Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I simply want to record myself reading a story and share it. How can I do this? How long can it be? I find the interface not intuitive for this.

I simply want to record myself reading a story and share it with others. How can I do this simply? I find the Garageband interface is not intuitive about this at all. Or would the voice memo recording work better? Thanks.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5, Both iPhones used to connect fine

You just need to adjust two default settings:


Turn off the metronome and count-in in song settings.


Set the Song setting section length to auto.


You can now record a section without it being prematurely stopped.


GarageBand has can record a maximum 320 measures (bars). At the slowest metronome setting of 40bpm and with a time signature setting of 4/4 (the maximum beats per measure) this gives a theoretical maximum of 32 minutes recording time.


Hope this helps
