Garageband only recording my voice in high tempo

How's it going? Having a bit of some trouble here while trying to record a track using my logitech usb headset.
Everytime I record using this device, the recording ends up being really fast, so I guess in high tempo. I get the chipmunk basically, but when I record using the mac's built in mic I sound completely normal. I did not mess with any settings. My usb mic works for every other program on the mac so I don't think its the hardware. Is there something I'm doing wrong or something I can check? I'd really like to not record my voice using the built in mic.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Open the Audio/Midi Utility (in your Utilities folder) and make sure the Logitech's sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz.

    You have two basic options. One is to use a commercial screen recording app with access to system audio built into the app and the other is to add a system extension like SoundFlower that allows the QT X screen recorder to access/record the system audio. I use the former so I am not that familiar with SoundFlower but there should be several posts to this forum covering this topic.

  • Garageband won't record my voice or anything.

    A couple of months ago or may i say nearly a year, i tried out garageband to record my voice. Back then, I was a newbie to this whole apple MAC thing and applications like garageband. So i only would use it to record my voice and i also could change the vocal effects. It worked fine.  Then one day, i opened garageband and wanted to record me singing but it didn't work. There's a constant sound of a beat while i record and listen to it after recording. Also, the bar goes totally flatline when i record and listen. The ziz-zag line doesn't come up in the bar. I didn't know what was wrong, i tried to make it work but obviously that didn't happen. So, i left it like that and i didn't bother using it. Though, i want to start using it again for my singing but it still doesn't work.
    I would really appreciate some help.

    Assuming you want to use the internal mic - make sure it is selected as the audio input in GB's preferences.

  • Recording my voice

    Hi
    I'm brand new to using Garage Band so completely clueless.
    I want to be able to record my voice through the built-in microphone on my mac.
    How do I do it?
    Thanks

    I, too, am new to using GarageBand and recording my voice. And have several questions.
    I can record using the built in mic. But there seems to be lots of static or white noise. What settings should I use to eliminate that?
    Or is that just something that can't be avoided with a built in mic?
    I'm not sure if I want to get into the expense of buying a microphone and a mixer . . .
    Can you help?

  • I'm using GarageBand for voiceover and my voice is only recording in one track. How do I get it in stereo?

    I'm using a Bluebird mic hooked up to speakers and MAudio Fast Track interface.  I went to GarageBand preferences and set up the recording for MAudio and stereo but it's still recording in mono.  Any suggestions?

  • Recording my voice at a higher level

    Hi All,
    I am recording my voice for a podcast on garageband. I am speaking directly into my mic, which is attached to my computer. How can I record my voice at a higher level. The output is not loud enough and the "track line" is almost flat. How do I change it so I can record at a higher level!
    Thanks!

    You will need a mixer or a microphone preamplifier. The audio input on Macs is line level - for example the 'tape' output from a hifi - and is insufficiently sensitive for a microphone.
    Hi, Roger,
    I was looking at the Behringer Podcast Studio http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/481377-REG/Behringer_PODCASTUDIO_FIREWIRE_ PODCASTUDIO_FIREWIRE_Bundle.html#features
    and was wondering if this would work for a first-time podcast? Is it better to pick the items up piecemeal? I was thinking of the Behringer 1202 (Xenyx or UB) as it has 2 more (total of 4) XLR inputs and it's going for about $75. However, the Firewire audio interface with the studio package alone is going for *$77*. It seems that the combo would be more economical, but I don't want to sacrfice quality too much.
    Is a Griffin iMic USB audio interface (or a Behringer UCA202 - Low Latency 2 Input / 2 Output USB/Audio Interface with Digital Output) just as good at around $30?
    I already have a several mics, some XLR, some 1/4" jacks -- condenser & dynamic.
    Eventually, I'd like to record a podcast with around 3-5 people all doing a round-table type discussion.
    Thanks for any input, Deborah
    PS like the Behringer mixer because of the CD/tape input, also, so that I can digitize old cassette tapes.

  • IPHONE 5s w/IOS7 voice memo app not working - only records, but no option to play, save, edit

    IPHONE 5S W/IOS7 - VOICE MEMO APP  - CAN ONLY RECORD, CANNOT EDIT, DELETE, SEND, ETC.  TOOK TUTORIAL ONLINE AND IT SHOWED ALOT MORE FEATURES THAN I CAN LOCATE.  PLS HELP

    First turn off all caps it's considered rude and as if your shouting.
    try a reset, no data loss.  hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait until your phone boots back up.
    then check voice memo again.

  • Can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in?

    can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in or interface?

    Alas, poor Logic, I knew him well.
    Recording wise, It will be much the same as Garageband but you will need to read manuals as Logic doesn't set things up for you. You must choose input and output devices, create the correct tracks. Logic was designed for professional use so it expects users to be somewhat familiar with recording/editing techniques, in other words, won't hold your hand or be nearly as easy to use.

  • GarageBand doesn't record my voice properly. It plays it as if it had a helium effect.

    I have been asked to submit a voice recording to a regional company for education materials and I need an answer quickly, please.
    I recorded a sample on garageband and choice: real instrument, vocals, female basic to record my voice sample.
    It's been a long time since I've last used GarageBand and I did manage to get a normal sound from it. But now, I can't.
    It makes my voice sound like I breathed in helium. And I have no idea how to get rid of the effect. Can you please help me asap? Thanks.

    Have you checked the setting of the instrument, if you have an effect set?
    Select your vocal track, open the "Info" panel, and click the "edit" tab. Is there a distortion effect set, like "Vocal Transformer"? Then disable it by clicking the blue button.
    Check the same for the master track.  (Track menu > Show Master Track)
    Regards

  • Garageband 11 Recording on left side only?

    Hey Guys, I have a question and need your help in answering it. I have created numerous songs in Garageband 2011 using various loops but now its time to add real guitars, bass guitar and synths. I am using a Lexicon Alpha as my interface. When I go to a song and add a new track to record say my guitar onto, it records my guitar but it only records on the left side of the track and only plays back on the left side. I was told I need to change the track to record in mono: is this true and can you give me details on how to change it to mono? I want the guitar and anything else I record to record and play back on the left and right. Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

    Thanks isteveus!!! I will try this and let you know how I turn out. I think this will solve my little problem - it certainly makes alot of sense now that I have gone back and looked at my settings. Thanks again!!!

  • Recording my voice on GarageBand w/o an external mic

    On my old (dead) iBook I could record my voice in Garage Band just by speaking at my computer. No such luck with my new iMac. Any suggestions? Is it possible without an external mic?

  • Why does garageband only allow me to record a minute?

    I'm borrowing my Mom's Macbook so I can record my own music while I'm home from school. I have worked really hard on it and it is only recording up to a minute? Most of my songs are at least 4 minutes. Please help!

    I'm stumped. Has there been a change to your hardware or software setup? Have you tried shutting down and restarting your computer (in case it's a glitch)? If the answer to these questions is no and yes, respectively, maybe include a screenshot of your app.
    I find that selecting the Brush tool and clicking on the Stroke color swatch in the Properties panel allows me to freely sample from the color picker, the canvas, or anywhere on screen. I'm using FW CS6 on Mountain Lion, and have a non-Retina MacBook display.
