Requirements: Compatible with iPad. Requires iOS 4.2 or later.

GarageBand turns your iPad 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 pianos, organs, guitars, drums, and basses on your iPad. They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. Enjoy a full range of 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 and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use the built-in microphone or a guitar to record, or capture any performance. Then mix up to eight tracks to create a song you can share.

Play your iPad like a musical instrument.
• Perform on dozens of musical instruments on the innovative Multi-Touch keyboard.
• Tap out beats from the seat of acoustic and electronic drum kits.
• Recreate legendary guitar rigs on your iPad with 9 amps and 10 stompbox effects.
• Record your voice using the built-in microphone, and apply fun sound effects.
• Use the Sampler to create an instrument from sounds you record, then play them on a keyboard.

Sound like a virtuoso with Smart Instruments.
• Tap chords to instantly create keyboard grooves with the Smart Keyboard.
• Strum chords on acoustic and electric Smart Guitars, or trigger fingerpicking patterns for popular chords.
• Groove with an onscreen electric or upright Smart Bass by tapping on chords.
• Drag drum instruments onto a grid to create your own beats with the Smart Drums.

Create a song anywhere you go.
• Arrange and mix your song with up to eight tracks using Touch Instruments, audio recordings, and loops.
• Trim and place musical regions exactly where you want them to play.
• Use the Mixer to fine-tune each track's volume -- solo or mute any track, or adjust pan, reverb, and echo.
• Use over 250 professionally prerecorded loops as a backing band to your song.

Share your songs.
• Email songs right from your iPad (AAC).
• Export your song and add it to the iTunes library on your Mac or PC.
• Send a project to your Mac and open it in GarageBand to continue refining your song.

While I appreciate the product. This sales guy sounds like a cult leader.

His speech speed patterns and inflections sound like a cult leader preaching to the converted.

The script for his speech is pure NLP.

[GregorRossi]

[Gazzlewazzle]

@GregorRossi let me know how you get on :-)

[Gazzlewazzle]

@GregorRossi Hi, sorry. You can sample your own guitar, and yes you can play the guitar like a real guitar in a fashion. I think it's worth the money myself, it's a pretty powerful app for the price :-)

[GregorRossi]

@Gazzlewazzle I am tempted to buy it, but a was wondering if you can recored guitar like if I played it in real life would it pick it up and recored it, ano you said u dont play any instrements but it would be great if you replied with a yes no answer

I have just downloaded garageband, I have various other music apps and synths. I have to say I think it's bloody wonderful, I've got a lovely little ambient soundscape going already.

Oh yes, I create sound sculptures (I can barely read music and cannot play an instrument, but I have 70 tracks on soundcloud now and lots of interest. It's the thinking of it not the tool as @captainVasily says, I like to create my own music and music forms :-) each to their own eh guys? :-)
