![]() Let’s say you have an idea for a song, so you noodle it out on your guitar or piano - or even with just your voice - and record it with a tap on the Music Memo record button. It’s designed to let you capture musical ideas. While Voice Memos only records voice notes and allows limited editing of those notes, Music Memos has remarkable powers. Music Memos (free) is to music what the iOS Voice Memos is to recording short notes. If for some reason you do not have GarageBand on your Mac, it’s just $4.99 - an incredible bargain for such a powerful app. The update is available on the Mac App Store and is free if you already have GarageBand. We’ll show you how to use Music Memos to begin working on a song, and then move the project to GarageBand to flesh it out. Music Memos was recently added to Apple’s iOS 9 apps and it’s quite a remarkable piece of programming. The addition of Logic Remote compatibility to GarageBand means that the companion app can be used as a “sideman” to the main app during live performances or recording sessions.įinally, probably the most important update to GarageBand is that it now opens Music Memos projects. If you’re not familiar with Logic Remote, it’s a companion app that previously worked only with the Logic Pro X app to let musicians “record, mix, and even perform instruments in Logic Pro X from anywhere in the room.” The app also supports Logic Remote (free) for iPhone and iPad Pro. What else is new? Apple’s made GarageBand even more accessible to those with disabilities. At some point, you’ll be asked to enter your Mac’s administrative password to allow installation of the complete Sound Library. To make sure you have all of the new loops and sounds updated, launch GarageBand, then open Garage Band > Sound Library > and select Download All Available Sounds. The app has been updated to provide more reliable downloads of extra content. Last Thursday’s update added over 2,600 new Apple Loops and sounds, meaning that you’ll find just about any music genre or instrument you can think of.Īpple realizes that downloading additional content like this can be problematic in the past, some versions of GarageBand would lose contact with Apple’s servers in the midst of a content download. What’s great about loops is that they can be used as building blocks to create complete songs as well. The loops are short, professionally-recorded pieces of music that last anywhere from one to many measures they can be added to a recording to provide a solid percussion line, a backing bass line, a brass section, you name it. GarageBand has always had a built-in library of Apple Loops and sounds. ![]() GarageBand 10.1.1 for Mac GarageBand for OS X In this pre-NAB update, we’ll give you an idea of what’s changed in Apple’s “non-professional” music creation, recording and editing app, and how to use the iOS Music Memos app with GarageBand. Apple gifted Mac users with a surprise last week - a major update to GarageBand that included a lot of new toys for those who like to create their own music in the app.
