GarageBand User Guide for iPhone
Using the Audio Recorder, you can record your voice, an instrument, or any other sound using the microphone on your iPhone, and play it back in GarageBand. You can also record sounds using an external microphone connected to your iPhone.
The Audio Recorder has two sets of controls you can use to change the sound. Fun view lets you quickly change the sound of your recording, while Studio view gives you more options to enhance your recording.
Switch between Fun and Studio view
Record a sound
Tap the Record button in the control bar.
Play, sing, or make sound into the microphone.
When you are finish, tap the Play button in the control bar to stop recording. Tap the Play button again to hear your recording.
Adjust the microphone input level
While you record, the In level slider on the left shows the input level from the microphone. If the level turns red, drag the slider down (or record the part again more softly) to prevent distortion.
Drag the In level slider up or down to set the input level. Scratch live sl2 driver.
The In level slider is available if your iPhone or input source supports input level control.
If the input device supports left and right channels, tap Channel button under the In level slider, tap Input 1 or Input 2 to select the input channel, or tap Stereo to record in stereo.
When you finish, tap Done.
Set the input level automatically
When an external microphone or other audio device (such as a headset or an audio interface) is connected to your iPhone, the input level can be set automatically.
Tap the Input Settings button , then tap the Automatic switch.
Reduce unwanted noise
You can use a noise gate to reduce low-level input noise when you record. A noise gate cuts off the sound when it falls below a certain minimum level.
Tap the Input Settings button , then turn Noise Gate on.
Drag the Noise Gate slider until the noise stops or decreases to an acceptable level.
When you finish, tap Done.
Turn on monitoring for an external microphone
When an external microphone or other audio device (such as a headset or an audio interface) is connected to your iPhone, the Monitor button under the Out level slider becomes active.
Tap the Monitor button to turn monitoring on. Tap the button again to turn monitoring off.
Change the sound using a preset
The Audio Recorder includes presets that appear after you record a sound. Each preset adds an interesting character to the recorded sound.
Do one of the following:
In Fun view, tap or turn the dial to select one of the presets.
Tap the Navigation button in the control bar, tap the Sounds button, then tap the sound you want to play. You can also swipe left or right on the Sounds button to change to the previous or next sound.
Turn the knobs to change the sound of the preset.
You can try out different presets by tapping them and turning the knobs.
Set the key and scale for Extreme Tuning
The Extreme Tuning preset is a popular vocal effect that changes the pitch of your recording based on your song’s key and scale settings.
Tap the Settings button , tap Key Signature, then tap a new key or a different scale (major or minor).
On iPhone 8, iPhone 7, or iPhone 6s, tap the Settings button, tap Song Settings, tap Key Signature, then tap a new key or a different scale (major or minor).
If the actual key or scale of your song differs from the key or scale setting, the effect might be less pronounced, or might change the pitch of individual notes in undesirable ways.
Changing the tempo in Garageband is as easy walking and chewing bubble gum.
Let’s do like DeFranco and just jump right into it.
How To Change The Tempo in Garageband – (The Easy Way)
1) To change the tempo in Garageband, click on the “Tempo” number in the top-center of the DAW along where it also lists the bars in each measure, as well as the Key Signature.
2) Then just double-click on the actual number, and type in the desired tempo.
Now, using this tool is helpful in a number of different ways, but for the moment, we’ll talk about another handy feature recently introduced into the Garageband user’s arsenal.
I believe in 2014 (although I could be wrong), Apple released the new tempo system where you can introduce different tempos at different times of the song.
That’s right, you can actually play a song at separate tempos in corresponding regions of your music.
In fact, you can change the tempo of your track as many times as you’d like. It doesn’t all have to be the same pace.
How To Change Only A Portion Of A Song’s Beats Per Minute
First things first.
1) Head into the Garageband settings where it says, “Track.”
2) Select, “Show Tempo Track” (or use the ‘Shift + Command + T’ shortcut)
3) Now, you’ll see that Garageband has shown the tempo track where you can adjust at which point precisely, the tempo will change.
4) Similar to the volume automation function, create automation dots wherever you want to begin.
5) Create one dot where you want the automation to begin. Click the other dot where you want the automation to end.
6) Now, drag and drop the line created to your desired tempo, and you can turn off the ‘Tempo Track.’
It functions a little bit different than the yellow Automation lines, but it still works perfectly, nonetheless.
*Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the tempo by decimal places in the same way that you can with volume automation. Although, minuscule changes in tempo aren’t particularly useful anyway.
Tips and Tricks Involving Tempo Changes
The ‘Enable Flex’ button.
This button down below in the smart controls allows one to do a couple of different things.
1)To bring up the ‘Enable Flex’ option, double-click on your ‘MIDI Region’ within the DAW’s ‘Workspace.’
2) Then, click on the option, ‘Track,’ rather than ‘Region,’ and you’ll see right away three different options, ‘Pitch Correction,’ ‘Limit to Key,’ and ‘Enable Flex.’
The ‘Enable Flex’ function is useful for changing the tempo and key signature of an uploaded sample – or un-checking the box in case of the opposite, which we’ll explore right now.
How To Change The BPM of an Audio Recording
Firstly, you can change the BPM of an audio recording by hitting the “Enable Flex,” and then adjusting the BPM at the top centre of the DAW.
1) Click “Track” down in your smart controls.
2) Check the box “Enable Flex.”
3) Change the BPM at the top-center of the DAW.
You’ll notice that it’ll actually change the BPM of the audio recording now, rather than just adjusting the track’s position in the Workspace according to each beat and time signature.
*It’s worth noting that if you don’t want to change the audio recording at all, and just want to re-arrange the way in which the recording falls in time for the sake of synchronization, just don’t hit the ‘Enable Flex’ button. But we’ll explore that in the next section below.
How To Change The Song’s BPM Without Changing The Audio
How To Turn Off Loop In Garageband Ipad Pro
From what I understand, it’s not actually possible to do this in Garageband without jumping through significant hoops. However, there is a way of doing it in a way that takes a bit of time.
You can’t adjust the beats-per-minute without changing the way the audio sounds in the DAW, unless, it’s an audio recording, rather than a MIDI file. However, through the use of Apple Loops, one can actually do this.
If you adjust the beats-per-minute then pretty much every sound in GarageBand will change unless you’ve used loops.

Let’s say, for example, you’ve just uploaded an Apple Loop in your Workspace.
If you want to adjust the tempo of your music, without touching the tempo of the Loop, it’s as simple as changing one of the settings in the Smart Controls.
How To Turn Off Loop In Garageband Ipad Pro
Down in the Smart Controls, in the ‘Region’ section, there is a button that says, “Follow Tempo and Pitch.” If you haven’t checked the box, the Loop won’t change in accordance with Tempo and Key Signature adjustments
For a step-by-step process:
1)Highlight the Track and Go into the Smart Controls.
2) Click on ‘Region.’
3) Uncheck the box, “Follow Tempo and Pitch.”
This should allow you to change the rest of the song, without messing with the tempo and pitch of the Loop. Unfortunately, however, we can’t use this feature for MIDI or audio recordings.
How To Change The Tempo Of Just One Track
Due to the limitations of GarageBand as a software, there are some things we cannot do, but on the other hand, many we can. With that said, it’s still
Fortunately, through trial-and-error, there are ways of making things possible with a little bit of innovation and initiative.
While it’s technically “not possible” to change the tempo of just one track region in GarageBand, it actually is if we create Apple Loops.
It takes a little bit of work to make this happen, but it is possible. Basically, what you want to do is upload a MIDI region into Apple Loops, save it as a “One Shot” loop, rather than a “Loop.”
And once the Loop has been added to the Loop Library , you can add it to an Audio Track Region in your DAW without worrying about pitch or key signature adjustments.
Without further ado, here is the step-by-step process:
1) Highlight the track of which you want to change tempo.
2) Now click “File” in Garageband’s Toolbar.
3) Click the button, “Add Region to Loop Library,” or, you can use the Keyboard Shortcut, “Control + Shift + o” (the lower-case letter not the number).”
4) It’ll bring up the options for adding loops to the library, and you want to click on the check-box that says, “One-Shot.” So now you’ve created your loop.
5) Make a new “Audio” track as you normally would: (I use the Shift + Command + A option because it’s a lot faster).
6) Go into your Loop Library now by clicking on the “Loop” icon that looks like a hose on. the top-right-hand side of the DAW.
7) Find the loop you just created.
8) Now, drag and drop the loop into the Audio Track that you just created. *It’s important to note that you have to drag and drop the Loop into an Audio Track Region rather than a MIDI one.
9) And voila! Now you have a region of music in your DAW that won’t change whenever you adjust the tempo (beats-per-minute) or the key signature.
How To Change The Tempo By Just One Decimal Point
This is quite straightforward, but it’s a feature that not a lot of people are aware of. GarageBand users can actually adjust the tempo of the music by decimal points, rather than just whole numbers.
It’s intuitive. Just type in the number including the decimal places you want where you normally would in the BPM/Tempo part of the DAW.
How To Identify The Tempo Of A Song
As I’ve written in another article under the section, “Important things to Note When Chopping Music” (link here),identifying the tempo of a song can be challenging as a beginner, but after a few tries, you should be able to figure it out.
Every person, or most of them anyway, has the ability to find the beat of music naturally.
For instance, when a person nods their head to the beat or dances to the music, one has to have a natural feel for the tempo and beats-per-minute to do so.
There are a number of different ways of determining the tempo, but for the sake of brevity, I’ll outline how I do it.
Essentially, what I do is I tap my finger on the desk along to the beat of the track, and then I begin typing in the number that I feel is the closest to the Tempo, then I turn on the metronome in GarageBand and make sure that it matches the music.
Usually, it takes more than one try, but I’ll continue typing numbers until it has matched completely.
If you don’t already own a metronome, I highly recommend getting one. They’re great for practicing as well as recording.
Even though Garageband comes with one built in, an authentic wooden metronome is a lot better to use. You can read about the one I recommend here.
As I’ve written before in the article linked above, you can tell that the song/sample/track is perfectly in time based on how the region lines up in the DAW.
In the image above, you can see that the sample doesn’t line. up perfectly because the tempo hasn’t been set correctly. *It’s important to note, however, that this won’t work if you have the option, “Follow Tempo and Pitch,” turned on.
As you can see, the tempo is set at 90 beats per minute, the correct BPM, so the sample lines up perfectly in the DAW.
What Is The Best Tempo For GarageBand
For obvious reasons, this is a question whose answer depends almost entirely on what kind of person you are and the style of music you’re into.
Because I’ve been making a lot of hip-hop/jazz/rock style tracks lately, I usually create songs between 90 and 120 beats per minute.
Some people choose 150 beats-per-minute. For reference, I’ve included a chart below to illustrate each BPM setting.
You’ll notice that the terminology is in Italian, which is normal for standard musical notation due to its origins in Italy and Germany.
Largo (super slow) – 40 – 60 BPM.
Larghetto (still extremely slow but not as much) – 60 – 66 BPM.
Adagio (slow but slowly speeding up) 66 – 76 BPM
Andante (Moderate speed. This area is starting to get more normal for music, and it’s usually the rate that I employ) 76 – 108 BPM
Moderato (Considered as moderate speed but it’s faster than Andante) – 108 – 120 BPM.
Allegro (Quite fast) 120 – 168 BPM
Presto (Very fast) 168 – 200 BPM
Prestissimo (Super fast. Almost no one will ever play at this speed, not in popular music, anyway) 200+ BPM

As you can see from the tempo ranges I’ve laid out, each range has a specific quality, and it’s up to you to figure out what tempo you want.

However, a good rule of thumb is in between 90 and 120 beats per minute, although, truthfully, it doesn’t matter that much, because the tempo is just how fast the beats are counted.
Conclusion
That’s all on tempo for today. I hope it helped and you enjoyed it too. Do me a favor and share this on social media to help out all of your producer friends.
