Hoping somebody can help with this as it's driving me crazy. I've been playing acoustic guitar and singing for a while now and have a number of cover versions. A year or so ago I started recording myself playing and singing with my mobile phone but the sound quality is pretty awful.
My voice sounds ok but my guitar has an awful muffled sound so clearly a mobile phone is not a good device to record music on.
Somebody on YouTube advised me to invest in a DAW system so I went and bought a focusrite interface. I have a mic, my guitar and headphones plugged in to this interface which is hooked up to my MAC computer. I've been using software called garageband. So I've done some recording of some of my songs and the song quality is excellent. It really sounds like a professional recording.
Now this is the bit that I can't get my head around. I would like to get this on to my YouTube channel but obviously all I have at the moment are audio files within the garageband app with no visual of me playing them.
What I would like to know how to do is how I would video record myself playing so I have a visual video of me playing but with the sound quality of the garageband recordings?. So viewers looking at the video on YouTube can see me playing but instead of the awful sounding video recordings I did on my mobile phone, the audio they hear is the garageband quality professional sound.
The MAC PC I have is a MAC mini hooked up to a monitor which doesn't have a webcam but obviously I can buy one and connect it. Do I need a webcam? Does this hook up to the garageband app somehow? Do I need to take the headphones out of the interface and hook up speakers instead?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really want to start getting my YouTube channel going and start uploading my acoustic covers but don't want to put the mobile phone recordings on there as the sound is poor.
Thanks in advance
