the place where you see all the recorded instruments / tracks, mix them together, apply effects, etc.). In all fairness, the large 12.9” screen would most certainly lend itself well to music apps and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation – a.k.a. So, expanding some of the iOS apps' features to a point where they touch the capabilities of their OS X counterparts could score the iPad Pro some more points with potential buyers who are still on the edge. The 12.9” tablet baffles many, as techies are wondering why anyone would buy such a huge iOS device, for the price of an OS X-loaded MacBook Air (though, in all honesty, Apple fans were already depleting the iPad Pro stocks on launch day).
So, about the big update – we can't help but feel that this is one among the many moves intended to increase the perceived value of the new iPad Pro. Sound packs contain sounds, loops, and other kinds of content you can use to build songs.
After you install GarageBand, three types of additional content (collectively called content packs) are available to download in the Sound Library: sound packs, Producer packs, and Remix sessions. It's a great tool either to use as a drum machine to jam along to, or to lay out a beat for that song that you are trying to compose, before you forget the melody.

Then, you can fine-tune the aggression and complexity of the generated beat in real time, as well as add or take away the use of specific drums. First, you get to pick “who” your drummer will be – there are a bunch of profiles you pick from, each with a human name and “bio”, which will tell you how that exact algorithm will approach the drum beats – whether it will be heavy on the kicks or cymbals, whether it will do a simpler, groovier approach, or if it will try to cram complex blast beats in there, so on and so forth. Apple has added the Live Drummer feature from the OS X version of the app, which is fantastic news for those that use GarageBand for music composition.īasically, the new Drummer generates a beat automatically, but the user is given great control over how the pattern is created. OK, enough jokes about DJs and musical talent, let's move on to the next addition to iOS GarageBand, which really makes this update shine. And the mobile version of GarageBand runs faster on the new tablet as well.
Apple has pretty much made DJ-ing accessible to anyone with an iPad.

In our battery tests, the iPad 2 showed a slight improvement over the battery life of the original iPad. But for the most part, the stock soundboards are so good that you can literally press random buttons and end up with a quality beat. The stock selection of sounds is pretty nice-sounding, but you can also import your own sounds, or even grab whole songs from your iTunes Music library to chop up and turn into loop samples.
