One disappointing feature is that file transfer still works only one way. When using Voiceover the Smart Controls inspector’s mono/stereo selector will now reliably show the correct value allowing you more hassle-free production. You can no longer hear breakthrough sound from the track you’re recording over, either. Replace Mode’s problem of removing audio from tracks you’re not using - as well as the one you’re actually working on - has thankfully been fixed. The latest version of Garageband fixes several issues with the DAW’s controls, like the tone slider for the metronome, and the track header volume slider, which now remains visible and works for all track header widths.

Some great updates and fixes in v10.4.7.

And features like plugins appearing in the order they have been applied help you build great sound from the ground up in an intuitive manner. Track headers can be customized with icons as well as names, and tracks can easily be color-coded for visual impact, helping you organize and streamline the editing process.Īlthough it can take a while to become familiar with the interface, menus are easy to find.

Other easy-to-remember one-click shortcuts help workflow and leave your hands free to play instruments. Smart controls can be helpful here as C toggles the cycle region on and off, while you can override it by selecting a region and pressing shift and spacebar when the track will start playing from the beginning of that region whether its toggled on or off. You can then listen to them individually and choose the best, making getting a good vocal track even easier. After the first two passes, the top left corner of the track will show the number of takes you’ve done. The cycle region feature is really helpful for recording. If the packs don’t show up after downloading all available sounds, then reindexing all Apple Loops should solve the problem. Once you’ve installed or updated the app, you’ll need to go to the GarageBand menu, choose Sound Library and click on ‘Download all available sounds’.

Plenty of useful recording tools, including cycles and simple one-click shortcuts.

Some features appear in both Logic Pro and GarageBand for iOS, like the amazingly flexible Live Loops View, which sadly isn’t in GarageBand for Mac. There’s even a rudimentary mixer in there too, with basic pan and volume versions of Logic Pro’s more fleshed out features. You can control and play any instrument in GarageBand on Mac wirelessly using your iPhone or iPad using the Logic Remote app.

A simplified Flex Time control changes audio timing and it’s also easy to transpose tracks, regions or notes by several different methods to add depth and complexity to your music.

Smart controls allow you to create original sounds from preset instruments in the sound library and there's a good mix and match selection of electric guitar amps, cabinets and pedals. There are 33 virtual drummers to choose from and each one can perform over a million unique groove and fill combinations to keep you inspired. These can be standalone tracks but they can also either be set to follow along with tempo.Īlternatively, designating your drummer track (or any other track) as the 'Groove Track’, means all others will follow along with it.

Flexible, multi-featured, cross platformįor a free audio editor, GarageBand pays impressive attention to detail, with options for each stage of music production including AI-powered drummers.
