GarageBand turns your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play pianos, organs, guitars, drums, and basses on your iPad.
They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. Enjoy a full range of Smart Instruments that make you sound like a pro — even if you’ve never played a note before.
Plug an electric guitar into your device and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use the built-in microphone or a guitar to record, or capture any performance. Then mix up to eight tracks to create a song you can share.

Along with the piano roll, what I miss the most is parameter automation.
One great feature of the last update is that you can now export and load uncompressed audio. So you could, for example, export an instrument part, load it as an audio or guitar track and then add it many editable effects (up to 4 simultaneous effect pedals and 1 amp simulator for guitar tracks).
All in all, I love that Apple continues updating GarageBand.
different tools for different fools. love the update! can’t wait for piano roll editing definitely.
Apple is so way off on this app…
Its a toy…a decnt toy, but its very limited!
I agree with above posts…the ipad2 will run more effects, a better sampler, more patches, user patches, plugs, more tracks…. There are better apps…like meteor…
Everything, every update for Garageband is seemingly tailored for the talentless twit who thinks he can commit the sounds in his head into something wonderful, and worthwhile.
Easy chords, quantization options, automatic beats and notes…is it a videogame?
What a shame that there is still NO piano roll editor – one of the most requested missing feature… :(
Not only the lack of piano roll, but the watered down time sig support. And I’ve got to wonder if it still only supports 16-bit audio (I don’t think that’s a GB-only limitation and an iOS limitation itself, so maybe that was addressed in iOS 5).
Still, Garageband is pretty flipping awesome. The only real limitation I’ve run into is creating a project on the iPad, and then once it’s worked on and saved on the Mac it can no longer be opened on the iPad.
