GarageBand

Make great music anywhere

Published by: Apple

Description

GarageBand turns your iPad and iPhone into a collection of Touch Instruments and a fully featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play keyboards and guitars, and create beats that make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note before. Plug in a guitar or bass and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use a Touch Instrument, microphone or guitar to instantly record a performance, with support for up to 32 tracks. Use the Sound Library to download additional free instruments, loops and sound packs created by some of the biggest producers in the world. And then share your song with friends and family.

GarageBand Reviews

2.3.17 files are now incompatible with 2.3.16 files

Cycling man on

Ireland

The 2.3.17 update has changed something so that files are now incompatible. Working across multiple devices is less practical or impossible, not a big deal if you are using 1 device, but breaking the ecosystem for some setups. The update didn’t even mention file format changes, just the never ending “bug fixes”

I really enjoy using this app but one thing that annoys me is if I accidentally delete something it does not let me redo it so if you by an accident press back it deletes and is gone for good i finished nearly a full song and by an accident clicked on the undo button and now I can’t get the last part of my piece back
