Recording equipment to put stuff on Instagram

[petebassist]

Anyone got tips about getting a decent sound when playing along to songs?

I put my double bass & electric bass clips on my Instagram channel, but I record video on my iPhone with the song playing through a speaker and my bass playing through an amp, so I pick up extra fretboard and string noise (I know this is less than perfect technique causing extra noise). I've got an iMac and GarageBand, but I don't know how to get a clean digital sound through that to mix with the backing song and the video footage.

Would I have to use iMovie to put the three things together? Thanks

You will need an interface to get your bass audio in there. A pickup is less ffaff than a mic. Audio interfaces are cheap on FB marketplace. 

 

You will need to have some sort of syncing noise/visual so you can glue audio and video together in iMovie

 

You will need to spend 3 or 4 hours on a "teach yourself Garage Band" YT series. It is far from rocket science, but if you just pile in and hope for the magic after 10 minutes you are destined for Dissapoinment Central.
