Hey Pete. I'm relatively new to the channel and GB and I have to say I've learned so much in the past few weeks. I purchased AS and found it easy to use. Do you basically use AS to observe the wave form of the song only? Do you ever use the Normalize tool to complete the Mastering process instead of going back to GB? Thanks for all your instruction and help....Mate!

Hey Pete, thanks for all the great tutorials! I also love the sound and message of this song. I found it on YT Music and added it to my library :) I have a question for you: I recorded and mixed a song in GarageBand for iPad. I’d like to try some of the online mastering tools to at least compare it to what I can do myself. I’m also making a whole album so I want to make sure each track sounds consistent. However at least one of the sites (Cloudbounce) asks for -3db to -6db headroom in the file before uploading. Since GarageBand auto-normalizes, how can I create an audio file with the requested headroom? Is there another app you recommend for me to adjust the level after I mix in GB and before I upload it to Cloudbounce/LandR/etc? I tried uploading a sample of the normalized GarageBand version of my song to LandR. To me it sounds over-processed, but I am new to music production so maybe it’s actually ok. I just want to make sure I cover all my bases and do things “the right” way to be on the safe side, since I’m still developing my musical ear :)

Any chance to have a mastering final mix & fixing vocals with very different volume levels (due to being at different distances from the microphone) in logic for ipad?

Compression can help. Volume automation. But if the actual sound is very different that can be challenging.

Can you PLEASE do a video where you SHOW how to use a USB(C) mic to record a video using the iPad camera app. I cannot get this to work, and I’m not the only one. I’ve been able to record my guitar using GarageBand using ur videos..you r very good. But please show the connections (you’ve done this in other videos) but also actually show the recording working. There is very little vids which show this..

Ok something new happened in my quest to record video using external mic with my iPad Pro (2021) usb-c. I can hear the recording if I hv earphones plugged into the mic. But once I unplug the earphones I cannot hear anything from the iPad. Why is that? Can you help with this or point me to a primer?
@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын
Hey there. So once you have a USB device plugged in, it overrides the built in microphone and audio output. If you want to hear audio, you'll need to plug headphones or a speaker in to the headphone jack.
