However, I can't even locate this setting any more! -) The app is chock full of incomprehensible buttons and pressing one of them brings up a new window of unknown function. I've changed some of the settings in GarageBand, including one that automatically sets the number of bars based on how long you've played. I took a look at the links you've provided. I haven't figured out whether the sound quality is due to my unsmooth playing though. This placement sounds OK, but maybe a bit percussive. Regarding external microphones, are there ones you recommend? Currently, I place my iPhone midway width-wise on the upright piano, on the rear edge, microphone facing rearwards. Thank you very much indeed for answering my question and providing many useful links.
