by I had this problem when recording “the essential apple show” on my iOS device when using Garageband. When you start to record anything in Garageband you can only record for 8 seconds. For the musical types this might make sense but for those like me who pick up and fiddle about with things, its confusing. Here’s how you increase the recording time in Garageband.
Ready to record your first Podcast in Garage Band that’s longer than 8 seconds? Right then, fire up garageband and get the recording screen. On the top bar where the slider moves along at the top, tap the nicely hidden + button. This brings up the song sections dialogue.
The guide has been updated for the latest versions of Garageband for iPad and it applies to the Mac version of GarageBand as well.
And before we get into the HOW TO if you use GarageBand, produce a podcast or anything at all (within reason) let us know and we’ll be happy to share your creations with the world. Hit the contact us link at the top and go from there.
Slide Automatic toggle to the right and Garageband should look like this.
Now all you have to do is go back to the recording screen and start recording and you can now record for more than 8 seconds in Garageband for iOS.
This doesn’t tell me how to record a 45 minute lecture or similar. How do you do this is garageband? Or I want to move a file to GarageBand longer than a half hour.
