I love it when I just sit back and enjoy a video like this and unexpectedly pick up a valuable tip-in this case creating two simultaneous inputs so that you have a track’s view when recording even a single part. So many times when I’ve needed that. Now I’ve got it!
Awesome stuff Stephen. Yes, this is a cool little trick that makes recording so much easier. I think I’ll make a stand-alone video about it as I’ve had a lot of folks tell me they were not aware of this as they only ever record one track at a time. Thanks as always for your support. 👍
So here it is 3 years later, June 14, 2022, and though I am a regular GB user (mainly due to Pete's tutorials) I never knew this and often wondered if there was a way to record tracks but not be in the "amp" view. Thanks Pete!!
Did you ever finish/release this? This is kind of how I go about writing my stuff when I have my guitar available (see my track Sundaye on my channel). I’ll find the chords I like or just hit record and see what happens and sing along while I do that.
Hey there. Yup, this eventually became my song “Goats” which I released using Amuse as my fictional punk band “Fear Cut”. ua-cam.com/video/sEQH6MCECC4/v-deo.html Here’s the release video - ua-cam.com/video/ZwXaptqi4bQ/v-deo.html
Nice one! Punk is by far THE most fun genre to record. You can just go nuts and it sounds like you did it on purpose. I’m liking the count in too actually! Again, was just me messing around.
Oh wow! If I make a video for this I can already picture the visuals for the start. And I COMPLETELY intend to say goat instead of go when I record these lyrics. I wonder if anyone else will notice? 😄
Hey Pete... Great fun this video! Just wondering ... does it sound any different if you have a cheaper electric guitar or bass vs a pricy one if your recording using virtual amps? Like if everything in the setup is exactly the same (interface, cables etc) except the actual guitar ? Thanks!
So yes, the quality of the signal sent from the guitar is a factor in the overall sound. Depends on exactly how cheap the guitar is. Any decent quality guitar will generate a good tone that you can work with.
@@PeteJohnsMusic So I have a Gibson SG decent quality electric and my husband has a cheaper Yamaha Bass guitar he is thinking of upgrading. We use the Steinburg UR22C interface (thanks for those videos too!). I thought maybe it was like MIDI where its just signals going in. Thanks! 🙏
Great video pete, reminds me of how I write music, jamming to a cool idea and just letting it evolve as you play is my favourite way of composing. I used to compose in Guitar Pro, arranging everything before I went to record but now I much more prefer the more laidback, "see where it takes you" approach you show here.
Right!? I need to start treating my instruments better. I have stands but such limited room I often leave them lying around. I will regret it when one falls or develops a permanent bend on the neck...
I recently moved into a basement apartment with a really low ceiling (cant even stretch my hands out fully up, I managed to hit my guitars headstock against the ceiling... luckily nothing happened, was still a shock though
Cheers! Yes, I continue to be blown away by just what you can record using an iPhone/iPad. I recorded my whole album last year using just this gear. petejohns.com/album.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thats great. And you get faster results that is motivating, too. I recorded my song "24 hour is not enough" on a mac incl. voice recording. Plus animated music clip on the mac ... and the product was ready.
What guitar interface or microphone are you using to record? Analog interfaces (using the headphone jack) can generate much more distortion than a digital (USB/lightning) interface. This video may provide more information - ua-cam.com/video/Dl88BFY0T2g/v-deo.html There is also a “crosstalk protection” option in the general settings you should turn on - ua-cam.com/video/dBaLsbymgyA/v-deo.html
Pete Johns no worries. I’ve been some weird issues with my audio tracks. Affects come up on one part but not the other part. Thanks for the awesome videos. Just subscribed.
@@mrmaramindit's because if you only record one track at a time you see a picture of an amp instead of the overview of all the tracks, and since he prefers to see the song structure and pre-recorded tracks while recording a new track he uses this trick to make GarageBand show him everything.
@Pete Johns Did you have any problems with latency when recording vocals ? I've got serious latency problems when i try and record scratch vox in garageband on iphone. any ideas how to work around this one ? cheers.
Hey there my friend. I haven't had many issues with latency using the Steinberg UR12 interface, and not much with other interfaces either. What are you using to record your vocals?
Hey Pete I’ve tried a few things, some irig gadget for mics (irig pre?) a shure mic for iPhone 3.5 jack. I even tried the built mic, but there’s still that latency problem. A bit annoying when you want to get ideas down before you forget them .😁
Gotcha. Are you using a vocal preset at all? Any of the presets that have the “enhance tuning” option will add latency because the signal is being processed and auto tuned while you sing.
@@PeteJohnsMusic I'll have to check that next time I use garage band. its probably something really simple...but when you haven't a clue (like me) its like knitting fog. I'll let you know how I get on . thanks so much Pete
No worries. It’s a trap because the two most popular vocal presets (Radio Ready and Lead Vocals) have some bad delay and latency by default. If you want to reduce it, disable the “enhance tuning” on these or use “punchy prescribes” which has no tuning.
I’m glad you asked Brendan! You sure can. Here’s a video showing how - ua-cam.com/video/ESmnF7jv92A/v-deo.html If you have any issues or other questions don’t hesitate to ask. 👍
You try again not to be late 👍😎 can I contact you via WhatsApp, there are some things about Garagaband that I want to talk about. if you can send it to my email randyf3brian@gmail.com thx 🤙
bro, I picked up the guitar already done. Why am I finished taking the bass metronome that always appears when I have turned down the sound of the metronome? Solution please 😊

YES PETE! 🤘Really great to get a sneak peek at your workflow. Love the track, looking forward to hearing it once you’ve given it a wee tweak 👍
Cheers Patrick. Oh there shall be tweaking! Trying not to overthink it though. Want to try to keep this one raw.
Pete! Do you think you could make a video of creating R&B type tracks? I think that would be awesome!
Cool idea. It’s not really a genre I’m very proficient in, but that could make it even more fun!
The get the full punk effect, crack the screen!
That´s no mess, Pete ! I see a lot of fun and I hear a lot of patience - that´s it - Great what you are doing, I like it - Thank you so much!
Cheers my friend. Appreciate your support! 👍

Hands up punk music and super excited to here it buddy 😊🤟👍 also liked the video!
Cheers my friend! More on this coming in the next couple of days. Horns up!! 🤘
Pete Johns ye super excited buddy 😊
Noice.
Nice vocals this video is actually amazing
Thanks my friend! Really appreciate the kind words. 👍
I love this type of videos, they're so inspiring, you wanna get up and record something as well. Thanks a lot, Pete.
Thanks my friend! This is why I love GarageBand I’m the iPhone/iPad. It is so easy to just pick up and start recording!
Nice video! 👏 I use my iPhone mainly for my music channel here on YT... obviously. In your opinion, which iPhone might be best for the GarageBand app?
Hey there. So I have an iPhone guide here that you might find handy. studiolivetoday.com/iphone
Thanks a lot! And if you'd like to check out a track or two on my channel: feedback is always appreciated. Thanks again
I would keep the count-in. It sounds kind of Ramones. You've inspired me to write a punk song next.
Nice one! Punk is by far THE most fun genre to record. You can just go nuts and it sounds like you did it on purpose.
I’m liking the count in too actually! Again, was just me messing around.
Dude, love your channel!
Thanks my friend. Appreciate your kind words.
1,2,3 LETS GOAT
Oh wow! If I make a video for this I can already picture the visuals for the start.
And I COMPLETELY intend to say goat instead of go when I record these lyrics. I wonder if anyone else will notice? 😄
Especially if the goats had the Ramones haircuts ? Or would that be the *RAM-GOATS* (see what I did there ) 😁
Haha! Sadly I did. 😅
Lol love it! Goats rule 🐐
Goats for the WIN!!!
Hey Pete can you please show us how to upload a song from GarageBand to amuse app all from your iphone?!
Hey there. Yep, I’m planning to do exactly this with the punk song I’m working on at the moment, so watch this space!
Your Voice is amazing
Thanks my friend.

Leaving that guitar propped against the couch is asking for trouble mate...
Right!? I need to start treating my instruments better. I have stands but such limited room I often leave them lying around. I will regret it when one falls or develops a permanent bend on the neck...
Pete Johns I used to do it until you know what happened
I recently moved into a basement apartment with a really low ceiling (cant even stretch my hands out fully up, I managed to hit my guitars headstock against the ceiling... luckily nothing happened, was still a shock though
Great!! Congratulations!!!
🤘
Great! It is wonderful what you can record today without a big recording studio

Thanks you so much for listening. PleAse drop a link to your music and I’ll be sure to check it out.

Thanks my friend! You can be too. studiolivetoday.com/garageband
this was super useful! thankyou!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
what did you set the input gain on steinberg? what was volume on guitar etc?
This should help. ua-cam.com/video/smEGQq_fVfA/v-deo.html
nice! looks really fun
Had a blast making this one. 🤘
amazing video !! thank u :)

When I use a distorted sound for my guitar it sounds really low quality even for a distorted track any reason why?

Pete Johns I use the irig 2 as I’m just starting out
Why is there 2 vocal tracks and one doesn’t seem to have any think on it?
Not sure sorry? It may just be a blank track? Apologies - this one was quite a while ago.

@@PeteJohnsMusic subbed! Will definitely check some more of your stuff out
How did you get the guitar to play amp while being on the track screen I couldn’t get it to work

That's the weirdest Punk I've ever heard, sounds like it's got some Country influence to it or something, but it rocks 🤘
Haha! I love and embrace weird so this brings me joy. 👍😎
If you have the right gear can you record from a mic and midi controller at once on garage band ios?
I’m glad you asked Brendan! You sure can. Here’s a video showing how - ua-cam.com/video/ESmnF7jv92A/v-deo.html
