"Rock out!"
What do you like best about GarageBand?

Besides being a free app on Mac (and iPad) it is a super easy and intuitive tool for music production Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

It is a big file on the iPad so it takes up a fair bit of information. But nothing else I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing music studio for everyone"

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

For what it is, I honestly can't think of a bad thing or negative feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Music Studio using Garageband"
What do you like best about GarageBand?

It is accessible and I can help my students put their creations into something they can listen to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes learning how to use it-but I figure it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supporting guitarists in their creative expression"
What do you like best about GarageBand?

The interface is very user-friendly and has a large music library database. The amp and sound effects are so realistic that it is a treat to use. Since I am an Apple user, the interface is so seamlessly integrated that it makes using this platform effortless. The Smart Guitar &MIDI functionality is something that is the upside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

Limited advanced editing features is a drawback since slightly professional users may want more. SImilarly, since it is restricted to the Apple ecosystem, it becomes difficult to collaborate with users from outside the ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Imagination and creativity at your fingers"
What do you like best about GarageBand?

The one thing I love about GarageBand is the simplicity and the ability to take that creative imagination and truly create something fun and great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

I think with most tools the add ons and the money for better tools costing more can be a burden. At times when you want to do more you necessarily don't really want to pay more. With so many tools at your disposal on other applications this really makes you question the usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Tool that Accomplishes Basic Audio Editing"
What do you like best about GarageBand?

On top of being very intuitive and useful, GarageBand is free to use if you are on MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

There are some advanced controls and audio features and sound isolations that I wish can GarageBand can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, optimised, ideal entry level, completely free..."
What do you like best about GarageBand?

Enormous library of instruments and loops, extremely easy to pick up and learn, even for complete beginners. The UI is sleek and simple without any wasted space.

Multi featured, and highly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

It's difficult to give any justified downside, since the software is completely free, and completely serves it's purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Garage Band is great for certain music recording options.. but not all."
What do you like best about GarageBand?

Garage Band is free and comes with all apple computers. The interface is user friendly and the recording options are great for the most part. It is a fun system and great for amateur recording on up. Its easy to use for the fun side of music creation and it can be used daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GarageBand?

The recording part of this software is not of a high quality. Its not at the advanced level that true music recording studios would want to use. It does not seem to be easy to integrate into the more advanced features of music recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Garage Band is highly professional and has so many features to make you sound like a professional! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
