The Ultramods record entire album in GarageBand for iPad
We all know that Apple's GarageBand for iPad 2 makes it incredibly easy for anyone to make and record music. Now The Ultramods have gone and created an entire album using the 8-track recording capability of GarageBand.
Most of the songs on the album Underwear Party (iTunes Store link) are NSFW, including one appropriately titled "NSFW." According to the band's website, they specialize in "pervy pop punk and technologically obsessed new wave." The group, made up of musicians Bunny and Coco Ultramod, used only the instruments included in the iPad app to record the dozen tunes on the album.
The Ultramod's manifesto is "fast, cheap and out-of-control," and you've got to love their thinking even if you hate their music: "Here's an iPad, here's an Internet connection. Now make an album."
Note to readers: I'll be off the site for the next few days, recording my first album.
Just kidding.

track #2 on their album
I do believe it's the former. GB on iOS sounds great, and I'm having a blast with it. The band depicted here would suck if recorded in a $100,000 studio.

April 08 2011 at 8:01 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI just listened to the clips on iTunes. I wouldn't be in a hurry to proclaim this a victory for GB on iOS. It's pretty horrible music.

By the way GarageBand is one word, not two.
Does it sound good? if yes then grate if not so what if it's garage band it's the dam music that counts not the equipment used.

April 04 2011 at 3:45 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyBoth the music and production quality are terrible. iPad recording will only be good for sequencing until there are proper interfaces that give you better inputs. This sounds like it was recorded on an iPad, and sounds like garageband. Both are not compliments. I'm putting all my hope in cool Ableton apps for this thing, I think that's where it could really shine as a music production device.
