Working in GarageBand with your students can be fun and rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what steps to take. To make things much easier for you and your students, I’ve created a checklist to help you go through the process step-by-step.

1. Choose your song

Cover song?
Original?

I was inspired by the intro to @RhettShull ‘s video. And wondered if I could create something similar with budget gear. I’ve had GarageBand installed on one iPad or another for five years, and because my BR800 came with a 120-page book telling me how to work it while GarageBand didn’t, I’ve been somewhat scared of it all this time. Now I’m finding that all I needed was an iRig and a likeable Scottish chap explaining what stuff does. XLR MICROPHONE & AUDIO INTERFACE The final way to record your voice in Garageband on your iPad is through an XLR microphone with an Audio interface. By far the best way to get the highest quality vocal recordings, you have a huge amount of choice when it comes to what microphone and interface to go for. How To Record Music On Garageband Ipad Make music with Touch Instruments Use Touch Instruments to play keyboards, drums, guitars, strings, and more. Record your own vocals or plug in your guitar or bass, and play through a great selection of amps and stompbox effects. In Logic Pro and GarageBand for Mac, you can share a special GarageBand for iPad-compatible version of your project to iCloud. You can add, edit, and arrange new tracks in GarageBand for iPad. When you reopen the project in Logic Pro or GarageBand for Mac, the new tracks are added to the original project.

2. Collect Resources

Lyrics (print them out)
Chord chart and/or sheet music
Audio recording and/or YouTube clip

3. Listen, listen, listen! (and plan)

If you’re creating a cover version of an existing song, listen to it LOTS of times
What is the key and tempo?
Write song section names (intro, verse, chorus, bridge etc) on lyrics sheet
Label the sections A, B, C, D and so on
Write down the number of bars in each section on the lyrics sheet
Which instruments will play in each section?
Which sections are the same or similar? Which are different?

4. Open GarageBand on your iPad

Start a new project: tap the Create Document

5. Select instrument

Choose the instrument you are going to record first

6. Choose the song settings

Tap the wrench icon and set the Key, Tempo, Time signature

7. Set up the Section length

Tap the Song Sections button (small “+” sign at top right)
Tap Section A
Next to Manual, set the number of bars/measures for the first section

8. Record the first track (section A)

Record the part for your chosen instrument
Optional: quantize the recording (Mixer icon > Track Settings > Quantization)
TIP: if you’re recording a Touch Instrument, you can slow the tempo down while you record and then increase it again later on

9. Go to Track view

12. Go to Track view

Edit/fix the recording if necessary

13. Repeat steps 10, 11 and 12

Continue to add new tracks and record their parts until you’ve completed Section A
Repeat as many times as necessary

14. Set up Section B

FIRST!! Decide whether the parts in section B are the same or similar to the ones in section A. If they are similar or the same, DUPLICATE section A. You can edit the parts if needed. If this section is completely different, ADD a new section (using NEW means you will add an empty section)
Adjust the number of bars/measures in Section B if necessary

15. Record parts in Section B

Follow the same steps to record all the instrument parts in section B

16. Set up Section C

Decide whether you will DUPLICATE one of the earlier sections or ADD a new section

17. Record the parts in Section C

Follow the same steps to record all the instrument parts in section C

18. Repeat steps 16 & 17

Continue to duplicate/add new sections and record parts until the song is complete

19. Listen to the entire song

Tap the Song Sections button and then tap All Sections
Press play to hear the entire song from start to finish

20. Mix

Listen to your project: are any instruments too loud? Too soft?
Open the track header area and adjust track volume levels if necessary

21. Record vocals

Plug in headphones. They will stop the sound of the backing track coming out of the speakers
Plug in external microphone (if using one)
Tap record and sing the vocal part over the top of your backing

22. Save and share

Save your project and rename it
Share/export the final project as per your teacher’s instructions
