Using iTrack Dock 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 range of virtual instruments it provides.
With iTrack Dock, 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.
