GarageBand is a permitted application created by Apple to turn your iPad or iPhone into a portable music studio. Once the app is connected on your device, you will be able to play instruments, record your compositions and share your music wherever you are.
In addition to giving you the freedom to compose, GarageBand
has an extensive library of sounds, samples or samples and loops that help you
achieve a professional result in your musical pieces from the first moment.
From ANOVO we tell you in detail how this app works so that
you can start using it in your musical creations.
How to get started with GarageBand
GarageBand, Apple's music creation app can be used both on
the brand's mobile devices, iPad and iPhone, as well as on Mac desktops and
MacBook Pro laptops.
You can download the different versions from the App Store,
where the application has a rating of 3.8, or from the Mac App Store, where it

Features
The main features of the Apple application are:
Play instruments
With GarageBand you can play instruments in 3 ways:
•Connecting a MIDI keyboard (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) via USB to the equipment.
•On the screen of your device. To view it, select
"Window"> "Keyboard" or press the "Command" +
"K" keys.
•With the computer keyboard, enabling the "Musical
writing" window. To view it you just have to go to "Window">
"Musical writing" or press the keys "Command" +
"Shift" + "K". To play the notes, press the keys that the
musical writing window shows you.
Its tactile instruments feature highly realistic graphics
and musical behavior. In addition, you can add rhythms and sounds as if you
were a professional musician.
Among the virtual instruments offered by the app, the
acoustic or electric guitar, the bass, the drums, the piano, the drum, the
organ and the synthesizer stand out.
Record music with GarageBand
The interface of the app for the recording function is very
intuitive. You will see the different sound tracks, voice and instruments that
you can edit and mix later as you wish. You have a maximum of 32 tracks available.
To start recording add a track by pressing the (+) key,
select the software instrument, real instrument, library sound or voice (for
voice recording you need a microphone) that you want to add to that track and
press on the "Record" icon. You can play all you hunger and then
GarageBand lets you listen to it and keep your favorite part as if it were a
recording studio.
Record Podcast
At ANOVO we have already talked about apps to listen to
podcasts and the importance that this audio format has acquired within the
digital content present on the internet.
To record a podcast with GarageBand you just have to select
the option on the home screen, add a microphone track with which we will record
our voice through the microphone connected by USB to the computer.
You can improve your recording by adding music, sound
effects and other audios. Also, for those suitcases in which it is going to be
shared in video format, you can include illustrations, bookmarks, URL
addresses, chapter titles or information about your episodes.
