How Do I Record with the Built-in Mic on GarageBand?

You can record audio using the built-in microphone on your Mac directly in GarageBand. Here's how:

1. Open GarageBand: Launch the application on your Mac.
2. Create a New Project: Choose a project type like "Empty Project" or "Audio Recording."
3. Select the Built-in Microphone: In the top-left corner, click on the "Input" dropdown menu and choose "Built-in Microphone."
4. Start Recording: Click the red "Record" button to begin capturing audio.

Tips for Better Audio:

• Adjust the Input Level: Use the "Input" slider to find the optimal recording level for your microphone.
• Use Headphones: Listening to your recording while you record can help you avoid feedback and ensure your audio is clear.
• Reduce Background Noise: Find a quiet recording environment to minimize distractions.

Remember: The quality of your recordings will depend on the quality of your Mac's built-in microphone. For higher-quality recordings, consider using an external microphone.
