There’s no denying it; when first released, GarageBand on Mac was a limited, barebones program. While beginner friendly, it lacked any real killer features to keep users from moving onto bigger and better DAWs.
GarageBand for iOS was much the same; while the introduction of touch instruments was certainly revolutionary, the ability to only record 8 tracks on most devices at launch made anything but the most rudimentary of musical rough sketches impossible.
Fast forward to present day however and it’s a completely different story.
GarageBand for macOS is not only now free of charge, it boasts many of the same features of Apple’s ‘pro’ DAW, Logic X while remaining extremely accessible to beginners and seasoned pros alike.
GarageBand for iOS has morphed into an mobile music powerhouse, touting industry leading features like the Beat Sequencer, Live Loops and the ever expanding Sound Library.
As good as we GarageBand users have it nowadays, there’s always room for improvement. What features could be added to the macOS and iOS versions of GarageBand though?
I asked that very question to the GarageBand Guide community recently. Across Facebook, Twitter and Reddit, the response was massive and it’s clear that you guys know exactly what you want to see added to both versions of GarageBand in the future.
In the video below, I cover the top 5 new things that YOU want to see in GarageBand. I also share whether I think it’s likely that we’ll see these ideas added at some point.
