We still wish there was a way to record the knob-tweaking as part of the performance, but that's a rather small nitpick compared to what GarageBand enables even a layperson to do with music. Musicians who like to collaborate will especially appreciate the new "Jam Session" feature in GarageBand.
This lets up to four iOS devices, including iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches, to join together via Bluetooth to make a simultaneous recording. A small note icon with wireless radio "waves" now rests on the top toolbar. Tapping this button will allow one device to start up a session. The other devices can tap this button to join in. The "band leader" device controls playback, key, tempo, etc. Tap record on the control device, and all other devices will play back whatever music has already been recorded—or just a track if there's nothing there yet.
All four devices can play smart instruments, or record audio tracks from an instrument or mic. Once the control device stops recording, all the tracks are collected from the other three devices for mixing and editing.
We tested a quick jam session in action using an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, and it performed flawlessly. We think this feature will really be a boon to bands demoing songs during the songwriting process, during practice, or even for recording a full album.
GarageBand tracks from iOS devices can be imported on the desktop to GarageBand or Logic for further recording, editing, or mixing, so a jam session could easily end up as part of a finished recording. We also think the feature could be a lot of fun for music-minded friends, even just for goofing off. Merging or bouncing tracks is an excellent way to get around GarageBand's eight track limit.
Once you have, say, a vocal track and two backup tracks, you can merge them into one single audio track. This will free up two additional tracks for recording more instruments. GarageBand also offers more options for sharing tracks. You can use iCloud to save songs, which can be synced to other iOS devices. If you have iMovie installed, you can share a finished track to iMovie to use as background music for a video project.
We think this additional sharing support, especially for SoundCloud, shows that Apple is really beginning to understand social media. Finally, GarageBand now includes an improved project viewer that makes it easier to organize, sync, and share songs.
Tapping and holding on a project, or hitting the edit button on the top right, will make your projects jiggle like iOS app icons. You can tap one or more projects to select them, and from there you can share, duplicate, delete, or sync to iCloud. Projects that are synced to iCloud have a small iCloud icon on them. Projects that have been updated but not synced have an arrow icon; tapping them will either upload changes to iCloud or download them, depending on which device they are edited on.
You can also drag projects to reorder them, or drag them on top of one another to create an iOS-style "folder. It is a candy store with invisible, one -way lids: they keep the candy clean but you can reach right through and grab whatever you need for the next part of your song!

I am waiting to hear that someone has used this for an entire movie score Thank you for presenting this app to all of us to use it! It is almost God-given! Out of hundreds of apps on the App Store, it is by far the most user friendly I have ever been able to use. Although not everything about it is completely obvious, it is absolutely worth it to spend time playing around with and discovering new tricks and settings, that aid or streamline the music writing process. All in all, however much I dislike the issues with the usage of the sustain pedal feature, any grievance I have with that is dwarfed by my admiration of this app and my appreciation of the undoubtably talented people who put energy into making music so easy.
