GarageBand for Mac finally got an update… What’s new?

Honestly, not much; no new features, no updated app icon, and some sound packs still missing.

In this video I break down what’s going on and why it’s a wee bit concerning.

Learn MIDI in Logic Pro for iPad lets you map buttons, knobs and faders on your MIDI controller to anything inside Logic.

If you want faster workflows and less screen tapping, this is a feature you should absolutely be using.

Despite being around since the launch of GarageBand for iOS, it seems like nobody uses Smart Drums in their projects anymore...

Do you?

Here's how they work and why you should consider using them in your next project

Tapescam is a lo-fi drive and tape emulation plug-in for iOS and macOS. I used the plug-in to give this track an 80s sound character. youtu.be/zTakg207NHI?...

The M5 iPad Pro is a bit of a monster.

I spent the last few weeks testing it for music production, Apple AI, gaming and real creative work, and I am genuinely impressed.

I also put it up against my M2 iPad Pro and the new 2025 iPad 11...

It turns out Apple Loops might not be as “royalty free” as we’ve been led to believe.

In this video, I test what happens when you Shazam GarageBand and Logic Pro loops and the results are honestly pretty worrying.

Really respect how Baby Audio are handling the release of Transit 2 on iOS.

Because the App Store doesn’t allow upgrade pricing, they’ve priced the full version at £9.99/$9.99 for everyone.

RePitch 2 is here, and it’s a serious upgrade for anyone who records and mixes vocals in GarageBand.

In this video, you’ll see how I use RePitch 2 inside GarageBand to tighten multiple vocal takes, correct tuning, and align timing in seconds!

If you’ve ever struggled to get your mixes to sound right on headphones, this might be the fix.

In this video, I take a look at ​⁠IK Multimedia’s ARC On Ear, a headphone correction and virtual monitoring system that promises to bring studio-level accuracy anywhere. 👇

One of GarageBand’s most powerful synths has been hiding in plain sight.

Alchemy might be built in, but it’s every bit as deep as the big-name third party instrument Apps.

Check out my latest video to see/hear why it still sounds incredible!

Want pro-quality guitars in your tracks without recording a note?

I check out LANDR Guitar; a free plugin (for a limited time) that gives you real riffs, loops, and expressive parts you can drop right into GarageBand or Logic.
