Garageband + Audiobus On Sonic Touch
The latest episode of Sonic Touch takes a look the new iPad, AudioBus and GarageBand 1.2.
Apple’s iPad announcements were unsurprising, but exactly what they needed to do to maintain their dominant place in the tablet market.
The GarageBand for iOS updates, though, make an already useful tool much more useful. I was most interested in the addition of editing tools, but the Sonic Touch guys make the case for digging into the new wireless collaboration capabilities.
The announcement of AudioBus is also a welcome surprise, and could lead to an explosion of collaborative audio features for iOS, just as Open Music App Collaboration did with MIDI.

GarageBand For iOS Updated, Here’s What’s New
Apple today updated GarageBand for iOS.
Here are the highlights:
- GarageBand 1.2 introduces Jam Session, a feature that lets groups of people wirelessly connect their iOS devices to play instruments and record live music together. Jam Session automatically synchronizes the tempo, key and chords of your Touch Instruments. After jamming, everyone?s tracks are automatically collected on your iOS device for you to edit and mix.
- GarageBand also introduces Smart Strings, a new Touch Instrument that allows you to ‘play’ a string orchestra with one finger.
- The new Note Editor is probably the most welcome addition. It allows you to fine tune a Touch Instrument recording instead of replaying it from scratch.
- Integration with iCloud keeps your GarageBand songs up to date across your iOS devices, and you can share your finished songs directly to Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud.
Interesting updates – especially the note editor.
GarageBand 1.2 will be released today for $4.99. Updates are available for free to existing customers.
