Touch-screen music done right (pictures)
GarageBand has been around for a while, but it continues to impress with excellent instrument layouts and intuitive recording controls.
Play it like a guitar
You can pluck the strings or play switch and play them as chords. Guitars also come with various effects appropriate to the style of guitar.
So many options
There are several different types of instruments to choose from, each with their own unique sounds.
Save your songs
Your songs are laid out in a grid to make it easy to find the one you want to work on. While I know what most of my songs are, I think I need to work on giving them names.
Smart instruments for the less musical
The smart instruments are truly amazing in their capability to make even those with little musical talent sound great (I should know).
Clever instrument layouts
Can't play piano? No problem. Use the smart version of instruments to get a clever layout of chords and bass notes that makes it easy to put together a great song quickly.
Settings and options
Use the buttons in the upper right when you want to drill down to some of the more advanced settings and options.
Switch to the track view
With the track view you can add instruments to your song, create loops, or use one of the many premade loops included with GarageBand.
