While many would argue that the only way to accurately capture an electric guitar performance is by mic’ing up your amplifier and hitting record, in my latest video I share 3 ways that you can directly input your guitar into your Mac so that you can record it in GarageBand.

I use a Native Instruments Guitar Rig Mobile to plug the guitar via USB. I've tried using an iMic and using the built in port of my white MacBook but they're all the same. They all make too much noise when the Garageband guitar amp is set for a metal sounding guitar. After that, open GarageBand and go to Preferences and click on the Audio/Midi tab. Select your input device from the pull-down list. After that go into your project and add a new track. Select Real Instrument from the selection screen if you are miking your amp, or using a keyboard.

The online user guide for GarageBand > iPad states that I can connect an electric guitar (or bass) for use with GarageBand for iOS, however, there are no instructions for doing so in the iPad portion of the online guide – just in the GarageBand for Mac section. (I'm thinking this might be an error in the guide)

My question: is it indeed possible to connect an electric guitar to an iPad? (I'm skeptical, because there's no audio-in port)

Second question: is there some secondary software that can be used to connect a guitar or bass? (just checking…)

BTW, I'm using an older iPad 3 (iOS 9), if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for any guidance on this

If you’re a guitarist who’s just getting started with GarageBand and are dying to jump in a start recording, you may be overwhelmed with the different gear options available to you.

Directly inputting (or ‘DI-ing’) your instrument in this way gives you more control over how your recording sounds if you choose to use Garageband’s built in amp designer and/or Audio Unit plug ins.
