Using the iTrack Pocket with GarageBand
GarageBand is one of the most popular recording apps for iOS devices. It is a useful compositional
tool and used on its own, allows you to create music from the wide range of virtual instruments it
provides. With your iTrack Pocket, you can add vocals and real-world instruments as well.
NOTE: Operating instructions for GarageBand are beyond the scope of this User Guide, but the
application includes a full set of Help files.
