Record Audio On Ipad Garageband

The world is your stage. This is your instrument.

GarageBand is a fairly capable Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that enables users to record and mix up to 32 tracks of audio. You can record an instrument using the iPad's built-in mic or using a recording interface and you can also record virtual instruments such as keyboards and drums provided in GarageBand. Once you've played with the Live Loops and worked out a sequence that you like, it's time to record them. To do this, press the record button at the top of the screen. You'll be counted in, then it's time to play the loops in the order you've worked out. When you're finished, tap the stop button at the top.

GarageBand for iOS makes it incredibly simple to play, record, and share your music, no matter where you are. Tap into a wide range of instruments from around the world. And now with the Sound Library, you can choose and download more free instrument and loop packs when new sounds are released, to help you easily craft songs in your favorite styles — all right from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

The moment you launch GarageBand, you can start making music. Play stunningly realistic Touch Instruments, instantly build big beats, and create music like a DJ — all with just a few taps. The all-new Sound Library lets you explore and download sound packs tailored to help you build your tracks with just the right elements for the style you want.

Live Loops makes it fun and easy to create electronic music. Simply tap cells and columns in the grid to trigger musical loops, and then build your own original arrangements. You can even use Remix FX to add creative, DJ‑style transitions with Multi‑Touch gestures, or just by moving your iOS device.

If you can tap, you can play.

GarageBand comes with beautiful and highly expressive Touch Instruments that sound and respond just like the real thing. Play keyboards, guitars, and bass, as well as sounds designed for EDM and Hip Hop. Smart Instruments make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note. And now you can explore the sounds of Asia with traditional Chinese and Japanese instruments, including the Guzheng, the Koto, and an array of Taiko drums.

When it comes to how you make your beats, the choice is yours — from jamming live on virtual drum kits to instant drag‑and‑done Smart Drums. The all‑new Beat Sequencer lets you easily build rhythms using sounds and a workflow inspired by classic drum machines. And Drummer gives you access to a team of virtual session drummers, each playing a popular electronic or acoustic style with a signature kit.

A deep collection of electronic drum sounds from a variety of genres can be stacked and layered to create your own grooves. Simply tap to activate any combination of steps on each track. Add or subtract to experiment in real time, all while the sequencer plays.
Virtual drummers representing specific genres automatically play along with your song, while simple controls let you fine‑tune their performance. Drummers can even listen to your riff and come up with the perfect complementary beat. And GarageBand now includes three percussionists who each have their own signature nine‑piece kits.
Tap out your groove on hardware‑style drum pads inspired by vintage beat boxes to create an electronic drum part.
Sit behind a virtual acoustic kit and perform your rhythms from a classic drummer’s point of view.
Instantly create a beat by simply dragging individual drum parts onto a grid. Choose the sounds you like and let ’em rip.

Plug in your guitar and choose from a van‑load of amps and stompbox effects that deliver the perfect feel — from dreamy soundscapes to stadium‑size rock.1 Our bass amps let you hold down the bass line with clean or distorted rigs modeled after vintage and modern amplifiers.

GarageBand includes Alchemy, one of the world’s most advanced synthesizers. Explore hundreds of Apple‑designed Patches, perfect for EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, Rock, and Pop music. Use the expressive Transform Pad to morph between sounds in real time, or just have fun using the simple Chord Strips that help anyone play like an expert.

Sound Library. Your all‑access pass to a world of sounds.

With the new Sound Library, you’ve got instant access to an incredible and expanding collection of free loops and instruments from right inside the app. Explore and download Apple‑designed sound packs that include Touch Instruments, Apple Loops, Live Loops templates, and instrument presets that will help you produce tracks in a wide variety of genres and styles. You can easily manage your library as it grows, and GarageBand will even notify you when new sound packs are released and ready for you to download.

Record A full recording studio. To go.

With its powerful and intuitive interface, GarageBand makes it easy to capture, adjust, and mix your performances into a finished composition. Build a complete song using any combination of Touch Instruments, audio recordings, and loops.

Work with up to an astounding 32 tracks with GarageBand for iOS.2 With a compatible third‑party audio interface, you can even plug in the entire band and record everyone simultaneously on separate tracks. Take multiple passes to nail your performance using Multi‑Take Recording — just choose any Touch Instrument, tap Record, and play continuously over a looping song section. GarageBand automatically captures each one, and you simply choose your favorite.

Fine‑tune your tracks and record each tap, swipe, and twist of the knobs. Draw and edit volume automation for precise control over your mix. And let the Simple EQ and Compressor keep your tracks sounding crisp and clear. For even more detailed control, take advantage of 10 track‑mixing effects directly from Logic Pro, like the Visual EQ, Bitcrusher, Vocal Transformer, and more.

Audio Unit Extensions let you use your favorite compatible third‑party instrument and effect plug‑ins right in your GarageBand song. Browse the App Store and download your selections from leading music app developers like Moog Music.

Apple's iPads and iPhones are great for listening to streaming audio, but they've not been great at recording it. They still aren't, but there are ways to make certain types of recordings that can be useful.


GarageBand can record audio, just remember to switch off the metronome first

This is not about recording tracks from Apple Music the way some of us used to use audio cassettes to record the Billboard Top 100 off the radio. However, it is about the ways you can record streaming audio, and even phone calls, when you're researching a topic or interviewing someone.
We're still at the stage where this is effectively a workaround, though, and there are privacy reasons why Apple will probably forever block the ability to record FaceTime calls, at least without the other person knowing.
Still, when you're trying to learn something from a webinar or a company group call, when you've got five minutes on the phone with an expert on a topic you're researching, this is what you do.

Streaming audio


You're going to find exceptions to this, so you must test it out before you rely on it completely. Broadly speaking, if audio is playing on a website, you can record it on your iPad or iPhone.
The very certain exceptions are services like YouTube and Netflix, which block recordings whether you're watching via their apps or Safari.

To get audio, record video. You can set up Screen Recording on iOS in Control Center

Yet, Apple's live stream of keynotes and financial earnings reports are fine, you can record them. There can be legal issues to do with making recordings or using them, but technically it all works if you do the following.

  • Add Screen Recording to your Control Center

  • Swipe down to get Control Center and then tap the Record button

  • Watch the stream

  • Tap the red Recording icon in the menubar when you're done



You'll get a notification saying the screen recording has been saved to your Camera roll. And there it is, a video of everything that was on your screen during the recording —and all of the audio too.
If the site blocks you, though, you'll know it right away because the recording ends and you get that notification immediately.

You don't want video


You have just recorded a video of your screen and we're only interested in the audio. For once in this audio workaround, though, it's to your advantage being on iOS.
You could AirDrop the video over to your Mac and open it in something like QuickTime Player. If you then went to File and Export As, you'd find an option called Audio Only.

If you bounce your video to your Mac, QuickTime Player will export the audio for you.

That would do it, but even without AirDropping, it's an extra step where the iPad can do it in one —if you have an app called Ferrite installed.
Ferrite is a basic recording studio for the iPad and it has the advantage that it can import video from your Camera roll, and discard the video.

Problematic


For the safest results, record your screen this way in chunks of just a few minutes each time. In our experience, you can record one half-hour webinar's audio fine and the next will suddenly cut off. Sometimes as you listen to it being recorded, you'll hear the audio cut out, but sometimes you won't know until you come to play it all back.
So as inconvenient as it is, start and restart the screen recording at intervals.

Research


The benefit of using Ferrite, and working with audio streamed over a website, is that this audio will be broadcast quality —or at least, it will be as high a quality as your connection, your app and your call can provide.
If you're just concerned with getting down what someone is saying, then you still want the highest quality recording you can because it will make transcribing easier.

You're just not always going to get that chance. Speakerphones were invented so that we could put our iPhones in front of them and use Apple's Voice Memos app.
And then iOS external microphones were invented so that we could do this better.

Take the call on your iPhone and, with the other person's permission, record it on Voice Memos on your iPad

At least the iPad is good for recording audio this way. As well as Voice Memos, you have Ferrite, and you also have GarageBand. Although GarageBand is expecting you to be singing lyrics so getting it to record more than three minutes, without a metronome, takes a little learning.

It's a workaround


It's good that the iPad and iPhone won't let nefarious people record your phone calls or FaceTime, but it stops all of us. We can't ever expect Apple to relax security, but we can hope for it to become an option.
And in the meantime, these iPhones and iPads of ours are great audio research-gathering tools.
