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.

BeatMayker ,

The program is good but there are a couple of drawbacks.

I like the garage band, but it has flaws that force me to switch to other programs due to the lack of professional instruments, please add the ability to adjust the key of the sounds that are in the beat sequencer so that I can make for example a kick in the key of the beat. Another huge drawback of the Garage Band is its equalizer, it has only three points for adjustment and this is not enough, please make it possible to add more sound adjustment points, because the sound is not always what you need and you get a bit with resonances. I would be glad if you add this to Garage Band, then I will not necessarily work in other programs, but I was able to work in this convenient and good program.

Can’t use

I have an old version of Garage Band on my iPad Air 1 and when I try to start it it asks Apple ID and when I put correct information in it just crashes. In App Store it says update and when I try to do it, I press download compatible version it just asks me again and again.
Please help.

I’m just so excited, guys!

I can’t believe that you integrated the alchemy synth into garageband! It’s like a day I was waiting for a many years, after alchemy was gone from appstore. A years! I just can’t believe you did it. When I opened the last update, I saw alchemy, it was like lightning moved through all my body, because a years ago it was my favorite thing ever. Thank you sooooo much! Thank you.
