Of course, I’m biased, and even if I’m wrong, I find that stuff more interesting. I remain unconvinced whether presets in general are drawing more people into music making my strong suspicion is that actually recording their own ideas (as with Apple’s Music Memos, also introduced today) is what will connect with people passionate about music making. Apple is quick to mention “EDM” as a genre, though to be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Drummer’s attempt at aping various genres. ![]() But that story to me gets more interesting with third-party apps.Īlso new – a library of loop templates, and the Drummer feature from desktop brought to iOS. GarageBand 2.1 is also Apple’s answer to what to do with the iPad Pro for music making, with an updated display and extra controls. (It even borrows the circular display from Loopy and other recent mobile apps.) So it’s anything but “entirely new,” though it could be useful – and anything that draws more people to mobile music making may draw them in to third-party apps, too. In this case, it’s Ableton Live cross-bred with Loopy, in that there are pictures of the loops you’re triggering. You tap cells and columns in a grid to trigger instruments and sampels – so, basically, it’s Ableton Live. Now, Apple calls this “an entirely new and intuitive way to create amazing music,” but it’ll sound familiar. But there’s reason to take notice.įirst, there’s Live Loops. GarageBand 2.1 includes some features you may or may not care about. ![]() The mobile sibling of GarageBand and Logic on desktop doesn’t get a whole lot of attention, but it’s a reminder that music creation remains central to Apple – even the Apple that sells the world’s favorite phone, not just the Apple that sells the Mac. ![]() Apple is also releasing today a 2.1 upgrade to GarageBand for iOS.
