Apple Updates GarageBand - umsonst für neue Mac und iOS Devices

http://www.synthtopia.com
"Of special interest for musicians is the new GarageBand.
GarageBand for iOS has been updated to match the look and feel of iOS 7 and taps the power of 64-bit to bring musicians a full recording studio with up to 32 tracks.
With iOS 7 Inter-App Audio you can record third-party music apps right into GarageBand, and AirDrop allows you to wirelessly share your song projects with other iOS users so you can work on songs together. iCloud is designed to let you keep your song projects up to date across your devices, and users can start a song on iOS and pick up where they left off using GarageBand for Mac.

Pricing & Availability
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform."

Das Update von GaragaBand für iOS bringt also:
  • look & feel von iOS7. 
  • mit der vollen 64bit Bandbreite sind nun 32 Aufnahmespuren möglich. 
  • AirDrop zum drahtlosen Austausch von GrageBand Songs mit anderen iOS Devices
  • die Inter-App Audio Schnittstelle.
    Hier wäre spannend, ob sich mit diesem Feature auch Instrumente aus GarageBand als Input in ander IAA-fähige Recording Apps integrieren lässt, was ja bislang mit Audiobus nicht möglich ist. Bei Audiobus lässt sich Garageband "nur" als Output definieren.
    Dazu im iPadMusicBlog :
    "Export to any AppThis was unannounced feature but as for me it is one of the best improvements Apple has made. It used to be tricky to export the project from GarageBand to other apps. And it was only possible to export mp3.
    Now you can mixdown your track in uncompressed format (AIFF) or mp3 and Open in any other app whether it is Cubasis, Auria or Audio Mastering app."
