Pros1 Ease of use, 2 intuitive interface 3 smart instruments AND the ability to hook up to real instruments via cord for electric guitar, via mic for everything else, 4 slick integration with the desktop program. Deftly treads the line between being approachable for total novice and completely useful for pro musicians. It removes the technical aspects of music creation, and allows you to concentrate on your ideas as youre on the go. All for the price of a pint of beer Are you kidding meApple hit it out of the park with this one. Cons. Since the release of the first i. OS version of Garageband the i. Pad version Apple has fixed the ability to import work on the i. OS versions into the full, desktop Garageband program, and added the ability to import Apple loops. Im at a loss to find other things you could add that dont start to tread into the land of feature creep. Its not the full desktop program nor should it be, but, WOW, it sure gets pretty darn close. Summary. There are a handful of apps that could be considered essential. This is one of them. Even if you have no musical experience, this app will bring out the musician you never knew you were. I figured out how 8. The process of discovery was fun in and of itself. I had delightful glee as I discovered ooh, it can do that Yes, it can do that. Some may question the need for phone version of Garageband. As a hobbyist musician with a demanding day job, Garageband for i. OS has transformed my songcrafting. I now capture melodies as the come to me. Before I started using the desktop version of Garageband, it would take me around 1. When I started using the desktop version of Garageband, that went down to 4 5 days. With the i. OS version, I can hammer out a songs melody, chord progressions and rhythm section on my 4. I created in Garageband with my real guitar, and finish the song over a few of hours in the evening. A complete song in one day versus 1. Thats a 9. 0 cut in my songwriting workflow. Literally. The difference is mobility. The ability to create music and not be tied to a computer or a lug around a laptop or even an i. Pad is truly freeing. It means I can create whenever and wherever inspiration strikes, in a way that is as serious and as productive as when I am at my computer or at my guitar. Musician friends of mine caution that the truly ridiculous ease with which anyone and I do mean ANYONE can create music using the i. OS versions of Garageband means the death of real music. I cannot disagree more. To me, it is the democratization of music. When Apple first launched the Mac, computers were the arcane province of geeks and programmers. By adding a graphical user interface and integrating the mouse, Apples first Mac took out the technical barrier that hindered widespread adoption of the PC. Microsoft followed suit with Windows, and the rest is history. The same thing is happening here. Garageband and other DAWs are taking out the technical barriers that prevent most people from creating music themselves, like being able to play an instrument and knowing music theory. But no program can make a crappy song great. The elements of a great song tight song structure, clever lyrics, hooky melodies, original musical ideas and innovative use sounds are products of our minds. Garageband allows you to concentrate on those things, in an uniquely mobile way. I can see the day, soon perhaps, when people will hear a song and say, Oh, thats nothing special. I could have created that on my phone in Garageband. For musicians, the stakes to create fresh, original and innovative music have been raised. Finale 2008 Free Download Full Version Mac here. Fortunately, the thing that has raised the stakes Garageband is the very tool we can use to surmount the challenge. Apple revolutionized personal computers 3. Mac. It sea changed music distribution 1. Pod and i. Tunes, and the smart phone industry 5 years ago with the i. Phone. Now, with Garageband, it is well positioned to revolutionize music production and how we think and talk about music. Garageband for i. Phone is going to be a game changer, no doubt about it.

It is a must have app Reply to this review. Was this review helpful 1. Pros. Brilliantly designed UI. My 5 yr old cousin can navigate it quite well. Truly smart instrumentsSound of digital instruments is quite impressive. Ridiculously fun as wellCons. Not really a software problem, but an i. Pad connectivity issue. You once could connect nice microphones Blue Yeti into the i. Pad to do audio recording. Apple lowered the power to the USB connection via i. Pad update. Now recording in the field with such a microphone requires a powered USB hub. Not very field handy anymore. Maybe in a future update Apple developers will give End Users the choice to power save or not power save on the USB connection via camera connection kit. Till then I am back to lugging my Mac. Book Pro around. Grrr Apple. They are acting like Microsoft on this. Summary. Overall this software is fantastic It is cheap, useful and a lot of fun Can entertain 5 yr olds and adults alike for hours Reply to this review. Was this review helpful 1. Pros. Simple interface that is easy to use, it doesnt take up all the resources of your phone to use. If you can hear it in your head, you can make the sound using your Garagebank i. S5. Cons. None that Ive found. Summary. Ive been telling everyone I know with an i. Pod or i. Phone about this fantastic application. You can choose to programme your own sounds or use the applications preconfigured samples. Smooth running, great sounds. Go on plug your device into external speakers and hear for yourself. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful 1. Pros. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about GBI cant wait to figure it out. Cons. But as a brand new user without much music theory I am overwhelmed. I am a singer and can sight read my vocal lines fairly well but beyond that Im pretty illiterate. My goal was to be able to upload karaoke tracks from my itunes library to GB and then record my vocals over them, then adding harmonies and effects,etc. Thus far I cannot figure out a way to accomplish my goal and am wondering if there is a way to do this or a different app that may be more suitable. Summary. Any feedback from yall would be greatly appreciated Reply to this review. Read reply 1Was this review helpful 1. Reply by micklerd on December 1.
