- How to record a song with Garageband. I used the Scarlett Solo (Focusrite) and did a quick informal review and demonstrated how easy it is to set up. I recorded a Cover of Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins) using GarageBand, showing you how easy it is to add tracks, a drum track and how to do some simple editing.

Thank you for saying "The way Scarlett is set up, your microphone always goes in Channel 1 and your guitar goes in Channel 2." Solved the issue I was having. Every other tutorial I watched just proceeded without specifying that.
Super loved the simplicity of this tutorial, Thank You
Thank you so much for this! I'm trying to get my niece into digital recording, but she lives far away. I've sent all the equipment to her and will tell her to watch this video to help get her started. This is the perfect tutorial and a great setup for any songwriter! Thank you!
Carl Lewis my pleasure! Hope it inspires her to get into recording!
Love your guitar sound and your rendition of the classic! Nice Gretsch.
As soon as I saw the Gretsch I knew this was gonna be a good video.
Thanks!
This is really cool!!! Exactly what I want to learn to do with my beginner home music studio! Thank you! This is really helpful!!!👍🎶
Great to hear! Thanks for your feedback 😀 good luck with your recordings
Great song .great beat
Thanks 🙏
Finally! Thanks you for posting this. I couldn’t get the 2 channels to record at the same time
Glad you found it useful!
I really liked the video and the song. It gave me a lot of tools to get started right away. Seeing how you set up the equipment around you was also helpful.
Thanks nice to hear! Thanks Cristina!
Thank you so much. Clear and straight forward - I so appreciate you!

Chris Kinkade cheers
Simple and Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Thanks Arun!
Really useful - thanks Ryan.
Thanks Andy Patterson!
Great demo. So with a Mac, not necessary to load any drivers or the software they include with the focus rite? I want to use GarageBand like you do, I don't want to mess with outside software...Thanks
Plug & play 👍
i love this video , great job man !
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed your cover as well👍
Great Job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great explanation. Easy and straight forward! Thanks!
Hi Martin, nice video. A question, the drumset, or other tracks you set up in garageband, do you hear them back in your headphones plugged into the scarlet?Am I right? Thanks
Hi Giorgio, yes you hear everything back. You can mute them though if you want
Nice video. Ryan i've plan to buy scarlett focusrite 212 interface, do i need to download drivers to use it?
Not if you are using a Mac, it was just plug and play. Possible if you are using Windows..
Thanks so much for your great work, really appreciate that ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thanks very much!
Helped a lot! Thanks!
Glad it helped The Plouty
Which focus rite 2i2 is the best Audio interface? As a beginner podcaster, i wanted to know which one is the best? And which country it is made in?
excellent thank you
Glad you found it useful!
Hello, im using the Focusrite Solo 3gen, it is not bad
Good to hear!
I like it!!! I
Thanks Voltta! glad you liked it :)
Thanks, I will follow your demo.
Hope it helps
My microphone isn’t picking up anything but i set it up how you did
Did you check the record enable box?
Ryan Martin where is that?
@@marlogreen9706 When you right click the track, you should see the option to see record-enable
Did you sync sound and video in iMovie Great vid by the way
Will Duwe yep 👍 I think I used iMovie - sometimes I use premiere. Can’t remember
Excelente!!! Tengo la misma configuración e interface, pero al grabar no queda con esa calidad tuya. Como haces para que tu voz sueñes tan bien?? Sigo lo mismos pasos que muestras pero no consigo llegar al sonido, saludos este Chile 🇨🇱
I’m having an issue with the mic.its plugged in and output and input is saying scarlet (interface I’m using)but the mic isn’t picking up anything on the computer?I bought another mic thinking the original one was broken but I have the same issue
January can somebody please answer her lmaooooo I’m having the same issue. Did you ever find out what it was??
January oop I just solved it. Press 48v
You need to turn on phantom power, otherwise the mic wont be getting any power.
If it’s a condenser mic you will need to push the +48 button to power the mic. Dynamic mics do not need phantom power.
Great video! Do you know if you can record video with an iphone and then replace the audio with the track you create with the focusrite? I guess I'm essentially asking if I need to get a second camera if I plan to upload to youtube?
Yes absolutely! You will need a video editor though to add in second audio and remove the original audio
No need to get a second camera, unless you want to capture 2 different angels at the same time
@@RyanMartinWeddings So could I do that in iMovie?
mackay19850203 sure can 👍
sir,, how can i hear my instrument guitar when i start recording,,
because when i start recording i only hear is mp3 track,
but my guitar is cannot,,

Great video. Very helpful
How do you keep the guitar on input 2 from bleeding into the vocal track on input 1? I use an acoustic electric. Would it work better if I just used an electric guitar?
I usually record with both for the first layer and then record them separately after so there is no bleed. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response! Yes, I guess the first layer can be just for timing Much appreciated. Stay safe and healthy
great. but how did you record the video then? I need to record video thru my android phone here. do I need to connect the phone to macbook?
If you are recording video on your phone, yes, you will need to connect it to your macbook to get the footage off. Or use a cloud storage system to transfer.
Hi! Nice video! Thx for sharing this!
May I ask a couple of questions please?
- is there latency?
- I own a peavey mh6505 with xlr output, would you connect it into the focusrite through mic or guitar input??
Thanks for your help!
I haven’t noticed any latency at all in recording.. if you are using midi i have noticed slight latency but there’s a few things you can do to fix it.. mic definitely XLR / mic input
@@RyanMartinWeddings Thanks a lot for your answer!
I don't know if it's MIDI i am using, the output in the amp is an MSDI output...otherwise I'll plug the guitar directly in the focusrite as u do.
Anyway u said it can be fixed so...it's a go I think..!
THX!
Very useful 👌👌
Glad to hear!
Thanks mate, great video. I’ve set up my focusrite solo no worries. Two questions - 1) When I’m on a track, I click on the record button at the top and it records no worries. Why is it necessary to “configure track head” and put that record arm button on the track? 2) I’ve setup the track fine with the option input 1 or 2 or both. If I’ve set up the wrong one can I change that option after or do I delete the track and start again. For example, I set up for input 1 by mistake and want to change it to input 2. There’s nothing recorded so it doesn’t matter about deleting it and starting again, just wonder if there is that option. Cheers
Thanks anyway I’ve answered my own questions. The “arming” would be needed for recording multiple things at once (of course 🤦♂️) - I’ve only been doing single stuff until now. I found the input 1/2 selection.
Thank you for this video I was finally able to record however I cant adjust the recording level I just don’t know how to adjust it It won’t let me what do I have to do to be able to adjust it can you help me?
If you interface won't let you turn up the volume any more you can increase the gain on the channel inside GarageBand
Very helpful video! One question: how do you get sync and mechanical licenses for music covers?
Check out CD Baby
@@RyanMartinWeddings sorry but I didn’t get you 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@nyclola sorry CD Baby is a company who do sync and mechanical licenses for music covers cdbaby.com
@@RyanMartinWeddings oh ok. Now I got it. Thank you!
Thanks for the helpful video. I have a question. I have a Scarlett Solo 3rd and my guitar is heard even when the potentiometer on interface is lowered to the end. Is that normal or should an electric guitar not be heard at all?
Hi! Sounds like you are trying to record vocals while you are playing guitar? If that's the case, your vocal mic may be picking up some of the guitar.. Make sure you record each track separately OR if you need a reference, record both at once on a guide/reference track and then record each separately on additional tracks
Can you use it using your computer speakers ?
sure can - there are feedback issues if your mic is on too though..
Hi. Does Garage band have a noise gate?
Sure does!
Hi Ryan how if I wanna record a vedeo by mobile with music on the scarlett interface Does it work and does it have the same quality of sound in the vedeo recording in the mobile?? Thanks a lot
I have no idea whether you can connect this to a mobile sorry!
is there a reason why you selected input 2 at the begging?
How much memory does your Macbook Air has? I'm thinking about buying one of these but I'm not sure about the range of memory it needs to work decently.
Currently my MacBook Air has 8gb RAM and 250gb storage but I have upgraded since recording this video.
@@RyanMartinWeddings Thanks man
Does this setup work with Logic Pro?
What guitar do you have?
Gretsch - Gretsch G5421 Electromatic® Jet Club Solid Body Firebird Red
But how to sync video with audio
Use a video editor like iMovie
thank you so much
Glad you liked it!
My voice is recording all good but I can't hear what I have already recorded when I am doing layers of harmony? There is just a clicking sound, can anyone help?
Send me a screenshot facebook.com/Ryanmartinmusician
Please assist, how do you connect this to your iphone? Thanks
Pieter van der Gryp no idea sorry! Haven’t ever tried
I use ipad u need the apple lighting camera adapter to connect the focusrite to ipad then just also connect the charger for power supply
awesome
Thanks Rick!
When I use my Scarlett solo to record and play it back it lags real bad.. can anyone tell me how to stop that? My vocals be offbeat the whole song🤦🏾♂️
How can I change the stereo mode for the bass/guitar track. I'm already switch to mono in the Mac, but the track recording is still showing a flat line on top, i. e., stereo mode. Thanks man
The only problem I have is I’m not using an instrument and when I pick input 1 when I set up my vocal channel and out it on mono sound I can’t hear myself back in my headphones
Hey! have you fixed this issue? i have the same one
@@aizey4711 I had to loosen the wire connection a little bit into my Scarlett to hear myself
That sounds like a dodgy cable
Hi this is great but I am going out of my mind :) I have everything as you say. Both guitar and vocals are armed but when I record the guitar is a straight line only the vocals are recording ? Hope someone can help.
i cant hear myself from the headphone . Am i doing something wrong?
Emmanuel Anjorin that definitely shouldn’t be happening! Did you get it working?
Do you have the phantom power on?
THE BEST
Thanks so much!
I have a Scarlett solo and I can record and stuff on it, but my voice recording is barely heard over the guitar recording. How can I fix it?
Drop the volume of your guitar
Can you use this for drum recording?
Absolutely!
ryan i recorded my guitar and vocal, now i wanna add some piano chord and guitar chord from the garageband not my instrument, but it didnt let me, why?
You would need to add a new track and plug in your piano into the interface.
@@RyanMartinWeddings i wanna add from the garagebands piano and guitar
could you connect the scarlett to the ipad or iphone?
Haven’t tried it with an iPad
What year MacBook Pro are u using?
I wish I had a MacBook Pro, it's a MacBook Air
Thanks man, But it doesn’t let me record my vocals what can I do ? Thanks
Possibly making sure both tracks are armed and recording at the same time if you are able to record guitar..? To do this, right click on the track, tick the box that says 'configure track header' and then click 'record enable' on the tracks you want to record on
My guitar track sounds thin, do you have any idea why that might be i also use an iPad but i have the solo and I’ve set it up correctly
Are you recording with an instrument channel or mic? If it's the instrument channel, there are loads of settings you can play with on the channel to run it through various amps and pedals
Ryan Martin I’m running in through a channel,
I’ve got the instrument switch turned on so that helps make it a little louder and more present but I’m interested in the settings you mentioned,
I just ordered the 2i2 does the mic record in stereo? or do you need to record 2 tracks and pan the tracks left and right?
Stereo - if you are recording instrument and vocals at the same time it records them on seperate tracks
Ryan Martin thanks 😊👍
nice video, I suggest using a clip on mic for future videos, kind of hard to hear you
Thanks for the feedback Rick
Pls reply bro,,, when I right click on the audio 1 it doesn’t do anything?
try clicking on "track" in the top meny and then "configure track title" or something, don't know what it says In English, I have mine I Swedish
Hard to say, I would need to see what you are seeing to troubleshoot this -
www.ryanmartin.com.au/lessons
Hello, please tell me how to solve the problem. I use GarageBand for real-time broadcasts by a third-party application. It amplifies the usb mic, but the effects are only sent to the microphone's earbuds and do not reach the desired application. How can you transfer effects to both headphones and app?
It’s recording stereo to one channel - pan to one side and see what happens
@@RyanMartinWeddings Thanks!
Forgot to mention, I seem to have to use the noise gate extensively or I get a lot of buzz from guitars. Doesn't seem to matter what amp model but obviously really buzzy on the crunch and distorted models...any hints on that? Cheers
You know what, I have a similar issue when I have the charger connected to my laptop. Unplug it and see if it goes away..?
Can I record over instrumentals with this bundle ?
can't see why not - if you have an instrumental track mp3 or wav file
Can you record guitar lines with the mic ?
Yep. Acoustic would be no worries but Electric you would need to sit the mic in front of an amp.
Thank you! this is very helpful. I just need help with one thing: I turn my gain on to the perfect level but somehow when it actually gets recorded, the volume is like, REALLY, REALLY low, and I have to lower the volume of the background track in order to get the balance. did I do something wrong with the setup?
Simple fix - There is multiple volume sliders.. one up the top right for master then each channel/track has its own slider. Adjust each channel to get the balance you require. Hopefully that fixes your problem. Let me know if it doesn’t
@@RyanMartinWeddings thanks Ryan! that definitely was helpful. What would be the next step you recommend if this didn't help?
Harmony Gong did you get it to work?
can I record vocal using only playback (mp3) ? without using live instruments like guitar
Ara Vartan you can record your vocals over a backing track if that’s what your are asking? Drag an mp3 in on a different track then, create a new track for vocals.
@@RyanMartinWeddings thank you
I have a question. You record first guitar, or both at once. I think the micro record guitar as well, because there is so closer... it can be? or the micro only capture your voice and not guitar, because the micro is good and it doesn't capture guitar sounds... thanks
There may be a little spill over from the guitar in this situation but you could always do them separately if you wish
Is it possible to record piano(keyboard) and voice simultaneously??
Yes, exactly the same way I did guitar and vocals in the video
Thanks bro !! This helped a lot !!
Ps don’t step on my blue suede shoes
Good to hear!! Don’t forget to subscribe for more content!!
ive just recently started getting ridiculous feedback through garageband. Am using the Focusrite also
I haven’t seen this issue before. Do you have studio monitors pointing towards the mic?
@@RyanMartinWeddings nope it's direct in to the focus rite and usb to the Mac and using the garageband software sounds
Thanks bud ..what I need now is an apple computer
Yeah or there are alternative programs for PC
For some reason, whenever I try to use it in garage band, it just tells me that the selected input isn’t available and automatically uses the build in microphone and speaker with letting me change it. Do you know what the problem is?
Vinny Contini sounds like the computer isn’t picking up the input device. I’d try googling the device you are using and searching for the device driver - usually on the manufacturers website. Download and install the driver would be my first recommendation..
What if your not using a guitar and jaunt want to record
You can use a midi keyboard or even your keyboard on your computer to play midi through garageband
Important if using Focusrite Solo for Garageband: Channel 1 is Microphone and Channel 2 is guitar
Thanks bra
No worries!
