What ???

I’ve been using Garage Band for years on my ipad to sketch ideas then I finish them in Logic. All of a sudden I can’t open my old songs and I can’t update.

- I feel betrayed by Apple.

Music fun

I accidentally made a banger

Not enough diversity?

So, I don’t really write reviews. But, I had really wanted to write a song and decided I should use this app. I slowly found out that they have very limited instruments for the kind of song I wanted to make, most was just more upbeat instruments. For example, why isn’t there a flute? Or any other kinds of percussion like that to make more flowy music instead of all upbeat. It’s a good app, and amazing for beginners just, can be annoying.

Developers, fix this please

Whenever I use a specific synth sound (tight punch lead) from edges and angles pack, it makes my music files completely inaccessible..

I have the pack downloaded, but whenever I exit out of my song, it doesn’t let me back in, telling me something along the lines of “missing sound pack”

I have the pack.. please fix this because I can no longer access some of my greatest songs and I want to be able to make music with this pack. (Edges and Angles.)

Thanks.

Weird beat

Plz bring it back

Hello! I’ve been using GarageBand loops a lot so I like to practice music with it, but I was looking for some loops that you do not have so I made some research and heard that you used to have the Middle Eastern pack and I would love it if you brought the pack back to the sound library and I will leave you a higher rating.

Deleted Four Months of Save Files

What the title says. It randomly deleted four months of save files and sample recordings.
FOUR MONTHS WORTH including finished songs, samples and projects that I needed for college.
Nothing was updated, nothing was changed, the files just vanished and aren’t in any folders or the recently deleted folder. They’re not in the ‘cloud’ either. Just gone.

Apple support have been in touch and want me to send them a copy of the file. The deleted by the app file. When I pointed this out I received the exact same message requesting the file. Morons, absolute morons.

Done with Apple and this app.
FOUR MONTHS WORTH OF EFFORT UTTERLY WASTED.
I don’t trust apple any more. I’ll be using a Samsung phone from now on and never buy another iPhone.

All great but I have a suggestion!

When it comes to sampling audio could you make a plugin sort of like the au pitch plugin where you can alter not only the pitch of the audio but also the SPEED of the audio INDEPENDENTLY (two separate sliders perhaps) without having to put it into the sampler (because the sampler doesn’t allow you to chop and mix up the audio file it only allows you to create a loop that repeats which you can then record) please add this feature it would be very helpful!

Bad app

I can’t do anything it won’t play the sound get a better app

W

Downloaded to play undone by weezer

I love the app, but it is buggy…

The app is incredible for creativity. But developers are putting in half the effort. The app has a lot of bugs and glitches. From unexpected crashes. To not being able to play more than 4 notes at the same time (which was possible a few updates ago). To the sustain pedal not being registered if you start recording with it already pressed. These are the ones I most frequently encounter. Thankfully they have already fixed other bugs I used to encounter, but the ones I mentioned above seem to be persistent.

It was really confusing for me I did my recording and couldn’t at it to my song

I deleted this app a will ago and need a sing maker app I downloaded it again and now I know why I deleted it no hate but can you make it a bit easier

Percussion

Not enough orchestra percussion!

Hi

This app is fun for making and creating music and I do it often really fun but a problem when I drum It doesn’t do what I put it plays somthing else I don’t like it and app isn’t very professional but it’s a really fun app just for fun and free time

Amazing 🤩

Guess this game is super good I am eight and I wanna learn to play guitar. I have a guitar, but GarageBand also has one. But can you add ukulele to it?

Hi

It’s a great app for sure but the little kinks in it really irritates me like how when you try and make your own drum beat, garage band totally ruins the timing but on other instruments it doesn’t do that and how the amps don’t work at all. Still a good app with lots of sounds.
