GarageBand for iPhone - it's actually useful - 10/04/12 01:55 AM
Now that it's down to $5, I decided to give it a whirl. I didn't think that I could actually have fun making music with it, but when I have to wait for my kids at music or dance lessons. So I bought it a few days ago. Attached is a link of the first song sketch that I've worked on while waiting for my daughter is in dance class. Most of the drums are loops that ship with the app. The opening non quantized kick and ride is my trying to play one of the kits. The EP is fun and velocity sensitive believe it or not. Though fat fingering is prevalent, it's workable. The synth leads are actually really cool - modulation can be played live by sliding the finger toward the 'back' of the key. Effects are decent. And there's a direct upload to soundcloud from the app.
Check it out - I'm not done - I'll be working on it more while waiting for my daughter. Surprisingly fun way to pass the time.
