Posted 05/01/2012 at 3:16pm | by J.R. Bookwalter BlackBerry World kicked off in Florida today, where RIM finally gave us a peek behind the veil of its forthcoming BlackBerry 10 mobile operating system. Almost immediately, the Canadian handset maker was criticized for not innovating enough, with BB10 described as shades of the late, great webOS and having more in common with iOS and Android than Microsoft’s Windows Phone, which may be the only hope mobile users have for a refreshing new OS. Ready for the rest of the day’s news? Then read on to find out what’s making headlines for Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Nokia, you’ve been dethroned: New data from IDC reveals that Samsung is now the top dog where total mobile phone and smartphone shipments are concerned, with 42.2 million smartphones shipped in the first quarter of the year for a 29.1 percent share of the market. That’s a Read More

Apple updates iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand for iOS

Tue, 01 May 2012 21:45:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Apple just pushed a series of updates for its iLife iOS apps. The iPhoto 1.0.1 update doesn't add any new features, but does offer a number of stability improvements including when publishing a journal to iCloud, the URL of the journal can now be copied using a Copy Link button. It also addresses an issue that could cause duplicate photos to appear in Photos view. iPhoto for iOS was first released at the beginning of March and in only 10 days hit one million downloads. GarageBand 1.2.1 fixes an issue that could lead to crashing or missing songs when sharing to iCloud, resolves an error when logging into SoundCloud using a Facebook account, and addresses minor issues related to performance and stability. iMovie 1.3.1 squashes a number of bugs, including problems accessing Help on iPad. There's also a new feature too: now you can easily send a song from GarageBand to Read More

How my iPhone and iPad helped me (re)learn guitar

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:00:49 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

About 20 years ago, I was a pretty good guitar player. Once it hit me that I was never going to be a rock star (although I did have a fun four summers setting up stages for some instead) guitar playing fell off the radar. I didn’t get rid of my gear, however, and earlier this year I got the urge to play again. It was immediately obvious how much easier current technology has made the process of learning to play. Back in the day, our best options for learning were either slowing down a song, having a friend teach us, or hoping it was featured in a guitar magazine. Apple has a surprising amount of available technology for picking the guitar back up — my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro are at the heart of my learning process. Here’s a look at how I’ve used them, and some tips for Read More

The new iPad (2012) review

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 01:06:53 UTC +00:00

The iPhone Blog

The new iPad is just that. Not iPad 3. Not iPad HD. Certainly not iPad 2S. It’s the 3rd generation tablet from Apple, released March 16, 2012, and the simplicity and focus of the name tells you almost everything you need to know about the product. The iPad. Better than any iPad — any tablet — that’s come before. That’s not to say there aren’t compromises or criticisms, because there are plenty of both. But everything about the new iPad confirms once again how Apple envisions the future of personal computing, and how they’ll continuously, relentlessly drive themselves, the industry, and the world around them towards that future by sheer force of will, audacity of engineering, and discipline of design. Whether that future, and this iPad, is for everyone remains the question. The greater your focus, the more you exclude from your field of vision. Did Apple manage to strike the Read More

The Retina display on the new iPad, available Friday, is absolutely stunning. However, the increase in resolution actually makes some older apps appear all pixelated and gross. You don’t want to show off your brand new iPad and leave your friends with the impression that the screen on your new tablet is any less clear than a shimmering pool of unicorn tears. Here are several iPad apps that have been updated with Retina-ready graphics so everyone within eyesight can witness the pixel-pushing power of your new Apple tablet. Besides the titles that were featured in the iPad introduction event, Apple has setup a new section on the iTunes App Store to highlight Retina-ready titles. I’ve handpicked a few titles from this list and from other updates I’m aware of for you to try out.

Rockers One Like Son Record Full Album Using Only iPhones

CrunchGear

In August, I remember seeing YouTube links for the band , who recorded an entire song using only their iPhones and a few iPhone peripherals (in addition to their instruments and drum programs). Today, I received a press release indicating that the band have finished recording an entire 10 song album using the same setup. Intrigued, I contacted Stephen Poff, the mastermind behind the record, to get a few more details about the impetus and methods behind the project. The 10 song record was an intentional project by Mr. Poff that started on January 1, 2011 and was recorded, mixed and mastered right up until December 31, 2011. So it took a full year to complete this side project, amidst an undoubtably busy day job as a videographer/photographer at the agency LWT in Montgomery AL. As a former “four-tracker” myself, I have to say the results are surprisingly good. Poff clearly has a Read More

Garage Band: TUAW Best of 2011 for iPad music apps

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:30:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

It's been a long haul, but we've finally come to the end of the TUAW Best of 2011. The last category in which readers nominated their favorites and then voted for the top five finishers was iPad music apps. This was a huge category -- music apps cover the landscape from applications that turn the tablet into a musical instrument to apps that make it easier to organize and listen to your music. The winner was Apple's Garage Band (US$4.99), grabbing 44.1 percent of reader votes. Garage Band, of course, started life as a Mac music app. But it has really come into its own as an inexpensive iOS app, allowing musicians and would-be musicians of all ages to create and record their own music. Smart Instruments and pre-recorded loops make it possible for anyone with an iPad to generate professional-sounding music. What was the runner-up? Tango Remote Control Media Player Read More

The Top 20 iPhone And iPad Apps of 2011

Editor’s note: Contributor Brad Spirrison is the managing editor of mobile app discovery services Appolicious, AndroidApps.com and AppVee. With this post, he continues an annual tradition of picking the best iOS apps of the year. It’s telling that Apple chose an app that debuted more than 14 months ago, Instagram, as its “iPhone App of the Year” for 2011. This should not imply that there was a shortage of quality and groundbreaking apps released this year. Far from it. From social magazines to music discovery apps to console-quality games that players can hold in the palms of their hands, there are hundreds of new titles in the iTunes App Store that will inform, organize, and entertain virtually anyone who owns an iOS device. As more choices become available to different kinds of consumers, however, it’s difficult to identify the undisputed champions of the app world. We picked 20 of the best Read More

Top 5 Online Music Trends in 2011

Music has been a huge part of the Web since the days when Geocities-hosted fan sites offered Nirvana MIDI files and 15-second clips of songs in WAV format. A decade ago, we saw the rise and fall of Napster, the remnants of which were recently sold yet again. From the ashes of Napster rose a new era of digital music, fueled in large part by the iPod and iTunes Music Store. The traditional structures of the music industry may never return to what they once were, and that's okay. Today we have access to more music than ever before and the tools for creating it are available to anyone who can afford a laptop. Music is still a huge - and growing - part of the Web today. This year, we watched a number of trends unfold in the digital music space. Picking the five most significant was no easy task, Read More

App Review: Garage Band

iPod Touch Fans

posted by Marcus Nguyen on Friday, November 18, 2011 at 3:42 pm. For ages, Apple’s Garage Band has been a huge hit for many artists who just wanted to mess around. Apple aims to bring the convenient interface, along with the decent amount of depth, of Garage Band from OS X to the mobile iOS platform. In short, Apple has done a good job with this. Although imperfections still exist, Garage Band for iOS has a plethora features, an attractive interface, ample audio quality, sufficient reuse value, and a excellent bang for the buck. Read on for the full review: Apple has always kept features from its users with their mobile platforms, like iOS. They then innovate these missing features and add them into iOS. This tactic may work well with an operating system, but it won’t cut it for an app. Garage Band is chalk-full of features that will Read More

Ook laten we zien hoe je met een niet-zo-heel-spectaculair idee toch enorm succes bij Kickstarter kunt boeken. De bekende Nederlander hebben we deze keer ingeruild voor een uitgebreide demonstratie van Garageband. Veel mensen weten wel ongeveer wat je met Garageband kunt doen, maar in een demo laten we zien hoe je nou eigenlijk de basis voor een muzieknummer met meerdere instrumenten maakt – ook als je misschien niet zoveel talent hebt.

'Katana Jack' - A 'Bomb Jack' Inspired Game Created On An iPad, Launching This Week

Touch Arcade

Ivanovich Games, who have previously brought the Operation Wolf-inspired gallery shooter [Free/HD] to the App Store, are at it once again with their homage to the classic arcade-style platforming game Bomb Jack, called Katana Jack. Just the news of a new Bomb Jack style game coming to the App Store is reason enough to get excited, but even more interesting to me is how Katana Jack has been developed. All of the artwork in the game was created using the excellent Brushes [$4.99/HD] app on an iPad, and the music was also composed on an iPad using GarageBand [$4.99]. Now, I absolutely love the Brushes app, but I've never personally been able to create anything with it that didn't look like I drew it by haphazardly dragging my nose around the screen. I have a ton of respect some of the amazing art people are able to make using the app, Read More

Mashable

by Apple has updated its GarageBand for iOS app to support the iPhone and iPod touch. Apple released GarageBand for iPad back in March, coinciding with the launch of the iPad 2. GarageBand for iOS 1.1 [iTunes link] adds support for smaller devices as well as a few new features and tweaks. If you already own GarageBand for iPad, you can download the iPhone or iPod touch version for free. The interface is now optimized to use the smaller screen of the iPhone or iPod touch, but the app is largely the same from a functionality standpoint. This is a good thing. GarageBand for iOS is a tremendous accomplishment. Apple has managed to take many of the best parts of the GarageBand for Mac app and bring them to touch screen devices. Plus, using the headphone jack on your iPhone or iPad, you can plug in an electric guitar into a Read More

Apple Launches the World's Tiniest Recording Studio on Your iPhone For $5

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:45:26 UTC +00:00

The world of mobile content creation just got a whole lot more functional. Seven months after releasing its music recording and sequencer program Garage Band as an iPad app, Apple has shrunk the app down even further to fit it on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Garage Band for iPhone is impressively capable for a mobile application. It may be a bit tedious, but one could viably use the software to record and edit an entire album of music, albeit with a few limitations. It comes with built-in synthesized instruments, as well as the ability to plug a guitar or microphone into the device to capture real sounds. We've seen plenty of apps that simulate musical instruments - from pianos and guitars to Moog synthesizers and complete drum kits - and this isn't the first multi-track music sequencing app for iOS. But the combination of instruments available, sound filters, multi-track editing Read More

Apple has introduced an update for the iOS version of GarageBand that makes it compatible with iPhones and iPod touches, too. The now universal app is available as a free update for owners of the iPad version, or it’s $4.99 if you’re buying it for the first time. The iPhone version is pretty much the same as its iPad cousin, with the same multitouch and smart instruments, eight tracks of editing layers and audio export capabilities. But Apple has taken the opportunity to refine the product with some new tools and features, too. Smart instruments gain custom chord support, so that you can make your own to strum. This allows seasoned musical pros to get off the beaten path and produce some pleasant and more unique sounds, and amateurs like me to do terrible things that no one should be forced to listen to.

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Nov 1, 2011 | Launched alongside iPad 2, Apple’s multitouch version of GarageBand has just been updated as a universal app — that’s right, it now supports iPhone and iPod touch as well. GarageBand for iOS is a re-imagining of Apple’s traditional iLife music recording, mixing, and rendering app for their modern mobile platforms. Apple’s SVP of Marketing, Phil Schiller: GarageBand on iPad has been a big hit and we think customers will love using it on their iPhone or iPod touch,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The innovative Multi-Touch interface combined with Smart Instruments makes it easy to create great sounding music, even if you’ve never studied music or played an instrument before. Here’s the full update list: Get it, plug it in, and tell us how well it works for you on the smaller screen. Read More

GarageBand app goes universal, now ready for iPhone

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Apple has updated GarageBand for iOS. It's now universal with support for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPod touch (4th generation). There are several new features, too, like custom chords for smart instruments, support for additional time signatures (3/4 time and 6/8) and new audio export quality settings. GarageBand for iOS was introduced earlier this year as a marquee app for the iPad 2 (here's our review). Apple notes that this version, 1.1, offers "numerous enhancements," including adjustable velocity settings for the touch instruments, new transposition options (semitones or full octaves) and support for recording in straight eighth notes, swinging eighths and triplets. Of course, the big news is that its now available to devices other than the iPad. This is a free update to existing users and sells for US$4.99.

4 tips (and a hack) to make your iPad work-worthy

Reading Darrell’s recent post 7 iPad Habits of Highly Effective Remote Workers prompted me to look more closely at how I can really do work on my iPad. I have to admit, I’m still not convinced that the iPad will be my laptop replacement. However, with the help of the Apple wireless keyboard and some other peripherals and apps, it can come close. Here are some tips to make your iPad work-worthy. 1. Make audio calls via VoiP. Audio calls via Skype on the iPad work like a dream. Just plug in the earbuds that you usually use for your iPhone, fire up the Skype app and make your audio calls. There are other VoiP apps that will work on the iPad without charging fees, such as Viber, but they require that the other person also has the same software on her device. You can even use Google Voice on the iPad, albeit Read More

We’ve seen our share of musicians using iPhones and iPads to create amazing stuff but this video just blows my mind.

How to Prepare Yourself for the End of the World With Your iDevices

As you may have heard. The world is set to end this weekend. According to a small group led by Oakland, CA preacher Harold Camping, armageddon is set for May 21st. Woohoo! That means that if you didn't know before reading this, you have a whole two days notice. Wait, what's that? It's midnight Jerusalem time? So the end of the world starts at about 5PM EST here in the US. Okay, so that's a little more than 24-hours notice. It's time to prepare for the end of the world with your iPad. Most Important – Back up your iPad The first thing you want to do is back up your iPad. Make sure all your playlists and contacts are on your tablet.

App Smart Extra: Help for Singers

Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:06:36 UTC +00:00

NYTimes Gadgetwise Blog

You can record adequate-sounding audio on an iPhone or iPad, but if you’re a more serious vocalist, radio journalist or podcaster, the devices’ audio features get pretty restricting, pretty quickly. VocaLive ($20 on Apple), mentioned in this week’s App Smart column, is a new app from IK Multimedia, a specialist in audio software and hardware that is based in Italy. VocaLive is filled with good features, but vocalists will find the sound effects most useful. Twelve effects are available, including Pitch Fix, Choir, Morph, Reverb, Delay and Phazer. You can also import songs to sing along to or, if Karaoke is your thing, you can remove the vocals from a track and insert your voice. (Some of the original vocal will often remain.) A single-track recorder is included, and you can add a four-track recorder for $5. My one quibble with the app is that it’s not easy to master. I Read More

Garage Band for iPad: Using the app to show off the device

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

GarageBand for iPad is, I'm pleased to say, another one of those apps. It's software that melds so perfectly with the iPad hardware that when you show it off to someone, their natural inclination is to say "Oh, so that's why I should buy one of these devices." I love finding those apps. Follow the jump to find out why GarageBand qualifies. I'm a little late to the GarageBand party because I didn't think to buy a copy until several of my TUAW colleagues pointed out its utter simplicity for creating rimshots. "It's like having a portable backup band," one blogger swore. Just hop into the app, select Drums and use the Classic Studio Kit. A couple of taps on the lower-left snare followed by a top-left cymbal? Brilliant. But there is so much more you can do with GarageBand than to create an imaginary "Tonight Show" experience.

GarageBand for iPad, More Fun Than on OS X (Review)

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:42:24 UTC +00:00

iSmashPhone

With iMovie making and the iWork suite making their way to iOS, it was only a matter of time before we‚Äôd see GarageBand on Apple‚Äôs mobile platform. That happened on the day that Apple announced the iPad 2. We always wrote off GarageBand as kind of a beginner‚Äôs application. Yes. GarageBand is a beginner‚Äôs application, but we were selling it short. It‚Äôs a decent multitrack studio for anyone who wants to record music and share it with friends. That in mind, know that this is coming from someone who for the most part ignored, and uninstalled, GarageBand in OS X. GarageBand, like iMovie, is a trimmed down version of Apple‚Äôs more professional applications such as Logic and Final Cut. On the iPad, GarageBand is even further trimmed from the desktop version, but it works perfectly on the device. Many of the basics are there: keyboards, drums, Apple Loops and audio Read More

These Are the Apps That Really Show Off the iPad 2

Now that you have an iPad 2, you can be excused for wanting to share it with (read: rub it in the face of) those that don’t. But how best to show off the iPad 2′s specific advantages, especially at this early stage in the game? There are a few apps that should do the trick nicely. Let’s look first at the apps that come pre-installed on the iPad itself. FaceTime and Photo Booth are both new to the iPad, and Photo Booth is new to iOS altogether. Both take advantage of one of the most notable changes to the iPad in this hardware revision: the addition of a camera. Both also show off two major reasons why people want an iPad in the first place: for fun and for communication. Neither app is particularly amazing from a technical standpoint (although it is cool to see nine simultaneous live feeds being Read More

Can GarageBand for iPad Make You a Rock Star?

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 19:51:52 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

During the iPad 2 announcement event, I was possibly most impressed by the preview of GarageBand for iPad. With its so-called “Smart Instruments,” it seemed like it might be able to bring out the latent musical talent in even the most unmusical of users. GarageBand is live in the App Store now, so I decided to see if it could make good on its claims. I am bad at music. I can’t sing, and friends consistently regret it when they manage to convince me to get up at karaoke and take a turn at the mic. I’ve tried playing guitar at many stages throughout my life, but I can barely manage finger exercises. Because of my experience with the real world guitar, I decided to try GarageBand’s Smart Guitar first. To my intense surprise, I made a decent sounding snippet of a “song” in about 30 seconds. It isn’t fancy, and Read More

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

As expected, iMovie and GarageBand are now available on the App Store for the iPad 2 when it releases later on this week. iMovie is actually just a universal update, since the app was already available for the iPhone, but it won't run on the original iPad (GarageBand will, however). Both apps are available for $4.99. Note that the GB download is pretty big -- GarageBand will run you 370 MB, so if your iPad is already pretty full, you'll have to delete some apps or media. GarageBand offers up all of those great in-app instruments to record with, so if you have an iPad 1 or 2, it's probably a must-get. iMovie's improvements for iPhone users have yet to be tested, but it's bound to be a big hit tomorrow once the iPad 2 units hit the street.
