I fiddled around with Garageband when I got my first MacBook but couldn’t really figure out much to do with it. Figured it was just for musicians. Today I tried out the new iPad app and discovered a completely different experience.
First, there’s something about using your fingers that just seemed so much more intuitive than a cursor. And they’ve made the iPad app for people like me who can’t read a note of music or carry a tune.
I’ve only started playing with Garageband so won’t attempt a review, they must be all over YouTube and the Apple website. But here’s my first effort.
I thought the Dunn Bro line was one of my best.
And the iPad app is a big leap forward for non-musicians like smays.com
I promise you will hear more from me. Next one might be “The Web Is My Bitch”
You had me right up till “Dunn Brothers done be done” ;)
To think you did that on your iPad is amazing. I’ve tried to use GB on my Mac and I feel like a toddler trying to do Algebra.
Great job. Groovy!
How did you get your voice to sound like that? It actually sounded good! Good for 1980…
I had the same experience. And after a couple of weeks with GarageBand on the iPad, I reopened GB on my iMac and realized I might be able to use it, too. Having the iPad experience served as a gateway to being able to use the desktop version, I suspect.
I still won’t use either one very often, probably. But boy, that iPad app is fun to play with.
