Using the Audio Recorder, you can record your voice, an instrument, or any other sound using the microphone on your iPad, and play it back in GarageBand. You can also record sounds using an external microphone connected to your iPad.
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
- Tap the Fun or Studio button at the top of the Audio Recorder.
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.

- 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.
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 iPad, 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.

- In Studio view, tap the icon in the middle of the screen and choose a preset from the list.

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.
I edit sermons for the Church I attend to submit for the radio station. I bought an iPad in an attempt to save time by taking it with me to work to work on during my lunch break. I found very quickly that I was not able to import a project created in GarageBand for Mac into GarageBand for the iPad, neither does it work trying to import the mp3 file for editing. So what I did is fabricate myself a cable to do this. I took a wired mobile headset with the 4 conductor 1/8 jack and unsoldered it from the mic. I then soldered the ground and mic wire from the headset i took apart to the ground and conductor to a mono headphone wire jack. I know that this may sound complicated but I found that I am able to use the voice recording instrument in GarageBand to record audio that I play from a Mac or regular walkman cd player. I hit play on the audio source (cd player) and hit record on the iPad. The only problem I have found so far is that when the screen times out and the iPad auto locks it causes the recording to stop even though the top system bar is red and states that GarageBand is recording. I found out that when the iPad is lock is is actually not recording. I will have to disable the auto lock feature on my iPad to see if this will allow the iPad to continue to record the full 45 minute audio file.
I hope that Apple will allow regular compatibility between GarageBands in the future. Please let me know if any of you find a better way to do this same task. Thanks!!
