Hi Reader, If you wanted an affordable way into the Apple Music making eco-system today, what would you buy? A MacBook Neo? Or an iPad A16? On paper, they're closer than you might think. Both use Apple's A-series chips. Both run GarageBand and Logic Pro. Both can edit video. Both are aimed at people who want an affordable way into the Apple ecosystem. So I spent some time testing them side-by-side to see which one makes the most sense for musicians and creators. Watch here: MacBook Neo vs iPad A16: Which Should Creators Buy?While I've got you, I also published another video earlier this week that you may have missed. It's all about Mighty Synth Sampler, a completely free app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that lets you turn just about any sound into a playable instrument. It's a synth, sampler and AUv3 plugin all rolled into one, and for a free app it's surprisingly capable. Watch here: The Best Sampler on iPad is FREE?Have a great weekend!

Hi, Reader Did you know GarageBand has a collection of Apple plugins hidden away in its settings? And I do mean hidden. You need to enable them in your iPad’s Settings first, then dig into the Audio Unit Extensions menu before you’ll even see them. It’s a shame, because there are some really useful effects in there. In my latest video, I show you how to unlock them and take a closer look at three of my favourites, including a much more powerful alternative to GarageBand’s usual compressor....
Hi, Reader Whether you’ve just opened GarageBand for the first time or you’ve finished a song and need to get it out of the app, I’ve got two new tutorials for you this week. First up, if you’re new to GarageBand for iPad, this is the place to start. I’ll show you how to navigate the Sound Browser, record Touch Instruments and real audio, adjust your project settings, add Apple Loops, download free sounds and import your own samples.
