i tried to reduce the volume but it didn't help,
and the sound doesn't exactly seem like my digital piano !
any idea how to fix it?
If you're recording the way it shows in this video it won't be the sound of your piano, it will be the sound of the Garageband piano. Does that make sense? As for the weird sound on high notes, that sounds like a glitch. Try updating your Garageband app and try a different usb cable just in case.
@@ColourfulKeys how can i make it the sound of my piano ?
@@DanaOnLee there's no way to do that other than recording the sound through the microphone. You can't make Garageband sound exactly like your digital piano as they don't have the same sample library.
I thought there was a way, thank you for your reply 🌹
I discovered , can be copied and pasted to another song yayyyyy
Wrong title, its not the sound of your digital piano thats been recorded, its the piano from the garageband, misleading
That's certainly wasn't my intention. I realise you might interpret that title the other way, but many people will describe it this way when they want to record via MIDI.
@@ColourfulKeys believe me its not your digital piano was recorded in garageband, sorry , but its misleading,you can record the sound of your digital piano to garageband if you have usb interface plugged as well in your ipad, via choosing 'audio recording' in garageband it the possible way you record the piano sound of your digital piano.. thank you , and have a blessed week..God bless
