Professional Microphone

• There are 3 audio deliverables here - [ 3 audio recording]:

  • Record your audio takes in GarageBand or your preferred digital audio workstation. Background vocalists, please record 3 stems.  

  • Make sure the reverb, echo and all other effects are turned off.  We will add them in post production.

  • Export the audio as .WAV or .AIF files if possible; if not, it can be an MP3, .WAV files are preferred.

  • Please label your files as follows:

    • [Name]_[Section]_Video

    • [Name]_[Section]_VOX1

    • [Name]_[Section]_VOX2

    • [Name]_[Section]_VOX3

  • Remember your vocals should be acapella. We should hear no instrumentals in the background.

  • Make sure your audio files are the same length as the Demo as you export your audio files.  To do that make sure your loop function is the same length as the demo track. (See how to export vocals in GarageBand for detailed instructions).

  IF NEEDED:

• Tips for quick recording in GarageBand: Use loop recording. If you loop the section you want to record it saves you tons of time. This would be perfect for the VOX sections and added measures. For example loop M51-52 so you don’t have to keep setting up the track.  For details see tutorial video below.
