It sounds complicated (and under the hood it undoubtedly is).

It does this based on the drummer you select, the preset you choose, which drums are played, plus the current configuration of the X/Y pad you use to determine the drummer’s volume and the complexity of his or her work.
Instead, the “drummer” generates a performance using the nicely sampled work of some of the world’s most popular players. Unlike in the past this is done without static loops.

This is an astonishing value.ĭrummer track: Introduced in Logic Pro X, the Drummer track is designed to provide the sound and feel of a human drummer. You can have them all today for a measly five bucks. At one time you paid a small fortune for the real versions of these instruments and-a decade or two later-paid a somewhat smaller fortune for their virtual counterparts. As a keyboard player I’m thrilled to see that the vintage electric piano, vintage B3 organ, vintage clavinet, and some of the old-time synth models from Logic are available to me in GarageBand. Speaking of instrument sounds, there are fresh new instruments as well. The in-app purchase provides you with 200 instrument sounds and 2000 loops. With the free version of GarageBand you get 50 instrument sounds and 500 loops. And the sounds are good-some culled from Logic’s library and others a “rethinking” of previous GarageBand sounds and loops. You could add more sounds via Apple’s Jam Pack bundles and by dragging in compatible loops and sounds but this release contains the first real refresh of the sound library and instruments we’ve seen. New sound library: GrageBand ’11’s sound library had changed very little from the application’s very first release. Note, however, that the older version of GarageBand can’t open projects created with the new one. This version is compatible with Mavericks so if the features you lose in GarageBand 10 are vital to you (or you simply prefer the way the older version goes about its work), continue to use the previous iteration. When you download the latest version of GarageBand, the previous version on your Mac is placed in a GarageBand folder within your Applications folder. If you mourn the loss of these features you’ll be pleased to know that Apple doesn’t leave you in the lurch. The single exception is that if you pay the $5 in-app purchase price for GarageBand’s extra sounds, loops, and drummers, you’ll additionally have access to all of GarageBand’s Learn to Play music lessons (you receive two lessons with the free version) and the Lesson Store, neither of which has been updated in ages.

If you’ve used 32-bit instrument and effects plug-ins with GarageBand you’ll have to upgrade them to 64-bit versions because-as with Logic Pro X-32-bit plugins are incompatible with GarageBand 10. You’ll find that the pre-made musicians found in Magic GarageBand have lost their gig as well. While GarageBand has always been a lighter version of Logic, Apple added features such as podcasting and Magic GarageBand to help make the application more appealing to a broader base of users.

Part of accepting what GarageBand 10 is and isn’t is understanding its relationship to Apple’s professional digital audio workstation application, Logic Pro X. But you also gain a new instrument library, the Drummer track, Smart Controls for adjusting common instrument and effect parameters, iCloud support, and the ability to control GarageBand with the free Logic Remote iPad app. You lose features such as the ability to assemble and produce enhanced podcasts as well as the Magic GarageBand feature where you could jam along with a band of virtual players. Unlike some of these applications, however, GarageBand is a give as well as take effort. GarageBand version 10 for the Mac is no exception. If you’ve followed the saga of changes wrought by this year’s iWork applications it should come as little surprise that Apple’s iLife applications have also seen their share of alterations.
