Going Further with GarageBand

Since this book is about video and not music, it isn’t possible to cover all the nuances of GarageBand here. There are, however, great resources available, even within the program itself. The manual is always only a few taps away. On the iPad, tap the Info button, and then tap “Learn more about the control bar.” You can access the complete manual by tapping the Table of Contents icon in the upper left, or search the manual by tapping the Search button. On the iPhone, tap the Settings button and scroll to the bottom of the Song settings to open GarageBand Help.

The iOS version of GarageBand has a lot of great features, but many more editing and mixing options are available on the Mac version. To share a GarageBand for iOS project with GarageBand for Mac, you have two options: iCloud and iTunes.

Share via iCloud

To share a project via iCloud, navigate to the My Songs window and tap Select. Choose the song, tap the iCloud button, and choose Upload Song to iCloud (4.34, on the next page). The song becomes available on all devices that use your iCloud account.

Share via iTunes

In this scenario, iTunes acts as a go-between to transfer the project file from the iPhone or iPad to GarageBand on the Mac.

1. Open the My Songs window and select the project.

2. This time, tap the Share icon and select iTunes, then choose the GarageBand option to save the multitrack GarageBand project (4.35).

   4.35 Saving the file for iTunes

   The song’s file is saved in a special storage area of the device reserved for GarageBand that iTunes can access.

3. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
4. On your Mac, select the device in iTunes and click the Apps tab.
5. Scroll down to the File Sharing section and click the GarageBand icon.

6. Select the project and drag it to your desktop; or, click the Save To button and choose a location (4.36).

   You may see a message saying that GarageBand has to download additional content to your Mac for compatibility. This shouldn’t take long, and only has to happen the first time you open GarageBand for iOS projects on your Mac.

You can add sounds to your iMovie project—in addition to or in place of the sound recorded with your video clips—to create a fun and professional finished video.

Add sound to an iMovie project on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can add a variety of audio files to your iMovie project:

• Built-in soundtrack music and sound effects included with iMovie.
• Songs you've downloaded to your device in the Music app.
• Your own custom songs created in an app like GarageBand or custom sound effects stored in iCloud Drive, on your device, or in another location.

And if you want to add voiceover narration, record it right into the timeline of your iMovie project.

Add songs to iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

2. Tap Audio, then tap an option:
   • To browse the built-in soundtracks, tap Soundtracks.
   • To browse songs you've downloaded to your device in the Music app, tap My Music.*
   • To browse songs stored in iCloud Drive or another location, tap My Music, then tap Files.
3. Tap a song to preview it. You might be prompted to download the song to your device before you can preview it.
4. To add the song to your project, tap the plus button next to a song. The song is added at the bottom of the project timeline, starting at the beginning of your project.
   

When you add a song, it automatically adjusts to fit the length of the project. You can change the length the song like you would any other clip. You can also use multiple songs in a project. For example, if you want to change the mood of the music over the course of your project, you can shorten the first song in the timeline, then place a different song after the first song.

If you add a song or other audio file that’s less than 1 minute long, it behaves the same as a sound effect in the project.

2. Tap the Add Media button , then tap Audio, then tap an option:
   • Tap Sound Effect to browse the built-in sound effects.

Adjust the volume of a clip in iMovie on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

After you add sound to your iMovie project, you can adjust the volume of audio clips to get the sound mix just right. You can also adjust the volume of video clips that were recorded with sound.

To adjust the volume of an audio or video clip, tap the clip in the timeline, tap the Volume button at the bottom of the window, then adjust the slider to increase or decrease the volume. When you turn the volume of a clip all the way down, a Mute icon appears on the clip in the timeline.

You can also make other adjustments, such as fading the volume of the clip or changing its speed. Learn how on iPhone and iPod touch, or learn how on iPad.

Add sound to an iMovie for Mac project

In iMovie for Mac, you can drag audio files right into your timeline from the Finder. You can also use songs or other audio files from your music library and other locations using the media browser within iMovie. And if you want to add voiceover narration, record it right into the timeline of your iMovie project.

Drag audio files into the iMovie project timeline on Mac

You can drag audio files like .mp4, .mp3, .wav, and .aif files from the Finder and the Desktop right into the timeline of your iMovie project. Audio files dragged into the timeline behave differently depending on where you drag them:

• If you want an audio file to stay with a particular video clip even if you move the video clip, drag the audio file just below the video clip so a bar connecting the clips appears. Use this to add sound effects or voiceover audio that you want to connect to a specific video clip in your project, no matter where the clip is in the timeline.

• If you drag an audio file to the music well, indicated by the musical note icon in the timeline, the audio clip won’t move if you move any video clips in the timeline. Use this to add background or theme music that plays throughout the entire project.
  

Add music and sound effects using the iMovie browser on Mac

You can browse and add content from your music library and built-in sound effects from within iMovie.

1. With your project open, click Audio at the top of the window, then choose an option:
   • To access your music library, click Music (or iTunes if you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier) in the Libraries list, then browse selections.*
   • To access built-in sound effects like footsteps or rain, click Sound Effects in the Libraries list.
2. To preview a song or sound effect before you add it to the timeline, click the play button next to each song or sound effect. You can also select a song or sound effect, click in the waveform at the top of the media browser, then press the Spacebar to preview.
3. When you’ve found the song or sound effect you like, drag it from the media browser to the timeline:
   • For background or theme music for your movie, drag songs to the music well.
   • To attach music or sound effects to a specific video clip, drag it under the video clip so a bar connecting the clips appears.
