Oh thanks, I didn’t realise that.
I use GarageBand on the iPad all the time, particularly for recording audio as I find it very straightforward. Lots of videos on my YouTube channel where I'm using it. A few of the many improvements I'd like to see:
Can it export MIDI files, yet?
GarageBand has automation for volume only. No panning or other effects automation.
*Looks like several people beat me to posting this same response.
As long as you keep everything within the iOS GarageBand, macOS GarageBand and Logic Pro ecosystem, you'll never need to export MIDI.
You can automate knobs and such on Alchemy and the built in stuff but I can't suss out a way to see it after it's been recorded, nor edit this stuff manually.
A proper mixer would be great. AUv3 automation would be nice. Honestly though if you embrace it for what it is pound for pound it does have a lot to offer. Getting a new iPad for Christmas and I'm very much looking forward to this being the first app installed after setup ( plus the plethora of AUs I'll need to re-download
)
@realdawei : I dunno, they’ve been doing some pretty creative things with Logic Pro X…
Agreed though the pace of development does seem like the work of 1 or 2 rockstar engineers burning the midnight oil.
I don’t dislike GarageBand for iOS, whenever I’ve used it in the past I quite enjoyed it, but I don’t go too far in it, I just start things in it.
I don’t dislike Auria either, I got to know it quite in-depth and started to persist despite the regular multiple amounts of crashes per session. I ended up knowing quite a lot about how to use it.
But, while I’ve got Logic Pro X on my Mac, I’m going to gravitate to that because it’s just so much better and I know it so much more in-depth. It’s where I spend a lot of time and I’m comfortable there.
In fact I’ve entirely given up trying to do anything on iPadOS that isn’t just running one single instrument and connecting it to the Mac by the lightning to USB lead. The iPad isn’t a production place for me now, the MBP definitely is. The iPad is a superb synth now – many synths in fact – but only one at a time.
GB is way more useful and sounds much better than it’s closest competitor NS2. The latter was totally underwhelming imho
Ok, GB doesn’t have a fully comp mixer but it hosts auv3 like a dream and it has audio tracks to boot
So, despite being free, it still demolishes NS2 and BM3, both apps are pretty much abandon ware
At least GB will be in constant development for years to come and still be free
As far as auria? It is so not suited to touch screen at all
If GB wasn’t free then I reckon forum users would respect it much more
I got into GarageBand twice.
Both times they updated it and changed everything.
Many cool features were also lost with the updates.
Never again.
Lots of truth herein
Still on the App Store Cubasis has ~1,300 ratings and GarageBand has ~64,000. From a reach perspective GB doesn’t really have a competitor but this forum does present an illusion of such.
GarageBand on iOS/iPadOS is nice and could be amazing if it got just a but more 'pro like' editing features and minor improvements to the built-in sampler (think Logic's Quick Sampler) and user samples for the 'Drum Machine' (Think Drag'n'Drop samples to the drum pads and an option to 'tune' the existing drums). Editing of recorded touch-instrument automation (and maybe even AUv3 automation) could be nice as well.
But I have to hand it to Apple when it comes to usability on the iPhone 8, it just works!
That's a very Apple answer 👍
That’s an excellent tutorial, if I do say so myself
I always use GB , start my idea on IOS and end in Logic
Actually it‘s the only“DAW“ that works good for me in iphone size.That doesn‘t mean much though because i almost never use my phone for music production.Too fiddly for me.
No chance // AUM til death
How easy or seamless is it to go from iOS GB to desktop GB?
From iOS GB to desktop Logic Pro?
I thought I gleaned something about the latest iOS GB making the Logic Pro handoff easier.
Not to digress much, but AUM is awesome. Starting with the mixer just works for me.
If AUM had a simple DAW-ish timeline for tracks so I could do basic arranging -- copying, pasting, moving, clipping -- that would be golden. AUM does NOT need to make a full DAW. But this view to make the arranging of audio and MIDI events across a timeline of tracks would go very far to make it even greater.
Very seamless. Airdrop GB project to Mac, open in Logic, Logic creates a Logic Project…any missing AU plugins show up as such in Logic
Hmmmm
TBH, I was SOOOOO burnt out on desktop DAW that I'm loathe to reconsider it. But then again I was loathe to go back to iOS, left for a couple of years, and it's much better thanks to AUM and other things.
Perpetual compulsion to buy yet another app is a problem. Though I guess it beats the gambling, loose women, and caviar addictions I had.
My main hassle with desktop DAW is that it sometimes took forever just to get to first base. The audio interface setup and routing setups would befuddle me. Today I have a TASCAM DP-24SD that is basically a hardware mixer with benefits, and it's easy to get going with my real instruments.
It’s got amazing potential but nobody to speak to at apple for our wishlists.
Regarding MIDI, One of the cool things about getting back in the iOS is to see how far along MIDI recognition has come along way for me to perform virtual instruments. With AUM, it hasn’t been difficult to set up MIDI as a way to perform the virtual instruments with either guitar or keyboard. If I can’t do that using garage band, that’s a negative.
No chance // NS2 til death
Never took to Garageband, whereas I’m just able to get things done and - more importantly - finished in NS2.
(wasn’t dissing AUM by the way 👍)
FYI, right now I am working mostly with audio. Not composing from scratch with MIDI.
I haven’t used Nanostudio since the first version years ago. I’m assuming it’s mostly for folks that are working primarily from MIDI compositions.
Thx
