Recording a song with GarageBand and Apogee ONE

Forever is a complete song demonstrating ONEs amazing potential. Each instrument was recorded using ONEs internal condenser microphone with the exception of bass and electric guitar, which were recorded direct using ONEs instrument input. Using careful placement, vocals, acoustic guitar and even drums were all recorded using ONE's internal microphone. Once tracking was complete Forever was mixed in GarageBand, using only a pair of headphones connected to ONE's studio quality output.

Hey, so I've watched a few videos of people recording with one and they are all using a stand with some sort of attachment on the end to hold ONE. What is it? and where can I get one?

[apogeedigital]

@politzerd It is a ONE mic mount. You can purchase it from any Apogee authorized dealer, or go to the Apogee website and click on the store tab.

at 2:12 the video shows the drummer clearly hitting the floor tom followed by the snare, however the audio track sounds like a floor tom to the bass drum with no snare, implying that the video track is not the same as the recorded track. while this may not mean a thing, it means that it is possible that the miking may have been done differently than was in the video.

@DJWade7 Two different takes were filmed and recorded. When I did the editing that take looked better so I used it, but the audio was from the other take. If you like, you can go to our website apogeedigital and download the whole GarageBand session. In that session you will see that the drums are indeed recorded on a single track, and that track was recorded with ONE's internal microphone.

sounds great ,is there something you did to take out white noise ? when i use my one with garageband i always hear a lot of hissing. is there away to get a bright sound using one without whitenoise?

@robdrums69 The kit was recorded with ONE's internal mic, as a mono file in GarageBand. The only "Processing" was using the compressor, EQ, and a touch of reverb in GarageBand. You can download the GarageBand file from our website to see what we did.

the internal mic works great, it's the 1/4inch jack input for guitar isn't working after trying again there!

[sandhopper]

just bought this, however there's a problem! When I try to record in Garageband it won't receive any signal at all, i went to recording level and when clicked it can't physically be increased, it stays at zero, anyone any advice?

[Lookatyoumusic]

Wonder how screaming into one of those would go...lol

[stratsplayer]

Btw Great recording!

[stratsplayer]

Are the artists in the video a group?

[flawlite]

Now I know what I need. Thanks.

[iqgray]

I have the One and it Amazing well worth the price it's like four tools in one.

@kingrool0311 live rapping is different than recorded rapping

live mc's put their face practically in the mic to make the speakers go boom

if you're going to record a pre-packaged, commercial-type rap song I'm sure this would work nicely
