What is it: The introduction of Garageband in 2005 pushed the iPad into the world of mobile recording. The global spread of the Apple device, along with the smaller iPhone, has put recording technologies into the hands of amateur musicians worldwide at lower costs than traditional recording tools. A broad ecosystem of apps and hardware has grown from the introduction of Garageband to the point that an iPad can serve as the sole recording device for a pro–level musician. |
