I love it!!!!!!!!

Helped me and my friend write a song that is popular in our SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!

New update ruined

Can’t run GarageBand after update

The idk

I could not download it when I was on
5g

So far the only DAW I’ve used, this one’s definitely a great start but there’s a bit missing

Excuse my giant title here lol.
Anyways, I’ve used garage band for at least 4 years (?) and basically grew musically through using this app.
Currently I make more symphony orchestra centered songs though I definitely play with the chords a lot more than the genre asks for. ;) I try to move into other genres on this app but it’s honestly really difficult as lots of the things I want to add just don’t sound right. Plus there’s literally no harpsichords or orchestral percussion that I could find (other than the glockenspiel. Plus I have to make do with the toy celesta from the toy box pack 😔😔), which is honestly really limiting. It makes me rely on pitched instruments WAY too much, so I would love if you released orchestral percussion for GarageBand. Plus some more classical instruments like the harpsichord and the celesta of course because I can’t deal with having to use the toy one bro. It sounds so wrong when its played with a full on orchestra

Now the next few things I would love to be added!! Definitely an easier way to do glissandos on string instruments. I mean that’s probably a lot to ask but honestly I want to be able to toggle if the note is glissando up or down. That would make my life SO much easier and honestly way more fun when doing cool stuff in garage band. Also if possible separate versions of the violin family members for solos (PLEASE INCLUDE VIOLA AND BASS) and make the violas max velocity in the editing section way more forte, I feel like my orchestra director telling the violas to play out when im making the viola play at max velocity and the violin at like just over half is killing the violas

If possible different modes too (the medieval modes like Dorian Lydian Phrygian mixolydian all that) so I don’t have to make a song thats in dorian or sm to be its relative major/minor because thats not right

WOAH this turned long im sorry about that. I honestly love this app so much and I basically learned so much just from using this app to make music. I would use other daws but im broke atm so this app is currently my only option. I love this app to the moon and back and wish it was more than it is now. It would just make my life using this app so much easier.


ALSO some bugs I face, sometimes when I accidentally press the record button when I repeat parts of songs over and over the app starts recording but when I stop it crashes and I have to go back in and get rid of the recording made and then fix the existing track. Otherwise its fine, also maybe expand max volume thing because somehow if I have a whole symphony orchestra plus piano and two singer tracks thats already beyond max. Which might just be a problem with making the bass scream but im unsure really

anyways if anyone sees this review THANK YOU FOR READING THIS WALL OF TEXT and if possible go to my YT and tumblr and support me there if you wish :)

Chicago drill

Can you guys add Chicago drill for next update

Love this

I made music

Horrid.

Every instrument classification EXCEPT woodwinds. Dumps you into directories with no tutorial. Uninstalled.

Amazing

I never knew Apple could make an app so good that you don’t have to pay for

Wowie!

GarageBand has been my favorite for years and I’ve loved it much. A suggestion is that there should be a setting where you can change the looks between present GarageBand and classic old GarageBand. Thanks for reading and i hope you add this!

The Size and older iOS support.

The ability to reduce the size of the app, maybe offload some of the instruments, that don’t get used or deleted, somewhere where a user can download it again if needed, support for older devices and OS.

La mejor

La mejor aplicación musical e instrumental

Wow

Makes me emo tiki🐺🖤

AMAZING AWESOME GREAT and VERY COOL

This app or game whatever it is is like so COOL but I mean it’s GREAT

Awesome app, but somethings wrong with the plugin

This app is amazing. It allows me to connect Synth Pro to it, which I use to make import FNF chromatics, while GarageBand makes the FNF cover. Heck, I even use it to make Soundfont covers of other games. However, a few weeks ago, every time I opened up a project that had Synth Pro in it, it always said the following,

“Synth Pro” is not available on your iPad.
Install this missing Audio Unit Extension to continue using it in your song.

And it turns out I can still add a new Synth Pro extension, but unfortunately, it’s much more quiet, even when I turn up the volume. I’m not sure if GarageBand or Synth Pro is the problem, but I really want it fixed. Either way, the app is still really awesome and it allows me to create a lot of music.

It crashed, and most of my work is gone.

This app is amazing, though the crashes annoy me. The app crashes randomly when I’m deep into making a song, and it doesn’t even auto save. Now I have to redo 1 hour of work again because of a random crash, great app but terrible optimization.
