Chapter 6 Working With Real Instruments 53
Adjusting Input Volume
You can adjust the input volume for a Real Instrument track. The input volume controls
the volume of the signal coming from the instrument or microphone. In general, set
the input volume as high as possible without causing clipping or distortion for the best
results.
To adjust the input volume, do one of the following:
 If the instrument or microphone has a volume control, adjust the volume control on
the device.
 If the instrument or microphone is connected to an audio interface, adjust the
volume control on the audio interface.
 In the Track Info pane, drag the Volume slider left to lower the input volume for the
selected channel, or drag it right to raise the input volume.
Note: You can’t control the volume of some audio interfaces and other devices from
GarageBand. If the Volume slider in the Track Info pane is dimmed, you cannot adjust
the input volume in GarageBand.
You can also add and adjust effects for a Real Instrument track. For information about
using effects, see “Mixing and Adding Effects” on page 72.
Using the Instrument Tuner
GarageBand includes an instrument tuner that you can use to check the tuning of any
Real Instrument connected to your computer. The tuner is especially helpful when
playing and recording guitars, basses, and other instruments that may need regular
retuning.
The instrument tuner shows a horizontal scale with zero (0) in the center. The note
name is displayed to the left of the scale. When you play a single note on your Real
Instrument, the pitch is shown in relation to the correct pitch for the note displayed.
