Mix recordings.

GarageBand lets you adjust and add effects to recorded tracks so they work together and complement one another. Mixing tracks is the final step before exporting audio projects and sharing them with students, parents, or colleagues.

Try it.

Set the volume for each track. In a track header, drag the Volume slider left or right to lower or raise the volume level.

Apply it.

  • Record parts of a play or a skit using separate tracks. Mix the tracks so all the voices can be heard equally, then apply effects to enhance the characters’ personalities.

  • Add effects like reverb and echo when mixing a project to simulate the sound of voices recorded in different environments, like a large hall or a river canyon.

Go further.

You can add new sounds and even more effects to your projects with additional plug‑ins called Audio Units. Some Audio Units may already be installed on your computer, and many more are available from other sources.
