How to use Garageband to record interview

We want to record an older relative talking about family history, and people have recommended using Garageband.    I have it on my iPhone 5 but wonder exactlly how to use it.  Has anyone done this?  I have tried recording myself with the microphone icon but have not been able to find the recording or to play anything back.

Hi tingold1,
GarageBand on your iPhone is one way to record your interviews, particularly if you want to be able to do a lot of editing on the resulting sound file. See this page for an introduction to GarageBand -

Anoterh application which can do simple sound recording is Voice Memo. See the iPhone manual for assistance with this -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to use GarageBand to learn guitar

    Hello,
    I'm just getting started learning guitar using Stefan Grossman's instructional DVDs. I was wondering if anyone has a tip or two for how to use GarageBand to support the learning process.
    Thanks.

    Garageband can help in several ways. Here are some tricks...
    Get a mic and record yourself to see how consistent you are with tone and timing.
    Drag an mp3 file for one of the songs you are performing into garageband and set up the project with the correct bpm. Use arrangetrack to break the song into sections (i.e. intro, verse, chorus, outro etc). Turn on the metronome so you can time yourself. Focus on a section at a time and turn on looping as you record. Initially drop the bpm to 50% and increase by 10% when you mastered each bpm level. Keep recording takes until you nail it and save your best take. Eventually you will reach 100% bpm and have excellent takes for each section of the song. Be consistent in your set up and mike placement so each section sounds the same and the entire song is a masterpiece. Learn rhythm first and get a solid rhythm track. Then add a track for melody and if your really gutsy go for some harmony on top of it all. Finally export your final song to iTunes and listen to yourself. Let friends hear it as well. Youll be surprised what kind of quality you can produce and the feedback you get will be great/

  • How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?

    Hi All,
    How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?
    I want to display a <NEW RECORD> conditionally. The condition will be based on the data coming through from the xml file.
    Please help me with an example. The BI User guide also doesnt show any examples.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can use vb coding in BEx Analyser to calculate your unit price. For this you have to first display the attributes of your object "XYZ". Then you can use VB cosing to calculate the value for the unit price field.
    One more thing cna you clarify whether is it display attribute or variable ?

  • How to use Quicktime to record video chats (Skype, Google  Hangouts)?

    Hi, all,
    I'm making a movie that includes an interview of someone who lives out of state.  Thanks to modern technology, I can interview her without either of us having to travel farther than our computers.  But, thanks to modern technology, shouldn't there also be a way for me to record this interview for my movie?
    I've figured out how to use QuickTime Player to take a screen recording that includes the audio from the computer, but there are several problems with this.
    I downloaded Soundflower, set the Sound Output to "Soundflower (2ch)" in my System Preferences, then went to QuickTIme, where I started a screen recording and set the Microphone to "Soundflower (2ch)".  With a test run using music, I was able to capture the moving playhead and the audio.  The audio was pretty good, but not quite as good as if I were just listening to the music normally.
    However, this process won't work for an interview setting.  While I was recording, I wasn't able to hear the music on my headphones.  Only afterwards was I able to hear the music.  This means that if I were interviewing someone, Quicktime would be recording her voice but I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying until after I replayed the video.  Also, I have no idea if the person on the other end of the video chat would be able to hear me (I did leave the sound Input to "Internal microphone" with no trouble from Quicktime).
    Is there a way to have Quicktime record the video and audio and for me to hear what's going on at the same time?
    If not, what [free] software does this?
    Thanks!
    P.S.  Does Quicktime have a limit to screen recording time?

    Great info, thanks for the post!

  • How to use GarageBand at school and avoid getting 'File Not Found'

    Last year we used Audacity and this year we used GarageBand to create podcasts.
    We had students keeping their GarageBand project files on their USB sticks so that they could also work at home but many of them lost their work because they would get the message 'File Not Found'. The only work around we could come up with was to assign each student a computer and force them to only work on that computer and save their work in the GarageBand folder.
    Why is it not possible to use GarageBand projects across multiple computers by transferring with a USB? I even had them do drag and drop from the GarageBand folder to their USB instead of doing Save As but neither worked without errors.
    Sadly, many of these 160 students now have a negative opinion of Apple products and Apple software. I still like GarageBand, but it doesn't seem like a very good option for educational uses unless there is some sort of workaround that will allow my students to work on their projects on multiple computers.

    the only immediate thought is that you didn't format the USB drives for Mac OS. GB files require it, they won't work under other formats

  • Can I use GarageBand to record live from an external soundboard?

    My Church Band uses a sound board to play, and have asked me to do a video of the next performance. I want to capture the sound, using the band's soundboard. I can hook that up to my MacBook Air via USB cable. But then what do I do? How do I pipe the music into BG, and record at the same time?
    Thanx, I really appreciate ANY help!
    Jamie

    Sounds like the soundboard has a usb output, depending on the brand you may need to download some drivers. Then in garageband you will need to choose the soundboard in GarageBand > Preferences > audio midi and choose it for input. Start a real instrument stereo track and you're ready to record.
    This is a little over simplified but you can find tutorials under the help menu in garageband or on youtube.

  • Using Garageband to record soundtrack for iMovie

    Here's a noob question....
    I want to record a musical performance using imovie and Garageband (with audio interface). How do I effectively put the audio recording together with the video portion of the performance, that way, there is a good digital recording of the performance synced with the video portion....

    "Recording in iMovie" means using your internal camera or an iSight - is that what you want to do? Or do you want to use a video cam?
    The reason I'm asking: I'm not sure if iMovie can record through the internal mic while GB is using the USB or Firewire port - plus it's quite a load on the computer to do these two recordings at once. But anyway - it's pretty easy to align sounds in iMovie. If you record the video silent, make sure you have a video/audio sync signal like clapping your hands. If you have audio on your video track, it's very easy to sync the recordings - nudge the track with the GB audio until the reverb effect vanishes.

  • How to use camcorder to record direct to laptop (bypassing tape)

    I tried to record a movie directly from my Sony handycam DCR-HC28 onto my laptop. It did record the movie, but seemed to cycle through various alterations of the image. For example, for a few minutes the image would appear in negative, then little boxes would cover the image, although the audio was unchanged. I would like to record without tape directly to my laptop. I used a firewire and there was no tape in the camcorder last time. There is nothing about how to do this in the camcorder manual. Any suggestions? Thanks!
    J.B.

    Some camcorders automatically enter demo mode if they're set to Playback (VCR mode) but with no tape in the camcorder.
    Try setting it to Record mode, instead, with no tape in the camera.

    In your main() method, or in any code which tries to create a new score, below is wrong:

    stats.record(thestat); will not work because record has a parameter that needs an integer not an object

  • How to use garageband loops in final cut pro x

    I have O/S 10.6.8
    I have looked in the following for garageband loops, but see nothing.
    1. Mac HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple > Apple Loops for Garage Band,
    2. Mac HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Apple Loops > Apple Loops for GarageBand,
    and
    3. Username > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > User Loops. (cannot see any files here)
    I am wanting to access these Apple loops to use in Final Cut Pro X.
    Do I need to 'unhide' these files

    I appreciate your help. As you can guess, I am new to the Apple discussion groups.
    I tried unhiding files with Terminal, but that did not appear to help in this situation
    I did find an answer that suits me for the mean time.
    First  -  (to see loops)
    to see the Apple loops on my computer with Finder-
    -1 open Finder
    -2 Click on 'Go' icon at top of page
    -3 This brings drop down box
    -4 Click 'Go to Folder' and enter the following
           /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Garageband
    Second  - to get them into Final Cuty Pro X
    Create new folder in     /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple
    called                         Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro
    Now copy all files from    'Apple Loops for Garageband'
                               to       'Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro'
    By creating the folder 'Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro', it livens its existing link within Final Cut Pro X,
    so when you are in Final cut and go to the 'Music and Sound' icon you can now see the folder has changed from gray to blue, and you can see any files you copied into it.
    Cheers to all the help from others in trying to understand Finder.

  • How to Import Garageband projects and files into Cubase for Windows?

    Hi
    I've recently started using Garageband to record my ideas and compositions. I had 2 main questions:
    1. How do I transfer the audio files created in Garageband in a format which will allow me to edit them in Music Software for a Windows based Operating system? Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3 doesn't help because then my friends can't edit my guitar parts and other backing tracks.
    Mainly I need to know how to save and import Garageband projects and individual tracks into Cubase/ Cakewalk for Windows so that my band guys can edit the tracks and send me their ideas.
    I'm the only one out of my friends who has an Apple Macbook and most of my band guys still use Windows based Operating systems.
    2. I record my guitars and other instruments using the Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor as the sound source through USB. While I can record clean guitar without any problem, the moment I switch on the distortions on the GNX 4, there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers. I am therefore not being able to record distorted guitar sounds.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks and hope to hear from you all.
    Cheers
    Prash

    Tranferring them to iTunes and then converting them to MP3
    same as the protools procedure:

    there is a loud and constant hum from the speakers.
    Could be a ground loop problem. Test it using the MacBook on battery power only.

  • Using garageband 09 with imovie 09

    new to imove & garageband
    some questions on using garageband 09 with imovie 09...
    - Is there a URL that explains in detail how to use garageband with imove 09 to improve a voice only naration track?
    - Is there a URL that explains in detail each of garage bands effects/audio unit effects on the sound track?
    - is it correct that once you share an imovie to garage band and edit the sound track with garageband you can not "re-share" it back to imovie for video editing?
    - in post production, I am use to doing the following for sound track:
    noise reduction, compression/expansion/limiting, equalization, normalize to -1dB.
    Some have garage band effects have corresponding names, like compression. But, is there a noise reduction?
    Thanks
    Bob

    This might be helpful: http://comtechlab.iupui.edu/tutorialsfolder/tutorials.html
    No URL that explains the effects in depth to my knowledge, maybe one of the books, like Missing Manual or the Apple Certified when it comes out.
    Some high level info here: http://www.thegaragedoor.com/index.html
    Correct, there is no round trip editing. However, you should be able to import the completed movie back into iMovie as a new event and then bring it into a project.
    Not sure there is noise reduction.
