New Version needs updates
The apple loops feature is cool. The new look is similar to clip/session views from the well know DAW that rhymes with Mableton.
I like having the ability to create loops using IAA or GarageBand specific instruments.
The included library is pretty size able as well.
The effects look to be cool at first glance, but there is NO WAY to assign fx to a specific track... So when you use an effect, it is applied to the ENTIRE song (which is basically useless other than for filters).
The sequencer is much more difficult to find and access.
I feel as if GarageBand should be available as an INPUT for Audiobus, as well as an output.
Launchpad by Novation has a similar setup to Apple loops, except the effects are done CORRECTLY in Launchpad. ...I would love to see Novation collaborate with Apple in the creation of their new style, as well as creating a hardware companion to control GarageBand.
GarageBand is a great app, and this new update makes it easy for anyone with no musical knowledge to use... But for those of us who are looking to get serious, an update is certainly needed.
