appreciate video. my suggestion, as I am a newbie to using garageband for voiceover, show me where each button/setting, etc. is as sometimes you go to quickly in what you are doing and I have to replay many times. Like save button for new settings.
Thank you, that's so helpful. One thing I can't ever find an answer for is that when I use noise gate even at a very low setting it makes my vocals sounds SO odd. Like there is a hit of silence during or at the end of every word so it doesn't sound fluid at all. So I never use it, but everyone recommends it. Not sure where I am going wrong.
Wow! Thank you so much. This is the first video I found on this, and the settings completely transformed my voice. It sounds much more professional now. :)
Can you help me set this up on iPad? I am using a Yamaha AG06 mixer. I have it set on radio-ready for the vocals. I don't see any other settings you mentioned on the desktop for vocals. I just sounds like there's too much reverb and the volume is not set right for recording.
I’m working with a client that has a shure mic. I’ve never recorded external audio before. What would be the best way to record with that shure? I’m using garage band but I don’t tweak anything. Is there a better app or something?
This is awesome but wondering if there is an IPad version as I cant afford a MAC and recording on Ipad is so diffrent from this tutorial. Any help would be so welcomed - thank you :-)
Nice one mate. I have never tried 'Sizzle'!! Damn... my next V/O is going to be dangerous!!! 😉 Thank you and best wishes from an Englishman making armour in French forest. SUBSCRIBED 🇬🇧⚒🇺🇸
This has been so helpful, thank you so much! One little thing, I can't increase my volume do you know why? When I record I am seeing barely any levels on the screen. I have my apogee Mic plugged in. I'd appreciate some help, thanks.
Hi, i'm using an AT2035 microphone plugged into a behringer umc22 then plugged into the computer for my microphone. But when I'm listening to the microphone on garageband, it sounds bad. It doesn't have the fullness it normally has. The mids feels like it dropped and the highs sounds bad too. But when i monitor it through the audio interface, it sounds nothing like that
Thanks a lot, mate! It saved me plenty of time! Just wondering, how can I perfectly edit the audio to make it sound like I cloned my own voice with AI with GarageBand?
I am confused. I have the Shure sm7b and its plugged into my interface. When I get on garage band it only brings up the interface name. Im guessing its actually my mic?? They just use the interface name?
I have my shure sm7b plugged into the cloudlifter and the cloud lifter plugged into the Focusrite 4i4 3rd gen. And when I open garage band (the recording level is greyed out and I can't even move it) However, I noticed that if it wasn't plugged in, then I was able to adjust the recording level . Any one know why this would be happening???
This is a beyond basic setup for someone who knows absolutely nothing and wants audio better than their cell phone. There are substantially better videos and I can't believe he didn't talk about the vocal rider and NS1 plugin, which are massive improvements and almost necessary.
Dude, at 1.15 you are saying "...and then we head over to the Voice Library..." , like if that was something we learn in first grade... What 'Voice Library'?? I am going to make the same comment I had made several times, with the hope that it helps content creators (to whom I am very grateful by the way) to improve their quality of content: DO NOT ASSUME that the viewer knows. We don't. Create your content as if you were teaching a ten year old, because some of us... well, we are on that level, especially when complete beginners to GarageBand (or the world of recording). So instead of saying '...and then we head over to the Voice Library...", force yourself to say "and then I want you to click RIGHT HERE..." and then "click RiGHT HERE..." and then "you will see a list of options appearing on the left side..." Remember your first date with a virgin? I am sure you did not rush it, but explained exactly what you are going to do... Well, that's how you should create online content too. :) Slow down. Explain. And most of all: SHOW us what to do! Cheers mate.
Sorry but this video and a handful of others are only helpful to someone wanting to just do a podcast and not have cell phone quality audio. There's not a chance in hell these settings are used for professional voice overs. My custom settings are remarkably better than following your exact setup. I'll post a video comparing this video and handful of the other popular videos that are just taking advantage of people who barely know how to open garage band.
lol huh?? That’s.. kinda the point; a professional isn’t going to use just garage band alone and would probably use a separate mic if they did, this is definitely a tutorial for beginners, but it’s not taking advantage of anyone lol. It’s a helpful video; and most folks starting off with aren’t gonna make an expensive investment for something they aren’t sure will work out yet, so these type of settings help with not sounding like you recorded on a Nokia brick and then recorded a recording of the nokia recording on a Nintendo DS in a wind tunnel

Hey, how do you get your voice to sound like a "radio voice" when I speak and record, it sounds not "full" as in clear and crisp
Thanks a lot, mate! It saved me plenty of time! Just wondering, how can I perfectly edit the audio to make it sound like I cloned my own voice with AI with GarageBand?
