14 DAY TRIAL // GarageBand for iPad has been updated to support importation of Apple Loops and other types of audio files, as well as to add support for audio output over AirPlay, copy-paste, and more.
“GarageBand turns your iPad into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go,” Apple states.
The Mac maker continues, “Use Multi-Touch gestures to play pianos, organs, guitars, drums, and basses on your iPad. They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument.”
Cupertino markets GarageBand for iPad as being the perfect tool for quickly initiating a project, whether it’s a professional one, or just kids’ play.
Users can employ a full range of Smart Instruments that make it easy to play good music even if they’ve never hit a note in their life.
“Plug an electric guitar into your iPad and play through classic amps and stompbox effects,” Apple continues. “Use the built-in microphone or a guitar to record, or capture any performance. Then mix up to eight tracks to create a song you can share.”
But this is all too well known for fans of the music making application. What users might not be aware of, however, is the new 1.0.1 update from Apple.
It brings support for audio output over AirPlay, Bluetooth devices and HDMI with the Apple Digital AV Adapter.
With the update applied, musicians and hobbyists will now be able to import of AIFF, WAV, CAF audio files and Apple Loops (16 bit, 44.1 kHz) into GarageBand for iPad.
The update also facilitates copy and paste of audio from supported apps into GarageBand, and addresses occurrences of GarageBand freezing while playing Smart Instruments.
Finally, the update should do well to improve overall stability as well as to address a number of minor issues, Apple says.
