GarageBand User Guide for iPad

  1. Play the Amp in GarageBand for iPad You can connect an electric guitar or electric bass and play it using a variety of highly realistic amp sounds that combine a guitar or bass amp with one or more stompbox effects. You can adjust the amp controls, add stompbox effects to customize your sound, and visually tune your instrument.
  2. There are also MIDI connectors such as the iRig MIDI, which hook up MIDI keyboards, drum machines, drum pads, pedal boards and more to an iOS device. Connect your guitar to your iOS device (we’re using an iRig), get your headphones on and turn up the volume on your headphones and guitar. Open GarageBand.
  3. While many would argue that the only way to accurately capture an electric guitar performance is by mic’ing up your amplifier and hitting record, in my latest video I share 3 ways that you can directly input your guitar into your Mac so that you can record it in GarageBand.

In this 9 chapter guide we discuss everything related to using an acoustic and electric guitar with GarageBand, for both amp modeling, effects processing and recording. Aug 22, 2018  In this video, I show you three different ways to connect your electric guitar to your iOS device (iPhone or iPad) using different guitar interfaces. Connecting your guitar for recording or just.

You can connect an electric guitar or electric bass and play it using a variety of highly realistic amp sounds that combine a guitar or bass amp with one or more stompbox effects. You can adjust the amp controls, add stompbox effects to customize your sound, and visually tune your instrument.

Choose a guitar or bass sound

  • Tap the name at the top of the screen, then tap the sound you want to use. You can also swipe left or right to change to the previous or next sound.

    To switch between guitar and bass sounds, tap Guitar or Bass. To view sounds in a different category, tap one of the category names.

Change the amp

Adjust the input level

When you play your guitar or bass, a circle next to the Input Settings button lights green to show that GarageBand is receiving input from your instrument. If the circle turns red, lower the volume on your instrument to prevent distortion.

  1. Tap the Input Settings button, then drag the Level slider left or right to set the input level.

    The Level slider is available if your input source supports software level control.

  2. To set the level automatically, tap the Automatic switch next to the Level slider.

You can use a noise gate to reduce low-level input noise when you record. A noise gate cuts off the sound when it falls below a certain minimum level.

  1. Tap the Input Settings button , then turn Noise Gate on.

  2. Drag the Noise Gate slider until the noise stops or decreases to an acceptable level.

When an electric instrument or audio interface is connected to your iPad, a Monitor switch appears below the Noise Gate controls.

You can add up to four stompboxes, and change the order of stompboxes by dragging them left or right.

  2. To add a stompbox, tap an empty stompbox slot, then select a stompbox.

  3. To replace a stompbox, tap the stompbox you want to replace, then select a new stompbox.

  4. To remove a stompbox, drag it down toward the bottom of the screen.

  5. Tap the Amp button in the upper-right corner to return to the amp controls.

Turn a stompbox on or off

  1. Tap the Stompbox button in the upper-right corner.

  2. Tap the round On/Off button on the stompbox. If the small round LED (usually red) on the stompbox is lit, the stompbox is turned on.

  3. Tap the Amp button in the upper-right corner to return to the amp controls.

  1. Tap the Stompbox button , then double-tap the stompbox you want to adjust.

  2. Turn the knobs to adjust the stompbox controls.

  3. Swipe left or right if you want to work on a different stompbox.

Use the wah pedal with Face Control

If your iPad supports facial recognition, you can move the pedal on the Modern Wah stompbox by moving your mouth while you play. When you record, any pedal movements you make with Face Control are also recorded.

  1. Tap an empty stompbox slot, then select Modern Wah from the list.

  2. Hold your iPad 10–20 inches (25–50 cm) away from your face, then tap the Face Control button .

    The first time you use Face Control, GarageBand asks for permission to access the camera on your iPad.

  3. As you play, open and close your mouth to move the wah pedal up and down.

    You can tap the Amp button and adjust the amp controls while continuing to use Face Control.

  4. To turn Face Control off, tap the Face Control button again.

Note: GarageBand uses ARKit face tracking features to translate your facial expressions into instrument effect controls. Your face information is processed on device, and only music is captured during your performance.

Tune your guitar or bass

  1. Tap the Tuner button in the upper-left corner.

  2. Play an open string you want to tune, watching the tuner.

    The red horizontal lines show whether the string is too low (flat) or too high (sharp). When the string is in tune, the note name in the center turns blue.

  3. Tap the Tuner button again to close the tuner.

Save your own custom sounds

  1. Modify an existing amp sound by changing the amp, adjusting the amp controls, adding or removing stompboxes, or adjusting the stompbox controls.

  2. Tap the name at the top of the screen, then tap Save.

  3. Type a name for your custom sound, then tap Done.

    The first time you save a custom sound, a new Custom category appears, with an icon for your sound. You can rename or delete the sound by tapping Edit, then tapping the icon (to rename the sound) or the red circle (to delete the sound).

Turn crosstalk protection on or off

When your guitar or bass is connected to the headphone port and monitoring is turned on, you may experience unwanted feedback due to crosstalk. GarageBand includes crosstalk protection to help protect against feedback caused by crosstalk. Crosstalk protection is especially useful when using high gain settings on a guitar or bass amp, or when using an overdrive or boost stompbox together with a high-gain amp such as the Modern Stack. In such cases, feedback caused by crosstalk can result in sudden, unpleasantly high output levels.

Crosstalk protection can change the sound of the instrument while monitoring is on, but the sound returns to normal when monitoring is turned off or another track is selected. You can turn off crosstalk protection to hear how it changes the sound; however, it is recommended that you decrease the volume of your iPad to a low level before doing so.

  1. Izotope ozone 6 mac kickass 2017. Close GarageBand.

  2. Open the Settings app, choose GarageBand, then turn Crosstalk Protection on or off.

While many would argue that the only way to accurately capture an electric guitar performance is by mic’ing up your amplifier and hitting record, in my latest video I share 3 ways that you can directly input your guitar into your Mac so that you can record it in GarageBand.

Directly inputting (or ‘DI-ing’) your instrument in this way gives you more control over how your recording sounds if you choose to use Garageband’s built in amp designer and/or Audio Unit plug ins.
