Now you know how to use Inter-App Audio Apps in Garageband, the world is your oyster, right? You’re free to link all of your audio Apps to your Garageband iOS projects…. When it comes to beginner-friendly, free digital music production, GarageBand is second to none. Success! your recorded audio from your linked App will show up in your Garageband project. Records audio from the linked App into your Garageband project. Skips back to the start of the project 3. Tapping the icon of the App linked to your track will switch the display to that App – with the addition of a small control panel.ġ. Tapping the jack icon will open the input settings screen, where you can switch between linked Apps, select which channels to use (Stereo, Left or Right) and switch the monitor function on and off ( you’ll want this on if you want to hear what you’re playing…) If you set up without anything attached to your iDevice, you’ll get something along the lines of: “Point your iPhone/iPad towards the sound you want to record then tap the Record button above to begin.” *Your message here may be different to the one shown – I attached my iRig HD, so got this one.

IAAA is no exception – uh… actually this isn’t strictly true this time around. ![]() If there’s one thing Apple is really good at, it’s making their features and apps intuitive and easy to use. In practice? Well, in practice things aren’t quite as simple as that… ![]() On paper, it’s a fantastic idea – emulate the functionality of 3rd party programs like Audiobus and Jack, but make it Garageband native, improving stability and essentially “cutting out the middle man”.
