How to create audio recordings using an iPad and Garage Band:
- rehearse your speaking points/recording before you start!!!
- open Garage Band on an iPad
- Click the “+” sign on the top right corner to start a new audio recording
- Select “Audio Recorder”, then “Voice”
- VERY IMPORTANT: in top right corner, under the ? symbol, click the “+’ symbol. Click on “Section A”, and toggle the “Automatic” button. This will ensure you record until you press stop; otherwise you’d only record 8 bars before recording stops.
- Select”Radio Ready” from Vocal selection
- Press the “metronome” symbol (looks like a triangle with a stick), so that it is grey, not blue. If it is blue, you will hear the metronome clicking throughout your recording.
- Go to a quiet space. If you are working on your own, it’s best if youconnect headphones to iPad that have built-in microphone, like the Apple earbuds. If recording with a small group, go somewhere there’s not a lot of noise to record.
- When you are ready, press the red dot at the top of the screen to begin recording. Press the square button when you are finished.
- To start over, press the “undo” arrow, which will delete everything and start over.
- When you are done, Click “My Songs” on the top left corner
- Press your file once (or hold for 3 seconds) to rename your file- rename to your class and group names (i.e.: 8T Bob, Larry, Junior)
- Press your file twice to ‘share’. Select “SONG” not project. Select High Quality. Airdrop to Mrs. Osborne’s Macbook (Oz Macbook Pro)
