The last good results from Apple, something that, as you know, has not been recently, had a lot to do with the Chinese market. The iPhone 6 sold very well in the great Asian country, but things have been twisting in recent months, seeing how some of Apple's content stores in the country were blocked. It is likely that everything that happened had to do with the list of news that has been included in the last update of GarageBand, both for iOS and OS X.
Yesterday, Apple released an update to GarageBand. What could be news of one more update to the App Store, in fact this does not appear in the list of news, stops being so when we find out that Apple wanted to celebrate «rich Chinese musical history with new instruments» adding sounds and chinese translation extensive to the entire application. As we can read in BusinessWire, the new version of GarageBand includes new instruments, such as the pipa, the erhu and the Chinese percussion, and 300 loops (samples that can be used several times as a loop, fitting perfectly) typical of China.
What's New in GarageBand 2.1.1
In addition to the news related to Chinese music, GarageBand 2.1.1 includes.
- Quick navigation through long lists of Apple Loops thanks to an alphabetical sidebar.
- Using Multi-Touch gestures to select multiple regions simultaneously in the Tracks area.
- Sending songs as an audio file using AirDrop.
- Ability to share GarageBand songs via email as uncompressed audio.
- Assigning your own personalized images to songs shared on YouTube and Facebook.
- Support for shared iPad feature in iOS 9.3.
If I have to be honest, I, who have edited a lot with GarageBand, am surprised to learn that samples, loops and Chinese instruments were not available in the application, but I have to confess that I usually use what I record with my instruments and not the sounds and effects that the application offers me. In any case, any sum that does not subtract on the other hand is positive.
