GO FURTHER WITH GARAGEBAND
How the app can help with even the biggest ideas
SO FAR WE’VE been focused on GarageBand’s software instruments and loops, and as you’ve seen they’re exceptionally useful. It’s quite possible to make an entire album without using a single live instrument.
But what if you want to use a live instrument, or want to have a real human vocal rather than a sample? Well, with GarageBand that’s just as straightforward. Thankfully, as you might expect, there are multiple ways to use external instruments in GarageBand. For USB instruments such as keyboards, microphones and drum pads, you can plug them into a USB port and GarageBand will recognize them.
