Hello, I like your videos a lot. Do you have any video explaining how to record multiple tracks in GarageBand? I would like to use 2 microphones techniques (like your BIG room tip) but I do not know what gear or set up I need. Hope you can help me, thanks.

@iangsparky All you need is a 2 channel interface. I like the PreSonus Audiobox USB.

Sorry i i ask a stupid qns... May i know if a speaker is necessary? is it for the guitar output? or the mic output?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@SonicXpress If you're talking about speakers to listen to your recordings on, then yes you NEED them. In the studio world we call them Monitors.

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@irishgurlxo Yes it will work with any computer!

@TheMusicDude1997 no, its a usb microphone

[PALTOOL1111]

do you have a video of how to set up this mic or can you show us how you have your settings set to record just as you are with an acoustic guitar? what is the best way to set the settings on my computer to get a great sound with my acoustic? any info or advice would be greatly appreciated

[coolanddark]

Great job with Blackbird! I think I like the Beatles mic placement best. I like that beefy sound! This video has been very helpful ! Thanks!

[TommyOrdster]

How would the last technique differ for a jazz guitar (with F-holes instead of soundholes)? Also, what are your input levels for the Samson C01U in System Preferences? Thanks so much for the videos; they've been super-helpful in my endeavor to create some demos with my band.

Hi! I love the beefy tone from the beatles mic placement, but can you use two mics to get an even better tone?
