Before you can kick-start your sensational music mixing using GarageBand in Life ’11 you need to know the basics. When recording with GarageBand in iLife, you can choose a Real Instrument and set as many effects as you want before recording into a Real Instrument track. On the other hand, if you’re unsure what type of sound you want, you can record into the track and then add effects and change the sound later (such as choosing a different amplifier or applying a pedal setting).

1. Ipad Garageband Change Input Source

Follow these steps to choose settings for a Real Instrument track:

1. Click the Info button (look for the i icon) to open the Info pane for the Real Instrument.

2. Click Browse to choose instrument types in the left column, and settings in the right column, which affect recording in a Real Instrument track.

3. At the bottom of the Info pane, set the input source from the Input Source pop-up menu.

4. Turn the monitor on or off from the Monitor pop-up menu.

   Turn on the monitor to hear yourself as you play your instrument or sing — you also hear the other song tracks as you sing or play. You should use headphones if you’re monitoring a microphone track.

5. Check and adjust the Recording Level setting, if needed.

   How to stop garageband from downloading. I only want a few drum loops but I can't prioritise them, it wants to make me wait until the whole sixteen gigabytes has gone through.I've tried a few things to cancel the download including straight up disabling WiFi but as soon as I start up Garageband it merrily carries on the download in spite of this.

   Red dots that appear on the right side of the Master Level meter while recording indicate that the recording volume is too high (technically, the audio input is clipping), and you should drag the Recording Level slider to the left to lower the volume.

6. To change the effects for the Real Instrument track, click the Edit tab at the top of the Info pane.

   Add another effect to the active effects for a Real Instrument track.

   Click the rectangle to the left of the icon for the effect to turn it on or off. The order in which the effects appear determines how they work, and you can rearrange the effects modules and thereby change the way they affect the sound, by dragging them up or down in the list.

   

Before recording, make sure that your instrument or microphone is connected and working. After selecting a Real Instrument type and setting, you can hear immediately the sound and any effects that are set up for the instrument by playing it (or by singing, if your track is for vocals).

Hold your iPad 10–20 inches (25–50 cm) away from your face, then tap the Face Control button. The first time you use Face Control, GarageBand asks for permission to access the camera on your iPad. As you play, open and close your mouth to move the wah pedal up and down.

Ipad Garageband Change Input Source

When you play your guitar or bass, a circle next to the Input Settings button lights green to show that GarageBand is receiving input from your instrument. If the circle turns red, lower the volume on your instrument to prevent distortion. Tap the Input Settings button, then drag the Level slider left or right to set the input level. Together with other free sound apps like Audacity, GarageBand has helped fuel the meteoric growth of podcasting by lowering the barrier to entry for recording quality sound. It's an intuitive and user-friendly app to record, edit, mix, and export podcast episodes with pro-level quality. May 10, 2011  I would like to buy a completely cool sound tool from Korg called the Kaossilator and ideally would like to connect it to my iPad 2, play the Kaossilator, and have GarageBand record the input. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea how I could pull that off. Any suggestions would be.
