yamahabass Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Just want to demonstrate the sound and tools of the ipad, which I love! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFCWQcwb8YQ Using an ipad 4, garageband and the built in mic recording a jazz bass 4 string , I'm using an active Yamaha studio monitor as a bass amp. I had to position the ipad about a foot away from the monitor and also I couldn't turn the volume up too much as the mic is running quite hot. I composed a tune using garageband , it's great fun! I like the limitations, really makes you a lot more creative. This tune just uses 2 keys, dm7 -gm7 , I'll let you work out the actual keys Thx for listening!

SpaceChick Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I did my entry last month on GarageBand, I plug my bass into the iPad using an interface thing. Great track BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahabass Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi No I just uploaded it straight to YouTube. The ipad has a great mic, just have to position it not to near your speaker and it records great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is getting the distance right. A while back my mate asked me to come up with some ideas (guitar riffs) for a few songs he'd written. He sent me the songs I listened to them on my headphones and recorded some licks I thought might work into garageband using the mic on my iMac. I sent him my ideas and he used the recordings I'd made for his demo. No re-takes etc, they quality was spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
