GarageBand App Download Now Available For iPhone And iPod Touch

GarageBand, the popular music-making application for the Mac desktop operating system and the iPad, is now available for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, Apple has announced.

GarageBand, which was released along with iMovie for the iPad in March of this year, has been scaled down in size to fit the smaller screens of the iPhone and iPod Touch and is selling for $4.99 in the App Store.

Apple's music-creation suite will go up against competitors like BeatMaker 2, Tabletop and Multitrack DAW for the money and downloads of digital DJs and music producers around the world.

According to TechCrunch, Apple concurrently let out Version 1.1 of GarageBand for iPad, with features that will be available across all iOS devices, including custom chords for Smart Instruments and new time signatures like 3/4 and 6/8.

It's early, but the first reviews are already out from Wired and MacWorld. Both had good things to say about the mini-GarageBand, with Wired calling it "a welcome addition to any mildly creative person’s iPhone or iPod touch."

The GarageBand app is available here for download for iPhone 3GS and up, iPod Touch and the iPad in the App Store.

GET REAL folks. How can anyone, in their right mind, expect Garage Band on their iPhone to be the same as on your laptop??? Use it as it works best for its intended purpose on the iPhone!!!

While I love Apple, all of their attempts to make music software for mobile devices has not been that great. iPhone and iPod touches are simply to small to manipulate and organize music properly and if you are thinking of using it as a keyboard, you are wasting your time. Has anyone had a good experience?

It's AWESOOOOME! No, it's not a laptop or an iPad but it's perfect for those of us in the music field for taking "notes" on the fly!

Yes, I guess for taking notes and small edits it is good, but you have never used it for time stretching and more complicated procedures I assume?

I've used MultiTrack DAW for recording quick demos, that's it thought. Sound quality's alright, but nowhere near what I'm looking for.
