    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.

      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.

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Pƙed 4 lety

      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 - czcams.com/video/mCxrYzkRKw4/video.html
      Brusfri is a must have app and plugin for reducing noise in your audio - czcams.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/video.html

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Pƙed rokem +1

      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.

    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
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      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.

    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!

    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.

    How does one change settings such as sample rate and buffer size when using an interface with iOS? Are you stuck with whatever latency you get by default? Most interfaces have a control panel when used on Mac/pc and I can’t find any info regarding this for iOS.

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Pƙed 4 lety

      Yeah, there’s no way in iOS to adjust any buffer or sample settings - but I must admit I haven’t had significant issues with latency personally.

My question is there an app out there that will convert my midi files into sheet music?

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.
