Overall Satisfaction with GarageBand

I use GarageBand to create jingles and original songs and also to record soundtracks for role playing scenarios for my training sessions. Using the built-in tools GarageBand allows me to easily modify the vocal tracks for optimal sound quality. Like any other Apple software, the commands are intuitive and the results are professional sounding. My clients are always impressed by the fact that I can create these amazing soundtracks by myself. GarageBand allows me to be effective and professional.
  • Plug and play with external devices
  • Nice sound effect for voice or instrument
  • Amazing sound quality
  • Very easy to export to Apple Music our Soundcloud for sharing
  • Using modified loops is sometimes difficult
  • Difficult to adjust the timing when recording tracks without prior metronome
  • Sometimes the input are not recognized immediately
  • The software keeps trying to connect the iPhone microphone even though an alternative input has been selected previously
  • Amazing value
  • Very easy to get started
  • For novices and professionals alike
  • Loops library is simply awesome
  • Export capabilities very effective to share tracks
