Make music in iOS
Make amazing tunes on iOS – even if you can’t play an instrument.
We love GarageBand on our iPad and iPhone: it’s tons of fun, easy to use, and it works brilliantly with GarageBand and Logic Pro X on the Mac. That means it’s as happy in a serious music production workflow as it is being poked and prodded by a young kid on the sofa.
We use it to demo songs or capture musical ideas before turning them into finished songs in Logic; but it’s as easy for complete novices to experiment with unusual instruments and make beats.
There are lots of great music apps for iOS and iPadOS, with faithful reproductions of vintage synths rubbing shoulders with all kinds of beat makers and loopers. You can use many of them to record into GarageBand. Look for Inter-App Audio apps in the App Store. Once installed, you can then use that app by choosing External in GarageBand’s sound browser and picking the app you want to get audio from.
