Personally i tried to stick with it because on paper it has everything - its free, comes with a bunch of content, etc… but somehow it just never inspired me (now im in love with AUM). You are right, but somehow they seem to be doing something wrong because GB just doesn’t seem to be that popular. They’re all ‘crippled’ in one way or said: You have to put up with compromises no matter which one(s) you use. None of the other DAWs on iOS are anywhere near as full featured as desktop DAWs either. As with all DAWs on iOS you need to use workarounds to make the most of them. The lack of busses can be frustrating but this can be approximated by bouncing stems and using the tracks as sub mixes or you just import the stereo mixdown to process it with plugins. But people tend to prefer to lament what’s missing rather than enjoy what’s there. It is very powerful and has tons of features. It’s the others that need to catch up to GarageBand. Guess it’s meant to be simple and dumbed-down.Ĭrippled? GarageBand is like the only sequencer on iOS that properly supports multitouch, has top quality touch instruments, regularly updated, clip launcher functionality, etc. GB is so crippled compared to the other DAWs. I’m really into features not content and presets.
