I love the flexibility of Garageband on the iPhone/iPad. Having a mini recording studio in my pocket means that wherever I am and whatever I’m doing - when that flash of inspiration strikes, i’m able to capture and record those fickle melodies, fleeting tunes and sneaky beats whenever they pop into my head.
There often comes a point however, when I go as far as i can with the Garageband App and want to take my project a bit further - give it the full on Garageband '11 treatment, you know?
Luckily, it’s easy enough to transfer your Garageband projects from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac....
I LOVE answering any questions about Garageband - hell, helping you master Garageband is what this site is all about, but i've been wondering recently if having a series of posts that answers some of the questions I get asked the most would be a good idea....
Kind of a resource I can refer people to if and when these questions come up, you know?...
Are you just starting down the path to Garageband enlightenment?
Wouldn't it be great if someone put together some sort of list that outlined some of the best tricks and tips?
Lucky old you.......
Picture the scene - you're happily working away on your amazing new Garageband project, perhaps you're recording an awesome Piano track or putting the finishing touches to your podcast when - seemingly out of no where - that spinning beach ball of doom shows up and you get this most dreaded of error messages........
There’s no denying that Garageband is a streamlined and user friendly program, but what if I told you that you could make things not only easier, but a hell of a lot quicker to boot?

That’s right, it’s not just us mere mortals who can’t get enough of Apple’s musical marvel - Some of the biggest names in the music industry love to use Garageband regularly....
If you want to get your audio sounding anywhere close to professional, learning how to use the compressor needs to be pretty high on your to do list.......
I've been a musician for longer than I care to remember and though I don't make a living in a recording studio, I have spent the last several years getting to know everything worth knowing about Apple's Garageband.
