Yeah, I’m going to work with Garageband on Ipad a lot more often. Garageband is a fun little toy. It makes you feel like you’re playing RockBand or GuitarHero, but with GarageBand, you’re being an actual musician.

However, I shouldn’t use my SM58 microphone with a USB interface hooked into the Ipad ’cause it uses too much power. The microphone works well, and records well, but I shouldn’t use a regular microphone.

I think I would need a USB microphone. I’ve been looking into getting an IRig Microphone, the one that you hook directly into the Ipad and it won’t use too much power.

I’m a newbie to the Ipad and the Apple gadgets, and I’m just getting the hang of learning it all. Like I said before, you can’t just hook a regular studio microphone into the Ipad with it being too much power, you need a special USB mic.

Garageband is nice though. They finally added a string ensemble to the instruments section (cello, violin, viola, etc.). Which is cool, ’cause when I do acoustic songs, I could add a cello or a violin along with it. I would like to see Apple add a horn ensemble though, they probably will sometime ’cause I would like to have a horn section in some of my stuff (like the sax, trumpet, oboe, trombone, etc.)

Garageband has been around a long time, but they keep updating the software and keep adding more cool stuff to it.

If I ever get a real band going someday, this would help give the band members an idea of what I would like my songs to sound like and this is one reason I’m doing this for.
