    Hope AU rendering issue is fixed...

    This ^^

    Does anyone who knows what to check for know if this update fixed the problems?

    I will double check but it seems that new update allow for proper AU fx rendering!!! ... except for ... audio damage suite unfortunately. Those plugs have issues almost with any host, I use them with AUM exclusively. New GB update render properly DDMF, FAC and Blamsoft fxs, even if leaving a blank space (one bar is nice) at beginning of song is needed for clean start rendering.

    As an Ableton user, I agree GB is the closest app to Live with session and arrangement views. GB loop mode can do both audio and midi loops, has scenes, is playable by touchscreen (you can even swipe loops for toggle start/stops), and you can record your performance for later editing in arrangement view. If you don’t like GB stock loops, just create them in other apps and copy/paste them in GB.

    This indeed is good news!! So, to be clear, Audio Damage AUs still don't work, and everything else works as long as you leave a blank space at the beginning of the song? Why is the blank space needed?

    Audio damage works good but don’t render properly on export, you can always have fun with them if you want. Other AU render properly now, wasn’t the case before the update. Blank space at song’s beginning seems to helps to have clean audio rendering start. In my tests, rendering tends to do some artifacts in first beats, and leaving that blank space without any music seems to helps. Use AudioShare to cut while editing post export.

    I truly like GB, it’s powerful and Ableton like, but it’s hard to understand how it’s possible Apple didn’t implement properly their own AU protocol in this app. And I need AU and love Audio Damage plugs.

    Audio Damage AUs don’t render properly with any host (besides AUM). It’s not a Garageband issue with AU’s, it’s an Audio Damage issue with hosts!

  • bricebrice

    It looks like Model 15 has some sort of preferential treatment in that it’s the only AU instrument I have that allows these expanded and full screen views. Anybody notice any others?

    Yes. It’s a Standard auv3 feature. BeatHawk does it too.

    No AU render properly through GB before that update, so it’s good news!!

    Also implemented by Kauldron, KQ Dixie, Beathawk, on the effects side FAC Plugins also.

    I’m hoping MV08 gets the treatment along with AUV3 MIDI out

    Find a strange bug. Did a song tonight, and find that bass parts first note don’t play. I had to join together all bass parts for allow that first note to play each time/on each bass midi part. Anybody has observed that bug?

  • scarletjerryscarletjerry

    I began doing digital music in the 90's. Has anyone thought about the fact that GarageBand gives you access to hundreds of instruments, including percussion, a virtual piano, guitar, bass, and orchestral instrument sounds, a sampler, as well as a sophisticated synth, and a multitrack DAW in device that is thinner than 1/4 inch and can be controlled by a touchscreen?

    Piano roll seems way smoother after the update.

    For a free daw gb is top dog. I’ll wait patiently for gb to do it’s upgrades but as long as they keep providing free sounds and kits then it can’t be beat. For as buggy as bm3 is I’ll just keep transferring my songs to gb from there and keep finishing them that way.

    Gb is way underrated.

    Just tried them all inside of Cubasis and everything looks fine.

    Also tried them in Auria Pro and Filterstation2 is the only one that kind of funks out. But its still very usable. Might be because of the sliders that slide up and down.

    GarageBand has never been my main DAW, amp sim, keyboard, drummer, or editing tool; however, it has and continues to do all these things for me when called upon. It’s a fantastic tool, and I’m not going to complain that it’s not quite free enough.

  • TarekithTarekith

    Does anyone know of any decent video walkthroughs for GB? The built in manual is fine for quick questions, but there's still aspects about the new clip launching and other new features I'd like to brush up on.

  • fprintffprintf

    So this is weird, I am looking in my updates section of the App Store and it doesn't show GB as available to be updated, or that I've recently updated the app. However when I check the version I have it shows I have 2.3.3. When did it update, recently?

    Thoughts on how the app updated without me doing anything? (I don't have auto updates turned on)

    So GarageBand can now “MIDI Learn” my face? :p

    The next update shall have support for full-on Air Guitar, not just wanky faces. :p

    The more variety of sounds, the better for me. Including zoo animals or whatever you got. :)

    People have to vent about something. Can’t vent about politics and world problems on this forum, so we bitchwhine about the shortcomings of Apple, iOS, app updates, and other topics relevant to the forum. If you were expecting different, you may be at the wrong forum. ;) Besides, there is plenty of love and praise showered on developers and their apps on this forum daily. Some expression of disappointment should be expected, as well.

    I'm sure everyone here can make a list of things that GB doesn't do that they'd like it to do, or need it to do for their own narrower requirements. That doesn't make the app a failure by Apple. Some people here fail to recognize what Apple has accomplished with GB, and so some expression of disappointment with that failure should also be expected. ;)

    That’s cool. But they may just be expressing disappointment at a missing feature that they really need. Maybe they love GB and want to use it, but can’t because it lacks some pretty basic features, rather inexplicably. I find myself in that category often, and I feel frustrated and disappointed, and in desperate need of validation. So I come here complaining, hoping to find some sympathy, just so I can go on and make through another day.

    Not really. :p But I do like to know about it when things suck, for whatever reason. All love and praise is pretty dishonest, while some bitching helps to keep things real.

    Yeah, it's really a matter of how the comments come off sounding. If the complaints are constructive and expressed with some sense of appreciation for what GB offers, and for free no less, then I doubt anyone responds to that negatively. Failing at that, criticism can sound whiny and out of touch with reality. GB is quite capable, but not every musician is capable of making it work for them. If someone really doesn't like the app and can't use it, then they can just delete what they paid nothing for and move on to the countless other options available. Or they can come here and act like Apple owes them even more than they're already getting for free. Some of us will continue to shake our heads over that one. :)

    GB is a top quality app, which could become as serious as a Logic Pro X for IOS.

    The only thing stopping that is Apple’s unwillingness to add editing functionality, and let it make contact with the world outside of GB.

    Fully agree. Especially that some people can get a little carried away sometimes. We really have it so freakin’ good right now, with all these amazing apps that cost as much as crappy fast food. I am doing things that weren’t possible before iOS, daily, with my iPad. So count me among the appreciative, grateful, and astonished, too. :) B)

    I'm going to play devils advocate and say that the little smiley icon on the synths is unwelcome and no one asked for it. The things we do ask for are things like connectivity with other apps and external gear, mapping abilities etc. When we get something as useless as this, I feel it's completely justified to make a ruckus about it. Because what will they do next? It just shows a disconnectedness and maybe even some contempt for the users who actually love the app as is. The Files app still sucks. Itunes still sucks. Why can't they put their development money into those two critical areas, rather than giving us more AR/AI and facial recognition... :s :s :s :s

    There are already too many baby apps... Did you know you can amuse babies with almost anything? Jingle a set of keys. Squeak a rubber duck. Babies didn't ask for this either and they'll bore faster with it than we will, I guarantee it.

    Yeah, you are probably right. Plus, you can only do it with a $1000 iPhone. I wouldn’t want my baby around it if I had bought one of those.
