Garageband vs pro tools

Not only does this small but powerful audio interface give you all of the features that you need to get the best recordings, but it's also easy to use. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 operates smoothly with your Garageband setup, and you can use it in a home studio or on the go (it's very portable). This USB audio interface can work with iPad, iPhone and every PC or laptop.

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface is easy to use directly out of the box. This is the best interface for Garageband at this price!

This audio interface is compact, portable, easy to use, and a great choice for people that need a simple interface for Garageband. It features multiple inputs, so you can connect a mic, musical instruments and media players.

It offers great audio quality, if you don't clip or peak the audio. But don't worry, there is a dial for each input as well as the master volume dial on this interface. And, the Go:Mixer also comes with a peaking LED which comes in very handy when recording.

Though this interface for Garageband is pretty versatile, it is lacking XLR input and 48v Phantom Power, which is the only downside of this interface.

Another Focusrite audio interface in this guide, that's right! Focusrite is known for producing extraordinarily high quality USB and Thunderbolt audio interfaces for both Mac and PC. Now, with the iTrack Solo Lightning, they are offering most of their top features combined into this little box.

While the iTrack Solo Lightning is smaller and lacks a few of the features of Focusrite's more expensive interfaces, this audio interface still compares well to other interfaces at this price point.

Don't let me get started on the mic preamp! It gives you the ability to record clean and clear recordings every time, and there's also 48v Phantom Power, so you can use any studio quality condenser microphone you want.

Its super-low latency will certainly impress even the best musicians, especially those who are using Garageband and an iPad to make music.

If you need a portable audio interface for Garageband, this might be the one! The iRig Pro I/O is designed to be 'plug and play', and it's easy to use with studio gear - microphones, guitars, basses, keyboards.

Pro Pack For Garageband Vst

It packs 1/8' stereo headphone output with preamp and level control, and it's compatible with iOS devices. Besides that, the unit can charge your iPhone or iPad while in use, if you take advantage of the optional DC power supply.

Did I mention it also features MIDI Out jack? This feature gives you even more flexibility and control over your MIDI gear.

If you have some older gear with five-pin MIDI connectors, the PreSonus AudioBox iTwo is a good choice and a Focusrite 2i2 alternative.

That said, AudioBox iTwo has the same iPad functionality and it's just as portable as the 2i2, but harder to use. because of the smaller design.

The AudioBox iTwo might be the best interface for people with older gear.

If you don't mind spending a little extra and want to get the best interface for Garageband, pick the Komplete Audio 6 Mk2.

The Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 features a unique design and it's easier to set up and use than other interfaces we listed above, but it's more expensive. And, the Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 interface has all of the advantages of the Focusrite 2i2, but adds two extra line inputs and outputs, and features a built-in MIDI interface.

Let's take a look at top considerations when buying top audio interfaces for Garageband.

When buying the best interface for Garageband, you want to make sure that the interface is portable and compatible with your software. Don't worry, all interfaces above are compatible with Garageband and most operating systems (iPad, iOS, Mac, Windows computer).

Whether you like recording live music or you want to use MIDI instruments with Garageband, it is essential that you pick an audio interface with the correct inputs and outputs.

When buying audio interfaces, the first thing you notice is their design. And, good design also makes an interface easier to use!

If you need something portable, we recommend small interfaces (USB or lightning) without a lot of knobs, as they are much easier to use with Garageband - we tested it! You can see a photo, read reviews and check ratings before buying any gear on Amazon or Sweetwater.

Create Music in the Genre of Your Choice From Hip-Hop to Rock

CUPERTINO, California—September 29, 2004—Apple® today introduced two new Jam Packs for its GarageBand™ music creation software, giving musicians and aspiring musicians alike all of the loops and software instruments they need to create music in the genre of their choice. Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools makes it easy to produce compelling dance, hip-hop and electronica tracks; and Jam Pack 3: Rhythm Section offers songwriters a complete backing band to help build a professional sounding foundation for their rock, alternative and country music.
“GarageBand and the original Jam Pack made it possible for anyone, regardless of their musical background, to easily create great sounding music on their Mac,” said Rob Schoeben, Apple’s vice president of Applications Marketing. “With these two new Jam Packs, musicians and aspiring musicians can delve deeper into their favorite genre. GarageBand just got better.”
Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools offers more than 2,000 additional loops, 20 new beat kits (Techno, R&B, House, Trance), new synth and sound effect instruments and classic drum machines from Roland (TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, CR-78), turning the Mac® into an easy-to-use, all-in-one dance and urban music production tool. Jam Pack 3: Rhythm Section includes an additional 2,000 loops and over 50 new instruments to make GarageBand an even more powerful music creation tool. New drums (Jazz Brushes, Indie Rock, Warehouse Kit), basses (Motown, Liverpool, Progressive Rock, Unplugged) and guitars (Dobro Slide, Bluegrass Banjo, Bluesy Acoustic, Heavy Metal Electric) are a sample of the professional-quality software instruments that come with Rhythm Section.
“With GarageBand I have an amazing backing band even when I’m writing songs at home,” said Ed Robertson, guitarist and vocalist for the Barenaked Ladies. “The instruments and loops in the new Jam Pack 3: Rhythm Section sound incredibly realistic and natural—even acoustic and folk instruments, which are typically difficult to recreate on a computer.”
“I’ve listened to all of the sound modules and libraries out there for dance music and the quality of Remix Tools is the best I’ve ever heard,” said Chris Cox, Grammy nominated dance remix producer for artists Madonna, Britney Spears, Cher, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera. “I can literally use these loops and instruments to cut a record today. It’s almost scary to know that everyone will have access to so many great sounds.”
