=Creating soundtracks for video using Garageband. =


 * Import .avi/mp4 file to desktop (you can convert any format to avi/mp4 using the free online conversion tool [|zamzar])


 * Create a new project in Garageband and drag in your video clip. (you can now delete/mute the original videos audio track if you need to)


 * Create //new software instrument tracks// to add existing GB loops for background music and record GB sound FX in sync with video.


 * Create new //"real instrument track"// to enable onboard microphone for digitising voice/effects. (use fader to adjust mic level or select auto)

or **ADVANCED** //Tips and tricks// 1) Add plugin effects to enhance digitised samples (ie Compressor and EQ a must on vocals & try the presets!)
 * When project is complete, //share// and export movie using iPad compression settings (good quality and about 7 Mb for 30sec)
 * Delete movie and //share// export sound track only (tick compression and choose high quality file will be 1Mb for 30sec)

2) Use track automation for volume, panning and fading individual tracks.

3) Use Master Track to auto fade end or cut/boost overall mix. (Monitor using the master LEDs at the bottom to achieve unity gain 0dB)
