How Can I record Phone Interviews in Garage Band for a podcast?

Hello...I have a Blue Snowball microphone, IMAC, and Garage Band 3.0.2.
I would like to record phone interviews in Garage band and be able to keep the incoming call at a high enough and clear enough level. So I am not to loud and they are not to low.
This wil be or a podcast.
Please help, any ideas?
-Chris

There's cheap telephone interfaces at Radio Shack (you might do a search in this forum, they have been mentioned before) which plug into the Mac's line-in. Since the Snowball is USB, you can go to the Audio-Midi Utility and create an "Aggregate Device" that consists of your line-in and your Snowball - that way you can record the two sources to two separate tracks and adjust their levels independently.

  • How can I send and share a Garage Band 10 project to my bass player to add his part.

    MBP, OS 10.9.4 4G RAM
    Garage Band 10.0.2
    I have two tracks of a Garage Band Song Project, drummer and acoustic guitar.
    I want to send this project to my bass player to add his part. He also has GB10.0.2 After he would records his part he would send it back to me to add additional parts.
    What is the best/least complicated way to accomplish this while maintaining the integrity of the file(s). via the net, or the iCloud or Drop Box?
    Drop box seems very unfamiliar to me.
    thanks for the help

    Hello léonie
    I have tried your advice
    this DB folder icon does not stop spinning for several minutes and I can't do anything until it updates!?
    In the public folder I see the file, I then select compress, then I copy THAT as a public link, the actual file will not let me 'copy public link', but it will let me put it somewhere on Dropbox.com
    I select Copy Public Link, go to MAIL, new mail, paste link, send to myself as a test
    So, this is good now that I have tried it and gotten over the impatience of the Drop Box pull down menu updating.
    I have sent the file to my self and it has gone to the download folder on my MBP, this is good, I double click and it opens in GB to work on.
    DROP BOX??? How do I clear this stuff because it seem to update every time I do something with DB?
    I was not able to see how to 'clear history' or what ever.
    I know this is not an Apple GB question but it's all linked to the effectiveness of music production and collaboration.
    I am so please to receive your assistance and my bass player is too.
    Thanx

  • How can I record 2 tracks simultaneously in GarageBand for iOS?

    I am trying to record 2 tracks at the same time, one, a line in for my guitar and the other a vocal mic. I am using an Alesis i/o Dock with my iPad Air 2, everything is updated, and everything is plugged in correctly. When I select either track from the multitrack screen, I can see that both work appropriately. However, when I hit the record button, the screen goes from the multitrack view to the track that is 'highlighted' and the record process goes from there. So if the 'amp' (guitar) track is highlighted, the app take me from the view with both on it to the 'guitar amp' selection, showing the head that I selected. Now, in the past, I have recorded 2 tracks at the same time. I still have the original recording showing both tracks and their settings. Even when I try to match the setting (both were on Left Channel, for example) it doesn't work. On my recent attempt to record (the one this question is about) I put the mic track on Right Channel and the line in on Left Channel, and vice versa. I tried putting them both on the same thinking that maybe that's what I did before because the app might not be able to do both Channels at the same time. I tried using the Mic track in stereo and the Line In on Left and tried it on Right; nothing. Has GarageBand taken this feature out on iOS? I do see if I had a Mac there is an 'Enable Multirack Recording' box to check, but I don't see anything like that for iOS... Can anyone help??

    in one the YouTube Tutorials, it is not possible in iOS. but hopefully in the later version it should be.

  • How can Roland BK-7M interface with Garage Band?

    My MacBook Pro recognizes that there is a midi device connected to it, but in can't sort out what the decice is or receive a signal.  I've tried to upgrade the driver on the Roland but that doesn't seem to be happening either.  What settings do I need to adjust in order to get these two units to communicate with one another?  I need your wisdom.  Many thanks.

    Ben, do the letters RTFM ring any bells? There are hundreds of pages of tutorials at www.line6.com - check them first and then come back here if you
    are still stuck.

    I have an Apple 3GS phone. How can I record a telephone call?

    Sorry, not natively supported on a non-jailbroken iPhone, & there are no Apps that provide this capability for non-jailbroken iPhones. Apple is a US based company, & doing such is not legal in many parts of the US. That's why such is not supported.

    My son posted an album on Facebook; he took the pictures with a regular camera. I shared the album and it immediately showed up on my All-in-One computer and on my Droid phone on my Facebook timeline. It has never appeared on the iPad, so all my friends with iPads are not seeing this photo album. Do yoiu have any idea why?
    Thanks, Naomi
    I have discovered the same problem.  The timeline or group that the album is loaded directly to one can see the album and photos. However my habit has been to us my group as archive and then share the album with other groups saving me uploading several times.  If I look at on my desktop I and others like you see the shared album and friends with droid FB apo also see but ones with iOS FB app do not see the shared album be it on a friend/family member timeline another group.  I do not think this used to be, if almost seems that recent updates of the applicaion for iOS led to this problem but I am not certain. This is a big issue as I do not have time to upload and describe the same photos on the two to three other groups I share with.  I share your frustration, and there seem to be other things I do not see maybe it is all the shared photos/albums vs ones put on a timeline or group.  Not acceptable...

  • How can I record my roland V-drums on my Ipad as I listen to tracks already there?

    I want to make a few tracks in Garage Band (guitar, keyboard, bass) and then record my Roland V-drums along with them as I listen to the tracks. I want to use the audio out of the v-drums - NOT the MIDI. I'd like to do this with any generic line in, actually. What cables do I need, and how do I set this up in Garage Band? I have seen other posts allude to various methods but one question I have not seen clarified is: Will I be able to hear the other tracks on the Ipad as I play along with them?
    thanks,
    Paul

    Thank you, that did just what I wanted. It also works in GarageBand if you select guitar amp as an instrument. Select a clean amp for input and turn monitor on, and you can hear whatever you're piping in via the iRig along with the other stuff you have already recorded.
    For those who do not know what the iRig is, it allows you to connect a 1/4" jack from a guitar or other device at the other end, as if the iRig were an amp. You then connect the device to the headphone jack on the iPad. There is a small female end on the iRig for a headphone to plug into. This allowed me to set up a bass and one other instrument playing on the iPad as I recorded my drums.
    To record the drums, I created a track with the Guitar Amp as an input, selected a clean amp as the amp of choice (you can add effects if you like, but I just wanted as true a sound as I could get). There is an icon on the upper left hand of the screen that looks like a jack or a plug. Select that and turn the monitor on to allow you to hear the sound on your headphones.

  • How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

    How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
    It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
    Is there any way?
    devices:
    iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
    iPhone 5S
    Thanks!

    well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
    as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
    it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
    Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

  • How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
    In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
    Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
    Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
    Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
    On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
    Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
    Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
    If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
    Hope this helps.
