Edit Audio Garageband Ipad

Edit regions in GarageBand for iPad. Regions are the building blocks of a GarageBand song. When you record a Touch Instrument, use the Drummer, or add Apple Loops to a song, a region appears in the instrument’s track in Tracks view. There are three types of regions: Regions from Audio Recorder and Amp recordings and from imported audio files.

GarageBand User Guide for iPad

GarageBand is a line of digital audio workstations for macOS and iOS devices that allows users to create music or podcasts. GarageBand is developed and sold by Apple for macOS, and is part of the iLife software suite. Its music and podcast creation system enables users to create multiple tracks with pre-made MIDI keyboards, pre-made loops, an array of various instrumental effects, and voice. Garageband is another unique gift from Apple for audiophiles and more pertinently for music creators or prodigies altogether. IPad further exploits the full functionality of GarageBand by extending the intuitiveness with its overtly simple but responsive touch screen gestures.GarageBand for iPad can be used to create, record, assemble, retouch and even as a fully trusted live performance kit.
