Remote control GarageBand! (NOTE: gbTouch only controls OS X GarageBand running on a Mac. YOU MUST HAVE A MAC COMPUTER. See requirements below)

Do you use GarageBand on a Mac and want mobility and touch screen controls for commonly used functions? With gbTouch (& Wi-Fi), you can control record and playback from anywhere in your studio. Set each track’s volume with multi-touch faders, or track mute, solo, or record enable with a simple button tap. Track names are displayed and color coded by type. Select a track and bring up an edit panel to make adjustments to settings and important effects. Untether yourself from the computer mouse and screen!

gbTouch has 4 major theme styles for changing the look of gbTouch anytime using the iOS Settings application. gbTouch automatically changes its layout for landscape or portrait mode. Most functions are contained on the Main screen, with Track Info (Details and Effect Parameters) and Performance mode available on slide-in panels. Performance mode is used to play and record notes for GarageBand's software instruments using either a keyboard or drum pad controller.

gbTouch includes an "LCD display" that dynamically shows playhead location or project information, including tempo. A single touch lets you “dial in” a new position or tempo. Move around your song easily with the "scrub strip", and set start and end points for playback cycle.

One great way to reap the benefits of gbTouch is to use GarageBand on your Mac to get some tracks down in your composition, then sit back with your iPad - or move around your studio - and use gbTouch's track and transport functions to evaluate your mix. It makes recording a breeze!
