I record a lot of acoustic instruments in my music, and nothing has made my recordings sound better more than the LRC5 app. I’ve been using it for about a year now and I love it. Thanks Pete for the tip a while back!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Awesome! Yes, I wanted to focus on the stock apps to keep it simple in this one, but LRC5 is definitely the secret sauce of a lot of good iOS mixes.

[@gregbrower5461]

Thanks Pete. Following your great advice, I got the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface (part of a pack with mic and earphones); and following your helpful tips I found easy to set up and use with iPad Pro and my guitars. I can’t recommend your channel highly enough. Thanks again Pete, Ben

Thanks so much Ben. Really means a lot to me my friend. Enjoy your creating and make sure you share a track or two with me in the future.

[@onlybenmusic]

Pete Johns - Thanks Pete, Hi All, using Pete’s brilliant advice on interfaces and recording techniques, I recorded some original songs (playing all guitars / bass and singing myself, although not much of a guitarist / singer). Pete is the GarageBand guru for understandable advice. Here’s a sample of my original songs. Thanks again, Pete. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH_Gnadjpap0fqc kzbin.info/door/7R6j5Wa3i2Yea-OqEmlFsg Thanks again Pete, I’ve shared your platforms on my Facebook page, if that’s ok. facebook.com/onlybenmusic

[@DesolateMourning]

I knew and do most of those things except the first one. Thanks pete for always showing me something new and helpful. Now off to put my projects in 24 bit

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Do it man! Won’t help recorded audio but will help the quality of your exports, even old projects.

[@DesolateMourning]

Pete Johns from now on I’ll record with 24 bit on. Will that make the sound quality better than previous projects?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Sometimes. 16 bit is still pretty good. I hear the difference mostly in vocals and quiet acoustic guitar recordings.

Brilliant video, Pete. 👍🏻 Do you recommend a garage band plugin that can help reduce breath sounds? My voice technique is terrible and my breaths are heavy. Reducing them manually in the edit is time consuming. Thanks!

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey Dee. Always good to hear from you my friend. A combination of the noise gate from Nembrini and the plugin “Brusfri” from Klevgrand is a good combination for iOS. The GarageBand noise gate is only an on/off thing but the Nembrini plugin lets you dial in just a little reduction - this video will show you what I mean - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Tbo4ywoLd-rZY Brusfri is a must have app and plugin for reducing noise in your audio - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6CQpo19o9qfhNE

Hey there. I don’t do much recording on PC or using BIAS I’m afraid, but in the past have got good quality recordings using the guitar input on this interface.

[@DonFranko68]

Thank you so much Pete for the tipps and your video. They are very helpfull. How can i use a condenser mic wich need Phantom power and a dynamic mic simultan on my Behringer audio interface?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So, if you have 2 XLR inputs, you can turn on phantom power and use both a dynamic and condenser. Dynamic mics don’t need phantom power but will generally still work fine if phantom power is on. Just never use phantom power with a ribbon mic.

[@a.swords4296]

Hi @petejohnsmusic, just discovered your channel. Great videos and info! I have a question and maybe there’s another video for this but, I’ve been trying to record dj style mixes using vinyl (technics SL-1200MK5’s a mixer (Pioneer DJM600) and a VOLT 2 into a Mac /GarageBand. My question is regarding the many different volume output levels that each record tends to have. Rather than trying adjust the output gain on the fly while recording, is there a setting I can use in GB to create a nice even input sound level while recording and then give it a nice volume boost once finished recording!? Thanks for any insight.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So, I would recommend automation or limiting to help with this. I have a few videos covering this which I’ll link below. Automation - kzbin.info/www/bejne/opDHl313Zbigldk Limiting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3SThWRpYr95pac

Hi, Pete. I have an iPad with the iOS 10.3.3 Version. Yours as I can see is a modern version and most probably thats why I dont have the 24bt option in advanced. That will impact tremendously in the quality of the sound even if I have a Focusrite interface? Your channel is great btw. Accurate!

Hello Pete, I am using my IPhone with an audio interface connected perfectly. When I record my quality does not sound good and is very quiet even when I’m singing at a normal sound. Do you have any idea why this may be?

A lot depends on the type of audio interface and microphone you are using. I would jump over to the GarageBand Users Facebook group and provide more information there to see if they have some tips.

[@djnnstrumentalz3661]

Those mics work for iPhone??? How does that work? I’m using the standard white ear phones

You can use pretty much any mic or audio interface that is class compliant. If it is USB you’ll need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter or USB-C adapter. studiolivetoday.com/gear

[@christopherstefani6155]

Thanks for the great info. When setting your input gain, is it better to do it on the interface itself and leave the slider in GarageBand alone? Or do you adjust some mix of both of them?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Usually when you plug in an interface with its one input gain the slider in GarageBand is greyed out, so use the hardware input gain in those cases.

Fantastic stuff, Pete. If you save files as 44.1k/24-bit, is that the right format if you want to submit to music distributors (like Distrokid) later on?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

That’s an odd one? I’m not familiar with the interface but maybe make sure it’s only picking up the input you want to record? Sometimes you’ll need to pan the audio left or right and select channel 1 or 2.

@@PeteJohnsMusic After a little fartin' around with it I've got it to work.. I tried a different power source for the interface and that seemed to correct the issue.. so maybe it's a grounding issue? dunno..

My question is there an app out there that will convert my midi files into sheet music? I have a larger computer windows/pro tools recording setup that does this but since it's to large for our new home right now it's stored away. Also does Yamaha have an app for the iPad?

@@PeteJohnsMusicPete Johns I get the idea that the latest version of Garage band has this feature but since I can't upgrade to that os version that doesn't help and I don't want to get a new iPad at this point. I contacted Yamaha about an app for iPad that I could utilize my p 80 more than garage band lets me have yet to hear back. Thanks for the link Pete and this video was also helpful. One last thing as a musician one of the things I loved about Garage band was using it for compositions by tapping in all the parts on the touch screen. There were times when even though I had a fairly impressive home studio in my basement I would put more time into doing that on the iPad. The limitations were some what freeing and fun.

It will still export at 24-bit so any samples or loops you use that are 24-bit will retain their bit depth. Most loops in the latest sound packs are 24-bit.

@@PeteJohnsMusic Yeah but, if interface is only 16-bit, the depth is only 16...Am I missing something here?

[@ceesfiny]

If you use virtual instruments or samples or loops directly in GarageBand, so without using your audio interface, they will remain 24 bit when you export them.

[@mebeasensei]

@@ceesfiny Right..OK..so a 16bit mic input will remain 16bit quality of course. Thanks

T2?

[@Viajealduende]

24 bit is better. 8 bits better. Like 11 is one louder than 10 on a guitar amplifier.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Well…. I mean…. 24 bit actually genuine gives you more samples and more dynamic range. Someone should make a 25-bit interface however. 😄

Pete Johns - Studio Live Today 😂 Whether it was intentional or not, I thought you were paying homage by making a reference to the mockumentary Spinal Tap. “Eleven, it’s better. One louder than 10.” Always enjoy your videos.

I probably won’t be able to watch the live streams because of my time zone

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I hear you. I do try to stream at different times where I can so folks can join in.

Hi, can we bring indian and middle eastern sound pack to ipad ios? I saw this sound pack in logic pro x. Can you suggest something related to that?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Would be nice to have considering the other world instruments we have. You’ll need to find separate samples and import these at this stage I’m afraid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnO3q2uAarGrm6M
