GarageBand

GarageBand turns your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play a piano, organ, guitar, and drums. They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. Enjoy Smart Instruments that make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note before. Plug an electric guitar into your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use a Touch Instrument, a built-in microphone, or a guitar and instantly record a performance with support for up of 32 tracks*. Record performances from third-party music and effect apps directly into GarageBand using Inter-App Audio in iOS 8. And share your song using email, Facebook, YouTube, SoundCloud, or AirDrop for iOS.

Secsy dude

I have made 15 songs so far but having to use the same old noises from time to time gets old fast,I would like to see a new update that adds tons of new noises if possible also those noises should sound ...well kinda like the ones you hear in extremely popular dubstep songs just saying

New Live Loop Causes Crashing
Creativity17

I live GarageBand. It's my favorite app for making music. The only problem, is that when I try to create a new, custom live loop, the app crashes. I'm using an iPod touch (6th gen), so it shouldn't be crashing. Please fix this problem.

Best DAW on any mobile device
jony for now

I've been using this mainly as an idea catcher until i purchase a full studio setup. It is in no way meant to be used as a professional recording workspace, but it is perfect if you just want to make some instagram covers or get a sample of a song you're working on. However, a lack of dynamic tempo changing, a lack of odd time signatures, and a somewhat small selection of instruments and effects makes this app only a substitute for a real DAW. If you're a beginner or want to just try some things out, then this is perfect for you. If you're looking for a professional sound, you probably won't find it within this app without external mics and about a hundred dollars worth of other apps. Suggestions: -more time signatures -tempo change within the song -more control over effects -more control over the virtual drummer

NNEEEEDDDDSS UPDATE FAST
Heavenly Locked

When I open the app and go to a song and click an instrument it doesn't show the instrument at all

Missing a few things

I know they probably wont see this, but if you do i think it could be improved by adding percussion instruments (triangle,woodblock,crash cymbals, chimes, etc.) and by adding saxophone and trumpet as another option.
