Description
GarageBand turns your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch 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. They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. Enjoy a 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, iPhone, or iPod touch and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Gather your friends to play and record like a real band with Jam Session.* 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 in email or send directly to Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud.

Customer Reviews
Thanks, Apple!
While this has always been one of my favorite apps to mess around with, a bug which caused me to lose several of my projects when uploading to iCloud convinced me that I'd be better off staying away from it for a while. Now that the bug has been fixed, I can't wait to dive back in!
New version download took long, still wont sync
To me sounds like everyone did the same thing I did, I tried to back my songs up to iCloud and they froze, the download took me about 4hrs, finally it finished and now I just tried to sync and the app won't update, my app says "waiting" anyone else have this issue?
Very good
This is very easy to use I just recommend more drum sounds for more of a modern hip hop sound and an addition of a brass section with horns
