I've said for years that you don't need a "real" recording studio to make radio-ready recordings.
A modest home studio setup will do the trick just fine.
But a buddy of mine asked me "Do I even need studio equipment or microphones to record? Can't I just use my iPhone?"
The question made me pause...CAN YOU make a record on an iPhone? And nothing but an iPhone?
I decided to find out.
You can now download or stream this actual recording anywhere you get your music! Here it is on Apple Music: itunes.apple.com/us/album/wandering-man-single/1353112474
And then on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/1vEUzLKHCScYfiN1c2PkV7
recordingrevolution how did you get that song on Apple Music from your phone
recordingrevolution I made a song on GarageBand I’m gonna see if it can make it on Apple Music
Dude, this is a powerful song!!! As soon as I noticed this Is a Christian song, I started tearing up. Thank you for this song.
Love your talent! Want to hear Air One or Klove play this!!!
This song is soo! Good. I want to cover it!!
Lesson here: If you're a good Musician and have a creative mind, then you can create good tracks on anything!
👍👍👍
Needed this, thank you
Yes
Yup!!! Trade secrets.
Even on paper?
This just goes to show that I am really getting in my own way. I have songs that I'd like to record and keep thinking "I need all this equipment, but before I can afford that I gotta get my car fixed, and pay these bills." thanks so much brother.
Yea bro me and my friend have been making music off my friends iPhone for the past year and he’s still using it now. It’s actually really fun
@@abelcastro4813 y’all niggas share an iPhone lmao 😂
What instruments do you need for a full song?
This hits close to home as it draws into sharp focus that the most important thing to creating songs is knowing how to write good songs. As a gearhead, I get caught up on labels and equipment rather than focusing on creativity and craft. Good on you for throwing this gauntlet down-and kudos to you Graham for putting in the work to become such a wonderful musician and teacher!
Anybody that grew up recording on 4-track cassette recorders always had friends who also had them. But there was always that one dude who’s recordings sounded so much better than everyone else’s.
Music has no limitations, it knows no excuses, and can be found at anytime, anywhere. Thank you for reminding us of this Graham.
Yes!
This is positioned to go viral
Agreed.
agreed, this was incredible
agreed. this is the shit that earns respect. make good music with bad equipment.
I agree 100 percent. This one is going to blow up.
Times like these I wish I could count the before and after subscriber count.. I guess it's not too late, 383.6k now.
Go Graham go!
You just make this look way to easy, this song has a pretty good hook, you have some really great talent
Holy smokes! As a 52 yr old that lived through the 70's/80's where iconic studios like Electric Lady and Muscle Shoals Sound down here in the South, your video absolutely floored me. This technology will open up doors for talented musicians all over the world. I remember being a long haired teenager in the early 80's, sitting in my bedroom and dreaming of one day laying down some tracks. This technology will make that dream come true for the next generation. Thanks for doing this video. Apple should be featuring (and paying) you.
Right on, man. Crappy studios for the win!
Haha. You know bro.
Is this the first time you've EVER replied to someone in the comment section of one of your videos? We makin' history here?
C-Threep Music I think Graham is inspired by your video on making music in the car! Really ridiculous..! 😁😁
This comment hit home for me lol. Yeah for crappy studios!
First time in a long time :-)
I recorded few of my songs just like that. People didn’t believe me, but man, affording an eguipment for a home studio is not cheap. So thanks to modern technology you can make music with only a phone and a headphones. I’m glad I watched this video :)
What a great song!!! I love the simplicity and the object. The Lord is proud of you and your servant's heart. Thank you for the inspiration.!!!!!
I've never heard such a cool song about Jesus before. Jamming this all day :D
Agreed!
Yes, this is actually a really great song. It’s different.
Wow the quality of the microphone is unbelievable.
CovryDelane Yea wtf I need my quality to be like that how he do it
Aczell use your headphones and then the quality will be better
sferka Mega ohhh shiit thx g
Mac Daddy you can clean up the recordings a lot in post with the compressor and eq in the mix.
You never run out of surprises Graham... I must say this, You are a true blessing to millions out there... I am privileged to be among them.
Thanks a million
I had NO idea this kind of thing could be done!! I'm a classical singer and now I can record at last!! So blown away I cried a bit, thank you thank you thank you!!! XXX
Thanks Graham. The power of GarageBand iOS is just amazing and this showcases just what can be done without any gear. No excuses! 🤘
Best Apple iPhone advertising that I see till now ! They should pay you million dollar already !
Haha. I’m down for that
They should!!! I vote for that. Hope abundance comes your way. 🤘🏽
This is the coolest thing you've ever posted bar none.
"Im going to use nothing but my iphone..
-picks up guitar"
?
He clickbaited
Mira RECORDING a song with only an iPhone. A guitar is an instrument not a Abbey Road echo chamber
@@Scrapyy with ONLYYYYYYYYYY an iPhone. Understanders will understand
Otherwise, I could mic an entire 8-piece drumkit, a guitar cab, a piano, even an orchestra. He even started using VST instruments, so that was creating an expectation of a guita VST too.
Well no, no he didn't, he still recorded, edited and mixed it on nothing but his iphone... that's like saying "Ope he recorded his real voice for the vocals! That's clickbait!"
Man, you should win a Grammy for this.Just simply amazing. Nice song too.😀
Apple should pay you for this !!
Haha. That would be nice.
You mean, Apple should take 50% of all the money and following he gains from this video right off the top? Because the platform is at least half the work in the music production, right
CortMarshal What I meant was if you are skilled enough you can even make a pig fly !!
Yeah, and while they are at it, they can put the headphone jack back! I noticed Graham didn't mix the track using AirPods...
of course!
Graham don't ever stop being true to what you do and who you are. Been watching you for a few years now and it's great to see someone who is genuine and talented like yourself, right on!!!
Thank you for all your hard work. Love that people who search your videos always get to hear that GOSPEL message. Keep up the good work.
I heard them drums and i was like ‘at least he tried’ then those vocals come in and it’s like ‘oooooh wow you can actually do this’
Awesome Graham. I've been preaching the power of GarageBand on iOS for years and I think it's finally poised to go mainstream and be taken seriously as a legitimate recording platform.
Pete Johns ya ofc man I mean Steve lacy uses it and he is one dope producer
Pete Johns Same here!! I’ve actually transferred almost all my projects from my comp to my iPad Pro, hardly using my computer at all! Sure, the iOS version has its limitations and some basic features are missing like cross fade, automation panning etc but it’s got everything I need and now with 24 bit support and a decent interface it’s really powerful! So smooth on the 10.5” compared to the 9.7” pro model; all the super annoying “optimizations” are gone and the zoom in effects when holding on one end of a section is actually smooth lol Can’t wait for the next major update!!
Especially with the newer updates!! I love it check out some of my songs with GarageBand vocal recording on SoundCloud @ O*Ry*N*
Yeah these results are really good. It is at least a killer way to make demos. Especially if you use Logic Pro X as it is really easy to import mobile GarageBand projects into it. You could lay down a basic demo on your phone and then import it into Logic Pro to finish it. Really powerful stuff.
No
Still sound better than my home studio demos.😅
Алан Салпагаров same here 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂
Recording evolution with a Spirit filled song!!! Nice!
I love how I found this a year after struggling to cope with making songs on Garageband.
Only getting better at it now and used to it, I find this video. Great xD
You can feel the pain that I had hehe.
How is it going now?
@@WarryWho
Havent used it in awhile, school is taking me away from it and also i have songwriters block so lol
when you jumped in on the vocal "there was a man..." it was funny 😂 good song, though. _Good_ Word. thanks for sharing.
Lol. Glad somebody else had this same reaction. Good song though, pretty impressive.
That’s Apple doing what they do best…making devices geared for creative people. Keep serving the Lord with your music! Just inspired me to make my album
I did this a few a few months ago not knowing What in the world I was doing it was my very first experience using GarageBand in doing anything like this and I can’t even believe that this song got heard on Twitter and has been circulating around UK Internet radio stations and Las Vegas for the past three months who knew
Wow. Just wow. You did an amazing job!!
Beautiful demonstration that we can make music in all circumstances and that the constraint does not prevent creativity :)
Wow. GB for iOS is no joke. Graham, I listened to the full production to compare and actually prefer this one! Lol. Great song brother.
Ive had multiple songs in my head for over ten years now I’m so happy the technology is here I can’t wait to get my songs recorded. Thank you for the video!!!
This is the type of thing C-Threep would do XD Great work Graham!
This is incredible!! I can't wait to try this challenge, I had no clue it was possible! Thanks for sharing!
Tbh I never knew you was Christian and its great seeing people sing for the Lord
oof
Same I was 😁
Crazy vocal dynamics and great performance. You are a great songwriter .
Man. That bassline is SLICK!
Yeah. Great part writing everywhere. Guitar in the chorus working really well too.
hi! thats how i do all my songs for my channel. I literally either use Garage band or I use an app fro singing. I use my apple headphones mic and thats it lol it takes a while, but people seem to love the results.
sarah Burchett I cant seem to get the static for the vocals, if anyone could help me.
@@TheAlexJimenez pop filter I use a small one and hold it in front of my mouth before the earpid mic also put some rubber or styrofoam panels in the wall where you're recording record in the middle of the room avoid corners
What app do you use for singing?
I just recorded a cover song on my iPhone a couple days ago. However I did use an external mic for the vocals and also used an iRig to record a direct signal of my electric guitar. Did the mixing on the iPhone and I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
Sold. I'm in. Subscribed, pdf downloaded, So far so good. I'll give it a try. Thanks Graham.
Wow that's depressed the life out of me! Better than anything I can do in my home studio with mics etc :(
Wasn’t try to depress you - but inspire you! ☺️
recordingrevolution I know Graham, you’re one of the best on here, I’ve followed you for years. My mixes aren’t getting any better, I do too many broad moves, plus I kinda rush the recording stage too, I still can’t get my acoustic to sound decent :(
I know the point is to NOT spend a ton of money on gear & software but you might find this helpful:

Scoot over!!!
i started off making songs on my lg g3 and i shocked everyone, it was really good, I since moved on to studio equipment thanks to the recording revolution. Keep inspiring buddy
I also have an LG G3 (and an iPhone 8 Plus). I still love my G3 and the built-in mic is surprisingly good and the audio chip is also really good! I even like its camera more even if it's technically worse than the iPhone's.
Is this like 1%hardwork and 99%editing🤔☺️
It was a great video sir
You are great
Been recording for years on my iPhone. Recorded vocals, guitars and bass with and without an interface like Apogee's Jam and Mic and gotten great results - created radio/Soundcloud/iTunes-ready songs. Nice video re the process. I have always used my phone as the musical equivalent of a painter's Bijou box - a portable studio, sketch-pad and demo producing device. I use my phone to capture ideas, transfer to my laptop and into Logic to build upon.
You’re a wizard, Graham. This is awesome.
Great to see you trying this! The internal mic has a auto gain and high pass filter on it. You can turn that off in some apps. AUM is a great mixer app. In the settings of AUM you can turn on the “High Quality” setting. This will give you a lot more low end as well as get rid of auto gain that will help you with room noise. For this to work make sure to open AUM first, then it will have control of the audio system. You can then feed AUM into GB via inter app audio. There is also quite an advance ecosystem of plugins on the App Store. Shameless plug: I am the developer of “Goose EQ” a very simple to use yet advanced EQ Audio Unit plugin that can be used in GB or any iOS DAW. Please give it a try. I would love to see you explore the audio apps on iOS some more!
Thanks for the tip! Lucas Goosen!
EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!
It's funny that you used the word "ridiculous" because I haven't even finished watching the video and that's the word I was going to use. And I'll use it now - it's ridiculous how good this sounds. Really crisp and the kind of song I think most people wouldn't be able to guess was recorded on an iPhone. This video is inspiring. Thank you for making it.
Graham, the video is really good but I just wanted to let you know that you created one of my favorite songs of all time with Wandering Man. You are such an inspiration in every way, keep up the great work, mate! 😇
I was doing the exact same thing, but with laptop mic. You can do a lot of things for not a lot of money these days!
I wonder how can I connect a mic to the iPhone
Alexandra Rojas the Apple earbuds mic is really good just don’t put your mouth so close to it and have a quiet background ❤️
I want to thank you so much for making this video! I have been told by everyone high and low that there is no way to record quality music with anything less than an interface, mic, software and headphone and that I’d at least have to spend about 300 to do anything. You just showed proof and inspired me to try this challenge and I’m so excited!! I have an iPad Pro and iPhone and Garageband so from watching this I am confident that I can make music!!
Graham, you are awesome. Probably the best of the online DAW teachers. I learned a lot from you after I bought Studio One about 12 years ago. I realize that this video is a few years old, but I just shared it with a DAW newby to encourage him.💙
I remember a band called "One like Son" recording an album back in 2011 using an iPhone 3S, but they did use a few bits of outboard gear to connect miss and guitars and the like. Apparently they were beaten to it by a band called "Nuclear O'Reilly" in 2009, but their album was electronics, which I guess is easier to put together with just a phone.
That was actually pretty damn good
I can not believe you pulled this off. The vocal sounds amazing. I’m sold on your super hero capabilities now . Lol awesome. Haha
Graham, your the man! Thank you again.
You always prove that the music we produce is about "the feel" and kowing how to aproach recording and mixing, not the gear we use (well, unless you can afford it! lol).
Buy the courses of this guy, you'll be amazed with what you can learn from him... (and no, I don't know Graham in person and I do not get any money to post this. Is just my opinion).
Killer bassline
Thanks! That's my favorite part.
Graham as a bass player I can only say I couldn't have done it better.
Amazing video. I thoroughly enjoy the consistency in the aim of this channel, which is to get people to record and produce their songs at home! It has really transformed the way I view music making; instead of excusing my lack of progress and creation with made-up technical roadblocks, I know it's down to me to started making my own tracks.
Yes! This is exactly why I make videos.
Thanks so much for this video! I downloaded your guide...I've been a musician since age 10--play piano, keyboard, guitar and sing and am also a songwriter; have been told that I was "prolific." I was watching how you recorded the song as far as editing--it was really interesting because the one time I recorded a demo CD, it was all instruments first, vocals last and I STILL hated the finished product, thinking, "I paid $100 for THIS?" that was in 1999 and $100 for a 3 song demo was money wasted. Now currently unemployed, :( I'm remember jamming with musicians, some of them prominent who've asked me, "You have such talent, why on earth are you NOT letting it show?" I'll just say that if my application of what I'm learning from you proves not only successful but the dream that I'd abandoned for AGES(having been told by my parents that it was nothing but pie in the sky), I'll be more than grateful for this door you've opened for me...I already am!
This put a new confidence in making music for me! All I have is my iPhone so I thought GarageBand would be a really great baby step into producing, and you proved that!
I love the Christian lyrics of your recordings, God bless you brother!
Rafael Audi That’s my least favorite part
Falling In Zero Gravity lmao
musical fetty okay, thanks
Agreed. The lyrics of this song just keep spinning around my head.
That bass line though 🎸💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥🙌👍
Super inspiring!!! That’s the main reason I got an iPhone was for garage band... I’m hoping to grab an Irig 2hd for my guitar but hearing what you’ve done with just the mic on the phone is phenomenal!!! Got to go try it!!!
Had no idea I was about to be able to listen to a song praising the Lord. Made an already cool video even better/greater/sicker/sweeter. Awesome job man.
Dude, when the vocal came in, I said no way!!! HAHAHA. Thumbs Up, Bro!!!
This proves my problems aren't my mixes or my mics it's that I'm not good at arranging or production which no one really teaches I wish you would do more videos on how you build out a compositions because my chords and vocal mixes just don't cut it.
I want to know how you come up with what to add and where.
You’re on to the truth. Songwriting and arranging are more than half the battle
That song is actually pretty good good job
This song was a blessing, I need to try this I’m stepping back into songs writing
Dang, that's really impressive!
incredible
this was the best argument for not needing to spend a lot of money on recording equipment you could have possibly done. It sounds like a professional recording for f-sakes
No it doesn't
Yeah man you smashed it with that tune. iPhone or not that’s a banging tune . I’m glad I watched it . I’m only a novice at producing but garage band app is so easy to use but the version on the iMac is a lot harder to use especially if you don’t know what you doing but luckily I’m a quick learner . I’ve banged out about 10 tunes .I’m a drum n bass old skool scratch master DJ so I have a good ear and that tune you came out with sounded the nutts . I got some good tips aswell thanks a lot mate . Keep up the inspirational vids 👌👌👌👌👌
DJ Rocksteady.
I was surprised when I heard the song since it sounds just like the version from 2015! it's a really impressive recording, other than the chorus guitars its really pretty hard to tell the difference
I was surprised too!
Great stuff man, that's truly a Recording Revolution
Great Job Graham! There’s very few people that understand the power of GarageBand in the IPhone. Even if it’s used for music production. I’m very impressed sir.
Awesome! God bless you. I love your song. When I heard this, I started singing about Jesus and then I heard you come in talking about Jesus! This is great! The spirit of the Lord is upon me, yes!
Wow, what a song! Great job, man! I'm inspired already: we are about to recording a worship song with my churchmates using our phones while we have to stay home. This video gave me courage to take the challenge! Thanks Graham!
Great song... great message... great mix... Thanks
Sick groove man, love everything you do, love your faith, love your talent, just such an inspiring dude ❤️ God bless
^
Holy shit that was freaking mind blowing! I have an iphone and ipad and am totally amazed by this song and the complexities. and the microphone and vocals are freaking insanely awesome! I wish I can sing like that bro, You are a star!
Mo Hazan watch out for the Jesus police here, you using that foul language and shit :) this is not an actual recording challenge or a GarageBand tutorial but a cleverly disguised excuse to force some good ole’ holy word down some unsuspecting throats
Love the song especially the sentiments in the words of the song.
I use Apple's "Music Memo"'s App (Free) and record in and it will figure out the bpm to bring into garageband. its amazing and i use it in place of Voice Memos
Lets make this go viral! Good and inspiring Job Graham.Big ups to you Mate.
This song was better than I thought it would be, good shit bro💯
I'm an upcoming recording artist and I work full time at the moment so I was looking to see if I can start recording music from home. I found this video, and thank you so much for it! Awesome sample song; I feel like it was made for me.
Amazing job Graham!! I think you could make a great sounding song no matter what you used.
That's the goal!
Muuuusiicc Graham. Point is there should be no obstacles in achieving something. Thanks!
Oh wow. Inspired to try it out! I've been having iPhones and GarageBand on them for years, and never realized the potential!
P.S.
Love the song, fellow brother in Christ!
Found your page through a friend as I was posting some of my GarageBand stuff, and I'm SO glad that you are a believer in Yeshua! I'm now a subscriber and can't wait to hear more! G-d bless you richly!
I think one of the coolest things is that you write godly music. I think that’s awesome
Bro, great song! Mission accomplished, too. You’ve inspired me to use what I have to go ahead and start doing some recording I have been putting off, because I didn’t think I had the right equipment in my bedroom studio. I have some decent equipment, including some pretty good mics to upgrade from the built-in mic in the iPhone, but I was thinking that I needed to get a more recent multi track recorder.
oh man you're literally the best...this is supposed to go viral...I'm sharing this with everyone..
Wow! Pure talent and very inspiring. I’m learning to do covers with Garageband on my iPhone since I don’t have a computer.
The song you created was by far better than decent was awesome!
Thank you
God bless you brother
Way to get the gospel out and help us wIt’s making dreams reality
Your amazing brother I was feeling so down just trying to figure out ways to buy all this expensive recording equipment to get professional sounding recordings but I realized I had a headset and an iPhone so looked up if this was possible and here you are man setting me free thank you so much.
Right now I’m using a Motu M2 interface for my starter guitar into the standard GarageBand sims over the stock virtual drums and bass (via the keyboard), vocs into the Apple plug-in headphones, into an iPhone 7. With the right adjustments and layering the sound quality is ridiculous! I’m going to have to video it as done here, because no one believes it
Love the lyrics here!
