You can add a Guitar track to play and record an electric guitar in GarageBand. In an Electric Guitar track, you can choose guitar presets and amp models for highly realistic guitar tone, and add stompbox effects to customize your sound.
An Electric Guitar track is a special type of Real Instrument track. Recordings you make in an Electric Guitar track appear as Real Instrument regions.
To add a guitar track:
Click the Add Track (+) button, or choose Track > New Track.
In the New Track dialog, select Electric Guitar, then click Create.
A new Electric Guitar track appears in the timeline, and the Track Info pane opens showing the guitar amp.
Choose a guitar preset from the pop-up menu at the top of the Track Info pane.
Click the amp, then drag the amp controls below the stage to adjust the sound of the amp.
To choose a different input for the guitar, click Edit or double-click the amp, then choose the input from the Input Source pop-up menu.
If your guitar is connected to your computer with an adapter cable, choose Line In. If your guitar is plugged into an audio interface connected to your computer, choose the correct mono channel from the list.
To hear your guitar as you play and protect against feedback, choose On from the Monitor pop-up menu. On lets you hear your guitar as you play, but warns you if feedback occurs.
Click the stompbox on the stage, then drag the stompbox controls below the stage to adjust the sound of the stompbox.
When you are finished, click Done.
You can choose a guitar amp, add stompbox and other effects, and save your own guitar presets. When you save an instrument preset on an Electric Guitar track, the preset includes the current amp model, amp settings, stompboxes, and effects. To learn how, see Related Topics below.
