Hey, so I'm just using the built-in mic on my macbook and I was
wondering if that worked okay or not. Por favor, listen? It's just the
first eight measures of the accompaniment or whatever to famous blue
raincoat, two flutes.

The quality on that is much better than I would have thought for a
built-in mic. IMHO, I'd say it's definitely good enough to make a nice
recording for this.

I really liked that, Shruti. Was that you double-tracked, or was there
another flautist involved?

Thanks!
Yeah, it was just me. It took me a couple of tries - with a metronome
in my ear - to get them to line up okay; I don't know how anyone can
do that with, like, a multitude of parts. It was actually very
awkward. It was like hit-record-get-fingers-back-up-to-flute on beat
one, breathe on beat two, play on beat three. I'm not sure if there's
a more convenient way to do that, but it seems like there must be.

I've never used GarageBand, but you might take a look at the video
tutorial on Multitake Recording at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#garageband-studio-42
and see if it's any use. If that doesn't do what you want it to,
perhaps just give yourself more lead time before hitting the point
where you want to record?
