• Singers can sing along to tracks created in GarageBand using the iPad or iPhone’s built-in microphone. For better results, you’ll probably want to plug a microphone into the dock or headset.
• Using real instruments with GarageBand produces not only better sound, but realistic practice, as you finger the actual instrument and not an on-screen keyboard/string set. You can connect a real MIDI keyboard through a USB cable (on most newer gear) or a MIDI adapter (on older equipment).

To record an instrument part in Garageband for iPad follow these easy steps: Step 1. First of all, make sure you are in Instrument view and not in Track view, then choose and tap the instrument you want to record. The Playhead can then be used to mark the starting point of recording. You can rewind to move it to start or tap on the.

Play keys.

The first thing you should check out in the Logic Remote app is the control bar at the top of the interface. The center display shows the playhead location, the track name, and the track number. You can navigate through the track list with the arrows on either side of the display.

Tap the view icon to navigate to different views, including the touch instruments, mixer, smart help, and key commands. The View menu is dynamic and gives you options based on the selected track.

Tap the library icon to open the patch library. From the Patch Library menu, you can access your entire Logic Pro library and choose new patches for the currently selected track. Logic Remote does its best to recognize the instrument you load and give you the right tools for the job. The Logic Remote smart controls give you cool-looking interfaces that are easy to use and fun to play.

Play guitar.

If you’re a guitar player, you may prefer to play all Logic Pro software instruments by using a fretboard on your iPad. If you’re not a guitar player, the fretboard is easy to learn (tap the frets to play notes), and frets can inspire you to play differently. You can drag the strings up or down to bend notes, just like on a guitar. You can also play with chord strips.

To view the chord strips, tap the view icon and choose the chord strips. Tap the top of the chord strip to play all six strings at once. You can tap any individual string to play it or swipe up and down along the chord strip to simulate strumming.

Play drums.

Logic Remote turns your iPad into an easy-to-use beat maker. With an Ultrabeat track selected, you can view a large screen of 24 drum pads. With a Drum Kit Designer track selected, you can choose the kit view. The drums are touch-sensitive. If you tap a drum with two fingers, it plays repeating notes (great for hi-hat), and as you spread your fingers apart, the pattern gets faster (great for drum rolls).

Editing is often filled with repetitive tasks. When you find yourself choosing the same menus and functions over and over again, open the key commands view and add a customized key command.

Use your iPad mixing console.

Tap the view icon and choose the mixer, which is worth the entire price of the iPad. The mixer shows you level meters; icons for automation, record, mute, and solo; pan knobs; faders; and the track names and numbers. You can swipe across the track names or meters to show different groups of faders. To view effects sends in the mixer, tap the Sends 1–4 icon beside the master fader.

Command Logic Pro.

Tap the settings icon to open the edit and track submenus. On this menu, you can undo and redo edits, create and duplicate tracks, adjust the velocity range of the touch instruments, and open Logic Remote Help.

Sketch songs with GarageBand.

You can start any project in GarageBand for iOS (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch), import it to GarageBand on your Mac to work on it a little more, and then import it to Logic Pro.

The workflow is smooth. One benefit of using all three apps is that you have a version of the project saved on your iOS device, in your GarageBand projects folder, and in your Logic Pro projects folder. Redundant backups will save the day.

Import iPad audio.

GarageBand for iOS is capable of recording other music applications on your device through Inter-App Audio. Many iOS apps support the Inter-App Audio protocol. It’s a great way to get audio from your third-party synths and drum machines into GarageBand and, eventually, into Logic Pro.
