Recording a Single Take in the Timeline 119

The last thing to do before recording is set a “count-in” so that the metronome will

click for one full bar (four clicks in this case) or two full bars (eight clicks) before

the actual recording begins. The count-in gives you a “one-two-three-go” so that you

don’t have to start playing the instant you click Record. The Count-In button is on the

left side of the Metronome button and turns purple when it is turned on.

4 Click the Count-In button to turn it on and set the count-in to two bars so you will

hear eight clicks before you start recording.

5 Choose Record > Count-In > 2 Bars.

6 Make sure the empty Fingerstyle Bass track is selected.

7 Click bar 9 on the ruler to move the playhead to that position.

In GarageBand, the color red is only used for recording. During a recording, the

record button turns red, whereas a red region appears in the timeline as you record

to represent the live recording. Also, the playhead turns red during recording, as does

the LCD display during recording count-in.
