How to Double the Audio Recording Time in Garageband from 90 to 180 minutes

If you are just using your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch as a Garageband digital sound recorder and you have come up against the dreaded 90 minute maximum recording time, here's a really simple fix.

The 90 minute limit is due to the maximum number of bars a song can have in Garageband.  For example you will get around 90 mins at 120 BPM.

If you need to double the recording time, then you can simply half the BPM to 60 BPM.  Suddenly you have 180 minutes of recording time.  Of course If you start adding other loops etc its gonna so a little ENO.

I hope this helps.  If it does please give it a like or leave a comment.

As you can imagine creating these useful videos takes time, so if you find this useful please consider making a small donation using the Donate button at the top of the right hand column. Even a few dollars really helps to justify to those indoors the time I spend on these 'it's a great excuse' :-).  But if you don't wish to donate thats fine but it would useful if you could give the fix a thumbs up and pop back to leave a message.

Please check out my other videos and blogs.

Many Thanks

Why do all Mac Garageband software instruments turn into pianos on the iPad iPhone iPod Touch

I've created a new video:


I start the video by showing that the Mac Garageband standard software instruments are not compatible with the instruments on the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch running IOS Garageband,

Having shown the issue the video goes on to show how the new fixed1t custom Software Instruments allow a high level of compatibility as I create a Bach Concerto in Mac Garageband using strings and port it successfully to the iPad.

I finish the video with a midi version of Black Magic Woman I created in Mac Garageband and converted, this which shows that the fixed1t software instruments contain:

Guitars
Keyboards
Basses
Strings
Drums
Organ

I hope you like the video, it really shows the flexibility and speed of using the converter, along with the fixed1t Mac Garageband Software Instruments are a great combination.  You wouldn't want to be doing it manually.  Would You? ;-)

Release of fixed1t Garageband Mac to iPad, iPhone and iPod Converter

I am pleased to announce the release of a new addition to the fixed1t range of Garageband support applications.  Since the release of my first Garageband to iPad 2 converter I have had increasing requests from users to develop the software to support other devices.

I had initially thought of continuing to update the original version and increase the cost (its ridiculously low really), but another user said they wouldn't want to use the converter on an iPod or iPhone and would prefer to stick with the iPad only version so why don't I have two?

I have taken this on board and am now releasing the:

fixed1t Garageband Mac to iPad, iPhone and iPod Converter

The range of devices supported is shown in this screen snapshot of the converter:

You can request a trial copy on the fixed1t website at:

I will be doing a new video for the converter which will be on youtube shortly but the two existing videos present the ease of use, speed and flexibility of the fixed1t converters.

Here is the tutorial video for the Garageband to iPad converter:

Here is a video of a converted Mac Garageband song file running on a 4th Generation iPod Touch:
