Looking for a microphone to connect to you iPhone/iPad? - ua-cam.com/video/eGTbwR9XSHU/v-deo.html
Hello, do you know how to use both built-in microphones for a video - Ipad pro 10.5 2017 - thanks!
Hi there. I believe that some of the apps that you can use for video like MoviePro and Filmic Pro can let you select specific microphone combinations.
Pete Johns are you able to loop these like you are with for example a piano riff you made?
Yup. Any audio recorder audio can also be looked using the same method. 👍
Pete Johns cool. Alright, thanks!
Omg, so simple and straight to the point! Thank you!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Excellent video! I just heard of the app, haven't even downloaded it yet and wanted to see how to use it as a voice recorder. Found your video. GREAT JOB!!!
Nice one. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
can you use your headphones for sound and use your iPhone microphone
Sure can! Check out this video to see how to do this. ua-cam.com/video/FiFerT4ULUw/v-deo.html
Yup
Dumb question
Thanks for your help, Pete!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Thanks so much!!!😃

I have a lot of Hissing in my vocals when I record. Noise gate helps but I still hear laptop feedback (buzzing). Your vocals on this video are very clear!
Hey there. What are you using to record with? A lot depends on the microphone and interface you are using, and how you can eliminate any background noise during your recording sessions. In this video I go through my process for recording vocals using a microphones and a USB audio interface, though you can still get good sounding vocals using just the built-in mic or a headset with a microphone.

Are you still having issues with this now? The most common issue tends to be with input gain. Make sure you have your input volume set at a low level.

@@PeteJohnsMusic i connect my BM 700 mic to my ipad headphone jack and everytime, it sounds like the ipad is catching my voice instead the mic
Hi Pete, thanks for all your videos, have found them extremely helpful. I have a problem I was wondering whether you’d have a solution for… When I connect an external mic onto my ipad’s jack, although it receives input normally, the device takes it for a headphone set and stops playing back the track. I haven’t managed to find a way to force the output onto the speaker, neither within garageband nor in the device’s settings. One thing I can do is pass the output onto an external speaker via Bluetooth, but this plays it with significant delay that renders it practically useless. Any ideas?
Hey there. Most microphones have their own headphone jack which outputs the sound once plugged in. If you’re using an analog mic via the headphone jack you’ll need a TRS to TRRS adapter so you can have the mic and headphones plugged in at the same tome. studiolivetoday.com/cables
Saved my audio !! Thank you!
Very welcome. Thanks for your support. 👍
So helpful! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome.
I recorded a song, but when I listen back to individual tracks I can hear the other tracks within one track. If that makes since. Please help.
Hi there. This is most likely audio “bleed”, which means your microphone might be picking up playback of other tracks when you are recording new tracks. Are you using headphones and a microphone when recording each track?
@@PeteJohnsMusic I have my ipad connected through a focusrite interface dock. I also have that connected to a mixer and have instruments coming through mixer. I think a light bulb just went off in my head...lol. I should have instruments go directly into interface. I'll try it and let you know what happens... thanks!
Awesome! Yes, when you're using a mixer you need to be careful with your routing or you can send your monitor mix back to your recordings. Let me know how you go with it.
Great video. Would have loved you to carry on and record the next track. This would be to see the settings set up for how to play along and record a new track so listening to what’s already recorded without including the track or tracks I’m listening to on the new track. I’m doing something wrong. Sometimes it’s just the simplest things that drive me crazy. Thanks Pete and love your enthusiasm. 😀
Cheer any friend. I have heaps of other videos here in the channel that how go in to multi track recording so have a browse around and hopefully you find something that will help.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks Pete.
My issue is changing the microphone. am I able to use my Airpods microphone on garageband?
Hey so I have the Blue Yeti mic and whenever I put on headphones to hear what I’m saying, the auto tune and other affects are not being played, just my regular voice. Would you happen to know how to fix that?
Hey there my friend. Check out this video for some information that may help you / ua-cam.com/video/y8YBONgt2lA/v-deo.html
Sound like you need to monitor your input from the mic?
Amazing like usual
Thanks my friend. Appreciate you. 👍
Pete Johns Can I ask you something? How do you export a song from Anytune to GarageBand?
Are we supposed to do recording with inbuilt mike of ipad or go via the input jack..please explain. How to go about it
Hey Mr Peter John, thkx for you knowledge
My question is ?? I would like to know, if I put a piano audio track on an mp3 that was already there, when I solo the piano by itself, even if I mute the pm3 track, I still hear very little of the pm3 track under the piano track. .. I would love when I solo the piano track alone not to hear the MP3 track of the same piano track ??
Hey there. So this is general caused by mic bleed or audio bleed from your headphones while recording. It’s hard to eliminate but you can generally reduce it. This video may help. ua-cam.com/video/EcI1tPC4P34/v-deo.html
Great video mate. Cheers.
Cheers my friend. 👍
Can you do a tutorial on how to record good vocals with a headphone microphone
Agreed
Hey there. Yes, I’m looking to do a video comparing mic types soon.
Hi , I am using shure SM 57 to record acoustic guitar but input signal is too low even after I make 100% gain in my audio interface steinberg ur12 please help
Yeah. The Shure dynamics and a quiet instrument do result in a pretty low signal I’m afraid. The UR12 has decent gain but a little lacking in this situation. You can try a condenser mic, a cloud lifter or an interface with more gain. studiolivetoday.com/gear
Do you think there is a way to use a stereo mic with iOS GarageBand? I don’t see this option.
It just turns my stereo mic signal into a basic mono signal.
Depends on the mic? If it connects via lightning or USB as a two channel input you should be able to just select it on two tracks and pan left and right? studiolivetoday.com/garageband
Hi Pete, when I open the input settings on my GB using an iPhone with a digital mic, I do not get the menu of settings you have. It only shows the Noise Gate option. I can’t get any monitor sound using my headphones . Can you help me?
This video might have some info that will help. ua-cam.com/video/8954811TrLQ/v-deo.html
I bought a lavalier mic for my iPhone, when I try to record on GarageBand with this mic I can’t hear de instrumental so I don’t really know when to start singing, it records without letting me listen to the beat, how can I fix this ?
You’ll need an adapter so you can plug in headphones to monitor the audio.
My Input Gain slider seems lighter in color and won't let me adjust it, and when I tap on the plug icon, the only things in the window that opens are Monitor and Noise Gate, and I can't figure out why. Any suggestions?
Yes some iPhones don’t allow the input gain to be adjusted so you’ll just need to vary your distance from the phone.
Learn about using plugins and EQ here - ua-cam.com/video/8954811TrLQ/v-deo.html
Pete Johns I should add that I am using a mixing board and going into my phone using an original iRig. that doesn’t have the gain adjustment on it. The mains on my board are all butt off, and I can’t get any volume at all without it distorting. Is that fixable in anyway?
Is there a way to specify which mic is being used? For example if I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a mic but would prefer to use the iPhone mic to record whilst still using the headphones? Love the vids and great thanks for all the information!
Hey there. So, most of the time the audio in/out is connected. So it can be hard to use headphones for one and a different mic. studiolivetoday.com/garageband
@@PeteJohnsMusic thank you so very much for the response! Hope you have a blessed day
Is there no way to operate this thing as just a normal DAW? Like no extra screens and bloated user AI stuff? Like full manual mode, just in the timeline?
I thought I was going to use Garage Band to do some recording but. I'm just going to install Cubasis...
Logic Pro has more of a “professional” interface and might be worth a look. logicipad.com/
I get a little ringing noise sound when i plug into Garageband into my Iphone from my Alesis Multimix 8 Usb. You know what that is?
Hey there. Possibly a ground loop caused by the electricity supply? Or maybe there’s some interference from another electrical item on the same circuit?
how do u change the mic input. Like I want to plug in my apple earbuds but whenever I do it always changes to the earbuds mic, I want to be able to listen with the earbuds but do vocals through the phones mic.
Hey there. You will need a paid of headphones that don’t have a built in mic. Once you plug in via the headphone jack (TRRS) ios will use the mic on the headphones. Jump on eBay and grab some really cheap ones. If you’re just monitoring audio you don’t need quality.
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks man appreciate you
I have the input gain turned to max but after I record the recording is super quiet, but I have my headphone mic really close. This hasn’t been an issue before so I don’t know why the input is so low now. Do you know if there are any fixes to this?
Hmmmm….. you might need to check that you’re using the right cables and that there’s no issues with the settings. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you so much for the reply! I will check it out!
Hello I was wondering if it’s possible to change the speed of the recordings once in the timeline
Unfortunately not. You’d need something like this. ua-cam.com/video/VbEzhygQqgw/v-deo.html
why is my recordings so low but when on other apps its loud and clear.
Yeah not sure sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
How can i change the input of the audio recorder? Normally it uses the stock ipad microphone but i want to switch it to my headset microphone. Do you know how can i do it? (the headset is connected to the ipad and it still usually use the stock microphone)
Hey there. If it is a headset with a TRRS connector and a mic it should simply default to the headset mic when you plug in.
@@PeteJohnsMusic it works but really randomly
Is this no longer possible on iPhone 12? I don’t see an option for input gain, and it seems to be set to automatic with no option to turn it off. I can’t change the input level. Any ideas??
Yeah, newer iPhones don’t have controllable input gain unfortunately. You would need an external mic or audio interface to control volume / ua-cam.com/video/Sc-_LiuqiRA/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic bummer
What if ur using Bluetooth headphones how do u get rid of the delay time to we’re u hear the sound I’m real-time not delayed
You’ll need to switch to wired headphones. Bluetooth headphones have built in latency that’s very hard to work around.
Thanks!!!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
How do you record on top of a downloaded track? I can download my vocals but for some reason when I play back, the instrumental I'm recording over is extremely low.
I actually figured it out. My 11 year old helped me 🤦🏾♀️
I don’t get audio from my phone once I plug my mic in, since I don’t have an auxiliary port in my phone and the audio won’t come from my speakers I can’t hear the music I’m recording over
Hey there. What mic are you using? This video should help you out - ua-cam.com/video/eGTbwR9XSHU/v-deo.html
Sounds like you need a TRRS adapter or perhaps an interface with a headphone jack.
Great video. I’ve searched and can’t find the optimal setting or selection in GB to record my trumpet over a backing track. Any suggestions?
Hey there. So, you can playback the backing track and then just record using the “Fun/Clean” track. If you’re using headphones you won’t pick up the backing track too much in the recording. studiolivetoday.com/garageband
When I open audio recording those filled in lines at the start won't show up, how do I make them appear?
Not quite sure what you’re asking sorry? This video might help though - ua-cam.com/video/A7bWMdMM9ls/v-deo.html
Please does anyone know if you can use the thunderbolt to Ethernet usb connector for this as well ?
Hey there. Yes if you have a USB-C hub or adapter and a USB-C based iPad. It won’t help with recording audio though.
@@PeteJohnsMusic okay so just like the one use use the thunderbolt to usb camera adapter .. yes I have an audio interface .. so I’ll use the usb hub powered to connect that.. I’m trying to think of a solution to do a live performance on like IG having just one device like an iPhone.. but I’m assuming with an iPad you can split screen right ?
The song plays through my IPad microphone and not the microphone that I have set up
Hey there. What microphone or interface are you using?
Same here, I can here the song I'm trying to record vocals for using just my skullcandy headphones mic, but when I plug this mic in and use a splitter to hear my voice, when I push record I can't hear my song playing
I don’t get the option to even pick “inter app audio”. Why is that?
Not sure sorry? Maybe you don’t have any IAA compatible apps on your device? studiolivetoday.com/GarageBand
What's the best app to record real audio?? like a piano??
which one gives you the best sound quality??
(for iphone)
Hey there. Great question! It’s not so much about the app, but more about the audio interface and microphone. However, you do want an app which lets you record 24-bit audio and control your input gain, which GarageBand does provide, so I tend to stick with GarageBand for convenience.
AudioShare is another app which has some great options if you want a standalone recorder.
Pete Johns
Thanks!! well I used this TAKE app which had a very good recording sound, but closed down, you can't use it anymore, So I tried BandLab and sounds like sh**t;
TAKE sounded 100 times better; So what would you say is the best free app recording sound?? (whithout micro)
Hey there. Are you looking for apps on iOS, Mac or PC my friend?
Pete Johns
oh for iOS... for iPhone;
I just want to put it on the piano and record
Pete Johns
like I said, this TAKE app after the default mastering used to give you a very decent sound.
(recording a piano or an acustic guitar)
Thanks
Hello sir, I was trying to record using my iPhone’s internal mic on garageband but I can’t adjust the mic input level but when I use headphones with mic built in I can adjust it. Can you help me? I prefer the iPhone’s built in mic because it sounds better than my headphones mic. Thank you.
Yeah unfortunately GarageBand removed the ability to change the input gain.
@@PeteJohnsMusic damn i also think the iPhone mic sounds better
With my mic it sounds like static on my voice
How could i fix?
Depends on the mic and cable. You’ll need to try different ones.
I have an iPad 9.7 (2018) and a lavalier mic, but my iPad won’t recognise it as a mic at all when I plug it in. The plug is TRRS so that isn’t the problem. The mic works fine with my iPhone 6s as well. Any suggestions?
Hmmmm.... that is a strange one? The iPad socket is the exact same configuration as the iPhone 6S so they should operate exactly the same. Have you tried any other TRRS devices in the iPad? Perhaps there is some crud in the socket preventing all the poles from connecting? Perhaps try this method and make sure the socket is clean.
ua-cam.com/video/W8zlSNs1-c8/v-deo.html
Pete Johns my headphones work fine with my iPad so I think it’s clean. And I should say, it recognises that /something/ is plugged in, it just thinks it is headphones
Hey Pete great video. Is it possible to use AirPods or any Bluetooth microphone for iPad GarageBand. I ask because I haven’t been able to find an article about it or find away recognize them. I would love your help with this.
Hey there Brandon. I haven’t personally tried it but I believe when you connect a Bluetooth audio device it simply becomes the audio input and output? Have you tried and it’s not working or just considering it?
The biggest reason most people stay away from Bluetooth for music recording is latency. Bluetooth had at least some latency (delay between when the sound is triggered and when it is played back) which can make recording very difficult.
Holaa, what can I do if I connect an external USB microphone through an adapter to my iPad Air and when I record my voice in Garage Band it records very well with the microphone, but to hear the recorded voice I have to disconnect the microphone because otherwise nothing comes out sound from the iPad. What should I do to be able to listen to it with the microphone connected? Thank you and blessings!!
Hey there Bianca. So, most USB microphones will have a headphone jack built in that you can use to monitor audio. If it doesn't, and your iPhone/iPad doesn't have its own headphone jack, unfortunately you won't be able to monitor audio. More details here - studiolivetoday.com/usb
Love your videos Pete, well presented and clear information. I don't seem to be able to delete sections of a track on my iPhone or IPAD in GarageBand? I can delete the whole track, but not a section, or cut or paste etc. Using GarageBand 2.3.8 and IOS 13.5.1 on iPhone 11 and IPAD. Do you have a specific video on it at all please ? I've selected the track, then the section I want to delete (tapping the section to bring the options up), selecting delete, but it just doesn't delete?
Hi there my friend. That sounds very strange? This video might have some tips that could help? ua-cam.com/video/hmAIPmauvps/v-deo.html
Let me know how you go.
Thanks Pete i'll have a look tonight, thank you
Pete Johns Pete thanks, I watched some of your other videos and realised I wasn’t pulling down on the scissors to complete the split. Not sure why sections of a track still don’t delete always, it seems hit and miss. But I am progressing and finding my way into the product thanks to you. Cheers Pete, keep up the good work 👍🙋♂️
Hi! Great video, I have a question. When I go to the audio recorder and want to level my input the slider seems to be blocked, as well as the channel button. Im recording with the internal mic of my Iphone X, any idea of what can it be? Thank you!
Hi there. Thanks for your kind words and for the question. Yes, when using the internal mic on an iPhone the input level is fixed and can’t be changed. I’m not 100% sure why this is the case now, it you’ll notice that if you plug in headphone with a mic, you can then adjust the volume. It definitely was able to be changed in previous versions so not sure if this is a bug and will be changed back, but for now we have no way of setting input gain woh the internal mic.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you so much for replying! I guess that's the case, I hope they fix it in the next update.
Yes, I’ve done some digging around and it seems that the input gain option is (and was) only available on iPad not iPhone, so may not be coming back sound. If you have ear buds with a mic I suggest experimenting with these if you are having issues with input gain.
Hi I am a GB novice so sorry for this basic question. I’ve recorded a guitar track using the internal mic. Now I would like to record a vocal or solo over it using the same internal iPad mic. However when I add a track and hit record, I don’t hear the guitar. Just what I am recording. How do I hear both when recording?
Hey there my friend. You should hear the playback of the first track as you are recording to the second track as long as you have them both active.
Suggest you take a look at this video where I show how to do exactly what you’re wanting to do here.
ua-cam.com/video/FiFerT4ULUw/v-deo.html
How can you record without being limited to a section? I noticed you can add bars to each section but then you loose the small incriments. Is there a way to keep the 8 bar incriments but have 1 continuous section ?
Hey there. Yes, I recommend using song sections as this will allow you to both zoom in to one section, but also zoom out and view all so you can m or things around. Check out this video for more info- ua-cam.com/video/Mtih_-0r3ho/v-deo.html
Hey mate, thanks for the video, so good! My doubt is about the microphone, when I plug the headphones to listen my guitar for example, it changes automatically to the microphone of the headphones, but I would like to keep capitation on the microphone of the celular. Could you help me?
Hey there. Yes, you'll need headphones that don't have a microphone built in, as all headset style headphones with a mic will automatically switch to this mic, and there is no way to disable this.
@@PeteJohnsMusic oh I gotta, thanks a lot! I was not find any reply for it, it´s crazy because sometimes I plug my Headphones and still capitation on the calular's microphone, but it is rare.
Yeah, sometimes if you plug it in only about 80% of the way it will engage the output but not the input and you can use it this way. I would recommend just getting a cheap pair of headphones without a mic however.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Genius!
Hi Pete, really helpful video, thanks. Is there a way to record in stereo rather than mono? Thanks
Yup, of you have a stereo audio interface you can record stereo, either separately on two tracks panned left and right, or by selecting the stereo option on the track

Hello, i have aux to lighting port microphone and when i turn on the monitor only iphone itself records audio, and when i turn it off back microphone starts to record audio. Also headphone have 2 aux input, one of them is for headphone. What should i do?
Hi there. What is the exact adapter and microphone you are using? This video might help you understand how this works - ua-cam.com/video/eGTbwR9XSHU/v-deo.html
Pete Johns hi, It was made in China and i don’t know exact manufacturer but i’ll describe it to you: There are two 3.5mm jack and one android charging port, also it has battery. Therefore i use aux to lighting port adapter because my phone doesn’t have 3.5 mm jack.
Gotcha. Yeah, it may be that’s it’s not compatible unfortunately. Some of those third party mics and adapters are a little inconsistent in quality and reliability.
Hi Pete, great videos. How do I shut off input mic, in garage band, for iPad Air 3, I’m getting a bleed after I’ve recorded my tracks, and mastered them. It recorded my wife talking to me, very frustrating? Thanks.
Hey there. It should only record if you have a track armed and recording so not quite sure what’s happening here. Might need to be a question for the GarageBand Users Facebook group. Http://studiolivetoday.com/gbu

Hi so I have an iPad Pro with no headphone jack and bought a USB c to headphone adapter. It seems like garage band recognizes this as a audio input even when I plug headphones without a mic. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
I don’t want to use Bluetooth headphones because of the replay and I do not have any
Hey there. Yes, I’ve heard this is an issue with the newest iPhones and iPads. An audio interface helps this so might be worth considering. ua-cam.com/video/Sc-_LiuqiRA/v-deo.html
Hi. I have connected my iPad Pro to my digital keyboard using type c to USB. I want garage band to record internally and not record external sound. But it is not happening.. What to do?
Hi there. So, this should work as long as the keyboard is standard MIDI. I only have lightning based iPads so not an expert on USB-C connections.
My input is not working, how do i fix it?
Good question? Would need more information though. I would provide more info and ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group. Or GarageBand Users - studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Why can’t i adjust the sensitivity of the microphone? :(
Yes, unfortunately it is not possible to adjust sensitivity anymore.
Hello Pete, so when I plug my mic in and turn it on - “Yeti mini” mic, all the music tracks dip down completely and even if you try to turn them up all the tracks are turned all the way down, I need to record and hear those tracks

Can u record while hearing your voice live through the headphones
Yes, use the monitor option to hear your microphone feedback live. ua-cam.com/video/y8YBONgt2lA/v-deo.html
why is that when i record with monitor on, my vocals are kinda delayed? any recommendations?
Usually this is because you’re using a preset that has “pitch control” on... turn this off and the latency should return to normal.

Great video Pete! How do you record longer tracks? I noticed after 8 beats the audio stops recording. I would love to record my Podcasts on my iPad Pro. Is there a way to record 60 plus minutes of audio on the iPad version of Garageband and if so how do I do it?
Hey there my friend. Yes, you can extend GarageBand to more bars using the method I show in this video - ua-cam.com/video/CSu90sxBVeE/v-deo.html.
It is not the best and most reliable recorder for things like podcasts. I tend to use an app called AudioShare for my longer form audio and then use GarageBand to import and edit if I need to.
I don’t have a mic I’m just using the speaker on my iPad but I record a beat off UA-cam while recording but then the sound will just be blank when I play it back. Do you know why this is happening
Hey there. I might need more information about how exactly you’re recording here? If you’re just playing back from UA-cam it won’t generally record this - just anything you are actually capturing.
Lol Hip killer

Usually you want a minor key signature and probably a slow tempo. ua-cam.com/video/UCh2qGjrP74/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic ok thank you so much!
Everytime I click audio recorder it doesn’t have a track, I deleted the app multiple times and updated my phone and I still have the same issue
Is this on a brand new project? Sounds very strange to me. Haven’t come across this before sorry.
Pete Johns yea it’s a new one, but with old projects it said core audio not available and so I deleted the app and reinstalled and nothing is working for me
Hey @Pete Johns also is there a way to change the sample rate from 44.1 kHz go 48 kHz?
Howdy. So, no unfortunately you’re stuck with 48kHz in GarageBand at the moment. The app I recommended in your other comment “AudioShare” supports different bitrate and sampling rate.
Pete Johns don’t you mean I’m stuck with 44.1 kHz because 48 kHz is not available in GarageBand
Yes! Apologies - 44.1kHz is the only supported rate in GarageBand.
how do you fix garageband not hearing anything when you record
Hey there. Depends a lot on what you’re using to record? Might be a good question to ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Pete Johns yeah it’s really strange, when i use the built in microphone, or my AirPods. there is no green to red voice monitor thing when i try to record my voice. but thank you for having time to read my comments.🙏🏽
Pete Johns also the track view has a straight line like it didn’t hear a single thing
Eric Cartman AirPods disable it for hearing voice bro
Hold Up Comments bruh😂 yeah my thing started working again it was because of ios 13
Hey Pete. I am trying to record vocals straight through the imac built in microphone and as i record vocals...on the playback you can hear the track along with the vocals. Yes i am using headphones...what am i doing wrong? Asking because i used to record just like this with no problem back in 2014...could it be because of an later version of garageband? Please help.
Hey there. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Unless you somehow have the other tracks routed through and back in to your recording track, it is most likely caused by audio “bleeding” in to the microphone.
I have a video where I talk about his and give some tips which I will link below.
ua-cam.com/video/EcI1tPC4P34/v-deo.html
Also the input slider does not slide up and down for me
Yes, they changed that on some models of iPhone and iPad. Not sure why.
M getting feedback when m recoding 2nd track
How to eliminate the feedback
Hi there. What sort of feedback are you getting? And are you using headphones to listen to the first track while recording the second? I demonstrate this in ha e video linked below which might help.
ua-cam.com/video/FiFerT4ULUw/v-deo.html
Whenever I try to go to input settings the only thing that pops up is noise gate
This video might have some ideas for you.
I fixed the glitch you have to use plug in headphones not airpods
How can I use my AirPods as a mic
Hey there. I don't really recommend it, because of latency, but if you have plugged in AirPods these should become your system audio for input and output and work with this.
What do I do if the In on the left Isn’t letting me do anything with it it not moving jus stopped workin outta no where.
Hey there. There is something odd in the latest version where the input gain can't be adjusted even with an analog input. You just need to record and adjust afterwards really.
Can you explain how to use the chorus mic?
Hi there. Yes, I'm overdue to do a comparison of all the different vocals effects and presets in GarageBand, so will add this to the list of future videos.
I don’t have the extra settings for my vocal recordings can anyone tell me y 😭
This video will help- ua-cam.com/video/ccn6hzAwIe8/v-deo.html
How do I mix well with Garageband
Hey there. Start with this video and work through some of my other tutorials. Should give you some good tips to make your mixes better. 👍
Pete Johns Ok bruh. Ty for yo tips too 🙏🏾
When I plug my microphone into my iPad all i can hear is my voice and it doesn’t record any sound to the iPad. I know my mic isn’t broken but I have no clue what else it could be. Can you help?
What sort of mic is it? Maybe ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
@@PeteJohnsMusic It’s a blue yeti. Thank you
my ipad does not want to pick up my microphone in garageband- it works in voicerecorder
That’s odd? What sort of mic are you using?
@@PeteJohnsMusic the built in one
That's odd? Have you tried turning up the input gain? ua-cam.com/video/gQcBw5Sp1aI/v-deo.html
Can we use the piano while recording our singing at the same time ?
Hi there. If you have a multi channel interface and a USB hub you can record multiple channels at once, including a MIDI keyboard.
Here’s a video showing how - ua-cam.com/video/ESmnF7jv92A/v-deo.html
Unfortunately you can’t play keyboard on the screen and sing at the same time.
Pete Johns
Well I see ..thanks :)
👍
What is your experience with the input settings? Do you use the manual or the automatic?
Hi there. Good to hear from you again. I tend to manually set all my input gain settings. The automatic is okay, but as you may have seen in the video, it can change the volume as you record meaning you don’t always get a consistent volume signal.
how do i record my own sound that i can use every time i open garage band
Hi there. What sort of sound are you looking to record? A small sample, a loop or a longer sound?
There’s a few options. You can record and export an audio file and then store this in your GarageBand folder. Here’s a video showing how to do the exporting and the importing.
ua-cam.com/video/pr_ZemTL3h0/v-deo.html

And here’s how to use the sampler to record and then use your own samples in your tracks.
ua-cam.com/video/hMzDgdxh27M/v-deo.html
Thanks for responding, maybe the length of a snare kick.
I will check out the links in your comment to help me clarify what I'm trying to do.
Nice one. Let me know how you go.
Yeah how do you get to audio recorder
Hit the “+” button and then select it as a new track.
I imported an mp3 instrumental from UA-cam. Every time I hit record the instrumental stops playing and I only hear my voice..I’ve messed around with it a lot and I can’t seem to figure out how to record my vocals on top of the mp3.
Hey there. Thanks for watching and for your question.
So you have the instrumental audio on one track and then a new audio recorder track for your voice?
Maybe check out this video where I overdub vocals on guitar and see if your setup is the same?
ua-cam.com/video/FiFerT4ULUw/v-deo.html
Try adding another track for the vocals separately seems like you maybe be recording in the same track as the instrumental you need 2 tracks to get it done properly one for your vocals and one for the instrumental.. I do this all the time so it should work 🙏
I need to find out how to use an aux cable to put into my iPhone so when I am recording I can capture the audio that is connected to the aux into my phone when recording! Please help me find out how to do that!
Hey there. You will generally need an audio interface in order to do this. Check out this video for details - ua-cam.com/video/Sc-_LiuqiRA/v-deo.html
The standard input on a 3.5mm TRRS jack includes only a mono mic input, not stereo line in. You can get a TRS to TRRS adapter but you would still only be able to input mono audio via the jack - ua-cam.com/video/za1-jPvjiMs/v-deo.html
Yep, if you use a TRS to TRRS adapter you can get mono audio in via the mic input.
I thougjt this was a video about hooking up a mic?
Howdy! There’s plenty of mic videos on the channel if you’re looking to select and connect a mic. studiolivetoday.com/gear
I’m not sure if this is a series for beginners or whatever. I’m just a professional simply looking for a change input button that you can’t even mention in the video. It would be good if you can just mention that somewhere during the start so I don’t have to watch the whole thing for nothing.
PS: I found it. Took ages for a button, and the thing doesn’t even seem to do anything for me. It’s just an unavailable button. Mic works fine, interface is fine. Only thing that is not working is this stupid garageband that is so praised upon but can’t even properly detect a microphone.
That's odd? What sort of mixer/interface are you using there? This video might help if you're connecting an interface and setting up channels. ua-cam.com/video/l3xDq-bnwK8/v-deo.html
Pete Johns Thank you for replying. I just solved the issue a couple hours ago. I’m using the Comica AD2. It turns out that I have to make a whole new track and it worked perfectly. A bit of a hassle but whatever. Sorry for harsh comment though, I was too frustrated looking for a button😢.
