Just want to demonstrate the sound and tools of the ipad, which I love!

Using an ipad 4, garageband and the built in mic recording a jazz bass 4 string , I'm using an active Yamaha studio monitor as a bass amp.
I had to position the ipad about a foot away from the monitor and also I couldn't turn the volume up too much as the mic is running quite hot.

I composed a tune using garageband , it's great fun! I like the limitations, really makes you a lot more creative.

This tune just uses 2 keys, dm7 -gm7 , I'll let you work out the actual keys ;)
Thx for listening!
Joe

Hi
No I just uploaded it straight to YouTube. The ipad has a great mic, just have to position it not to near your speaker and it records great!

+1, all the recent apple products I purchased have excellent mics. The key is getting the distance right. A while back my mate asked me to come up with some ideas (guitar riffs) for a few songs he'd written. He sent me the songs I listened to them on my headphones and recorded some licks I thought might work into garageband using the mic on my iMac. I sent him my ideas and he used the recordings I'd made for his demo. No re-takes etc, they quality was spot on.
