MuzikTeechur Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I agree - I own Galileo, Sample Tank, etc. etc. etc. and the GB B3 stands up pretty well. Caveat: it's REALLY difficult to transfer GB files from OSX GB to iOS GB. Also, GB doesn't export MIDI (but you can import to your heart's content). I hope they fix both of these glaring problems soon. Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

Synthoid Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Tried the GB Hammond sounds. Really not too bad for rehearsals... Does it come with an iVent? When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGITC Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Save a few bucks! Garage Band for your iPad/iPhone is free today. Maybe tomorrow, too... (10/23) Excellent, Lonnie! Also "Learn GarageBand in 30 days" is free. It's got 81 HD video lessons. I snagged that too. Wait. Only the first 3 lessons are free. Bummer. Thanks.

MonksDream Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks! Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Also, GB doesn't export MIDI (but you can import to your heart's content). So maybe a dumb question, but how exactly do you go about importing a SMF to GB on an iOS device? Do you have to do it through iTunes or can you just copy it over via USB and find it in GB?

MuzikTeechur Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Also, GB doesn't export MIDI (but you can import to your heart's content). So maybe a dumb question, but how exactly do you go about importing a SMF to GB on an iOS device? Do you have to do it through iTunes or can you just copy it over via USB and find it in GB? I was referring to importing MIDI files to GB for OSX. However (from the web): "...sharing into GarageBand on the iPad. Importing MIDI Files is not possible. However, if you really need that feature , there is a workaround. Very complicated, but doable. Import the MIDI file into GarageBand 11 on the Mac (sorry, Mac only) Save that GarageBand Project Modify the GarageBand file so it can be imported into GarageBand for iPad. Per default, you cannot open a GarageBand 11 Project File in GarageBand for iPad, even if they have the same file extension (.band). There is some information available on the internet how to surgically alter the GarageBand 11 file so it can be opened in GarageBand for iPad. Import that modified GarageBand 11 file into GarageBand iPad. Open it and copy the MIDI Region (tap on the MIDI Region and select Copy from the command strip) Now switch to the Song where you need that MIDI file, select a MIDI Track and Paste the Region (tap on the Track Lane and tap on the Paste command) As you can see, you really have to have those MIDI files badly to jump through all those hoops."

J. Dan Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Ok, so not possible for me having a PC. That's what I was thinking, but I thought your comment referred to iOS, so I thought maybe I was missing something.

RudyS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It is still free, but it only works if i update to IOS 7. I wanted to postpone that as long as possible.. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am not on iOS7 and it works for me. It jus offered me to download last compatible version. I am on iOS6. Custom handmade clocks: www.etsy.com/shop/ClockLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Weird, my Iphone really says it needs the update in order to download garage band. Is it worth it? Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenner13 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 iOS7 is a pretty big change from 6...took me quite a while to get used to it. There has been a follow up update and the photos work for my set lists and chord charts again. Garage Band is a very stong musical app...it's a matter of perspective, but I like it a lot.

It's a huge change from 6 and pretty buggy IMO. I was just notified that version 7.0.3 was available so I am trying the latest upgrade to see if I can get my phone to behave with this third bug fix.
