How do I record my band on garageband multi tracks

I want to record multi tracks at one time on garageband I have a Focusrite audio interface multi inputs, I need to record at least 3 tracks to start, can I arm more than (1) track without using the garageband labled tracks, like drums, guitar, piano,etc ?

You can create as many real instrument tracks as you like and assign an audio preset to them. Enable multitrack recording from the menu and select the different channels of your interface (up to 8) in the track info pane.

  • Record live band practice with Garage Band

    Any tips on how to best record a band practice with a single mic and Garage Band? It doesnt have to be amazing quality, just something we can post online to give an idea of sound. We have a sno-ball mic and a macbook. Thoughts are appreciated. The band is 8-pieces (yeah horn section) so thats why we just want to do the quick and dirty for this. Thanks!

    Last question:
    How is it that the flash recorders will work and not comp sound but the mic i'd buy for the same price and usb into the mac does?
    Reasonable question -
    Both will work, both can sound great, both can sound terrible.
    Recording into a computer is more complex because the computer does other things. Flash recorders only do one thing, so they're optimized for that. A million things can go wrong with a computer, but the flash recorders are dedicated (albeit limited) devices. They're small and reliable, and won't try to connect to a wireless network or write to a Spotlight database in the middle of a recording and crash.
    But they don't necessarily sound better than a computer.
    My Sony flash recorder will sound better than recording into a computer with a so-so interface and so-so mic because it has better audio components. The mic pres, mics, and digital converters in it are well made, so it sounds great.
    However, if I use a better interface, mic pres, and mic and record into my computer, that will sound better than my Sony recorder, but will also be harder to manage. If I just want to set up and record to a single (stereo) mic source, the Sony is way more convenient and sounds great. If I want the best sounding recording I can make, I'll use my computer, interface, and a bunch of outboard pres and mics.
    I think there may be some USB mics that are OK sounding. I know some people who use them and get good results. But generally, USB mics are not that great sounding. They combine a mic, a digital converter, and an interface into one inexpensive package. The snowball sells for around $100. I'm not sure how that divides among the components, but that's very little money that's gone into making the mic, converter, and interface. It lets you get up and running for cheaps, but it's so cheap that it's never going to sound all that great.
    If you spent a hundred dollars on just the interface, and a couple of hundred dollars on mics going into your computer, it will sound better than the snowball because the components are better.
    The flash recorder won't sound better because it's a flash recorder. It's just that if you spend around (picking random number) $300 on a flash recorder, it's dedicating maybe $150 towards the mic and pres, and $150 towards the recorder, optimized to work together in a dedicated device. That will outperform the $50 mic in the snowball.
    Your setup sounds like it can take you in two very different directions - one simple (one mic to record the room), the other complex (at least 8 inputs of interface/mixer to record the entire band). Since setting up the complex solution would be a big jump in price to get decent sounding equipment, it sounds like the simple solution might be a better way to start, for now.
    You could buy a small interface and a couple of mics and that would rival (or be better than some) flash recorders. But you'd still be looking to upgrade to a more flexible interface for the whole band. And you'd still be paying a couple of hundred bucks. Still - you shouldn't rule that out. Maybe buying a small interface and a couple of mics would be a good way to start. A gateway drug to a bigger, more flexible interface.
    Or, for the same money that you'd pay for the small interface and mics, if you're still thinking of just plopping a mic down in one place and making a simple stereo recording (not multitrack), you could get a flash recorder which will not only work for now, but will continue to be useful to you even after you get a larger interface and expand.
    Flash recorders are always good to have around. Just being able to take something out of your pocket and record, fast and easy - that's always useful. And since you're talking about recording from one spot, why deal with a computer, wires, setup, hard drives, mic stands, a chair to put the computer on, a power cable from the computer to the outlet, someone walking into the cable, the computer falling off of the chair, the hinge on the screen breaking, everyone getting mad at the person who knocked the computer off the chair, that person feeling really bad, dropping out of the band, getting depressed, wandering around Lafayette Park in a chicken suit, getting in all sorts of trouble... it's just a slippery slope.
    However, no one solution is intrinsically better than the other, or intrinsically better-sounding. Both will work, both can sound great, both can sound terrible.

  • Simultaneous Multi Track Recording

    Ok, Hi there fellow GB Users. I have a question here reguarding recording live audio.
    I want to record our band live, with seperate tracks for each musician. I know that you can use an aggregate device to setup usb headsets and mics and such, but what I want to know is if anyone knows of a INEXPENSIVE Multi Input hardware. Either Firewire or USB preffered, or maybe even Opticallink.
    So, I have used GB to record the musicians one at a time, overlaying a new track along side the others with great sucsess.
    There are things like http://www.presonus.com/ but I am looking to do this on the Cheap. starving musician here
    I don't mind building something if you know of a kit, or something else I can do.
    I also wondered if anyone doing this already could tell me what they are using, and aslo how many tracks they are ale to record at once with thier respective setups.
    I have a MBP with a 2.53 with 8gb of 1066mhz memory.
    I considered using a usb hub with a handfull of usb sound card dongles and using the mic inputs.
    I know that I am asking several questions here, I am hoping to start a discussion here on this and related topics.

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)

  • How to make a single recording into multiple songs garageband

  • How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

    How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
    I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
    I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
    By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
    Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
    Thanks a lot for your time.

    I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
    Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
    That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood

    How do I use Garage Band to practice my guitar against lesson CDs and backing track CDs

    GarageBand on your Mac or on an iPad?
    If you are asking abot GB on a Mac you do the following:
    Create a new GarageBand project with a Guitar track
    Insert the CD and drag the audio file of the Lesson track or backing track to an empty region below the tracks in the timeline of the GarageBand window.
    Plug in a set of head phones and put them on to listen to your backing track.
    Plug in your guitar and select the guitar track.
    Click on the measure where you want to start your recording and select the guitar track.
    Press "record" and start to play.

  • 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 record 2 channels at the same time?

    I want to record a mix using my decks. I would like to record the two channels from the two decks separately (so if I fluff a mix I can have another go at it).
    How can I set this up? My mixer only has one channel output, so would I need a different mixer or is there a way I can rig it up with the Mac and GarageBand?
    iMac24   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    sorry if i wasn't clear. Yes it does have a stereo out put but my idea is to record the left deck as one track and the right deck as another. Then if I stuff a mix up I could pay back one track and record the second again.

    Let me be sure I understand what you need. You want to connect an audio device to the Audio In port of your MBP and record its output with the MBP.
    If that's correct, what you need is audio editing software. You can use GarageBand, which probably came bundled with your MBP, but it's a bit heavy for that purpose alone. A better tool is the free audio editor Audacity. It's powerful and cross-platform, which means that it's a little rougher around the edges than is usually the case with Mac software, but you can't beat the price. There are others (Sound Studio, Amadeus Pro, TwistedWave, Wave Editor, and more), but you can get going with Audacity.
