Description

GarageBand turns your iPad and iPhone into a collection of Touch Instruments and a fully featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play keyboards and guitars, and create beats that make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note before. Plug in a guitar or bass and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use a Touch Instrument, microphone or guitar to instantly record a performance, with support for up to 32 tracks. Use the Sound Library to download additional free instruments, loops and sound packs created by some of the biggest producers in the world. And then share your song with friends and family.

Modern Pop

Can you add packs that are used in modern pop, Electropop and HipHop? If I want to create something closer to what we hear on top 10 songs i face with some hardship. We need some Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande stuff

Additions.

Very good, excellent to use, and easy to learn. But can you please add more synths (any type) and plugins? I’d appreciated with others.
