Apple GarageBand 1.3 (for iPad) remains a stunner, with excellent sound quality, expressive string instruments, and just enough note editing to be truly useful for composing and recording music. Welcome to our GarageBand for iOS 2.2.1 review, in which we test, rate and review the performance, ease of use and new features in Apple's music production app for iPad & iPhone. You may also be.
First, you need an interface for digital conversion. I use a focusrite Scarlet 2i2, dual input, around $250 aud. The 2i2 uses more power than the iPad can offer, so you need more hardware, a cheap option this time a powered USB hub.

i use an adaptor, lightning (plug) to USB A (socket), about $48 aud from office works for the apple product.
i suggest you get one that also has another lightning port (socket) beside the USB A, (socket, female) so you can charge as you work . .lightning port does input & out put, so a second lightning port is very useful when you’re using Focusrite input.
- Extensive Garageband iPad Tutorial Garageband is another unique gift from Apple for audiophiles and more pertinently for music creators or prodigies altogether. IPad further exploits the full functionality of GarageBand by extending the intuitiveness with its overtly simple but responsive touch screen gestures.
- The iPad 1 has the necessary accelerometers. The question is, will they release Garage Band for the iPad 1 at all? If Apple decides that the iPad 1 isn't going to do a good job of running it, they may not. From Apple's presepective pissing off customers by not giving them a product is better than giving them a product that pisses them off.

The generation of your iPad is important, mine is 2nd gen, has a lightning port; 3rd gen has a USB C port, which is much more compatible with a host of devices, especially USB C to av/audio/various USB’s/SD- card readers etc etc
When you plug in your interface with G. B. Open, a prompt window appears, saying: You’ve just plugged in a device, asking if you want monitoring, usually via headphones.

Even though I use a mixer to input both my mic & my bass instrumentS, the output goes to the Focusrite, which is connected to iPad via powered USB hub a lightning connector & the lightning plug to USB A converter.
