I was at the end of the road with Ableton but I know my work with Garageband will only improve with time. What do you think of the final product when compared to Ableton Live? Personally, I had a lot more fun producing something in Garageband then I ever did in Ableton Live, with the end result being really close. If I’m honest, the Ableton song does have more impact and confidence about it, but I think that’s more down to the fact I was so well versed in the Ableton Live workflow and toolset at the time, whereas with Garageband I’m still learning the ropes. Note: Garageband for iOS is perfectly capable of recording a real bass too, should you chose to do so. Real bass is obviously more organic and flexible though. Software-wise, everything I need is provided in Garageband, meaning a simpler, more intuitive, and more performant interface. The iPad’s physical form feels light years away from my days of sitting down at a desktop, allowing you to create music literally anywhere at any time.


Yes, I got the odd optimizingmessage, and towards the end performance/capacity warnings, but once I’d cleaned up my tracks it was fine.Īll in all, the Garageband spec seems to be aligned with my production needs. When You’re in Love consists of the following tracks: Drums, Bass (Both Garageband instruments), Lead vocal, 3x Backing vocals, Keyboards, Guitar (Both Garageband instruments),2x lead guitar (Garageband Guitar Amp).

Check out the track for an example, all recorded in Garageband with its standard instruments. With Garageband, everything is under one roof, and I’ve only just scratched the surface.

With Ableton, I spent a great deal of time and effort in researching various hardware and software options to get me the sounds I wanted. The drummer, instruments and the guitar/bass amp models are all great
