Awesome!!! I love this app already. Such a clean interface and haven't had a single bug. This is Apple at their finest. Also, killer Garage Band update. Google has nothing on Apple when it comes to multimedia software
Google products suck hard but they get a pass because they contol the conversation and search. Who is going to go against the only company that makes you money online via Google ads and traffic via search? They could accidentally change something that cuts your referral traffic by 90%.
On my iPad th app cannot access the microphone or the mic is broken. Any ideas to fix this ?
Check Settings > Privacy > Microphone. Though there is no toggle present for this app on iPhone, perhaps there is on iPad. You may also want to check to see if Settings > General > Restrictions has any restrictions on the mic. There are also distinct Settings for this app. Again, in iPhone, there are none that seem to affect mic access, but maybe it's different for iPad.
If you find nothing in settings, standard troubleshooting methods apply. Force-quit the app, restart the iPad, reset the iPad, uninstall/reinstall the app...

I'm fairly optimistic that the image editing features of Photos will mature - available Extensions are already a big step forward. But I'm not at all optimistic about the return of Aperture's database capabilities. While there were many pro-level database features I did not use, the ability to merge and split libraries would be huge for pros and amateurs alike, especially in managing/archiving the contents of the iCloud library. Technically, there's no reason they couldn't offer it - databases are quite adaptable in that regard. Bottom line, though, is that Apple doesn't seem interested in offering iCloud Photo Library as a professional resource. That goes back to the limits placed on PhotoStream. And I can see why. Pros would be very demanding in areas like speed and reliability. They'd want ways to manage multiple cloud-based libraries on a single account, they'd want copy-protected shared albums (for client viewing), and they'd be really hard to deal with if even part of a shoot was lost or damaged. I don't think they want to go there (but it's a shame).
I'd like to see Apple concentrate on its other software or services instead of focusing on niche apps that hardly anyone will care about.
This is amazing, I dreamt of this app, was always putting my guitar ideas in voice memos and having to send to my gmail account from time to time. Not any more! Bravo apple.
Yes! Now, I only need iPhone 7 to be waterproof so that I can record and subsequently publish all my Collected Love Ballads from the Shower!
1. You're wrong
2. It's funny that Jonny Ive is your avatar image yet you totally hate what he's done with iOS...
of course
agreed. unfortunately they've had to take everyone from the OS X/iOS/iCloud teams to work on this app for the next several months...! we should expect significant problems with this year's OS releases!
If Steve Jobs was still around he never...oh wait, this is actually good.

I thought the teams were pulled to work on watches, cars, and TV. Aren't the beta-testers out there are new IT engineers? Consider 10.6.x issues vs 10.11.x -it makes ya' wonder.
finally! a little bit more flexibility on recording quick ideas.

Holy CRAP !!!
This is a great tool for fleshing out ideas with the acoustic. I've been playing around with it a bit on my iPhone. Added a drum track to the acoustic, was pretty close to what's in my head. Then I added a bass part.....hmmm..... Doesn't sound right. So, I dug a little deeper into the settings. You can tell it if you are playing with a capo (which I was), what fret the capo is on, AND...... You can tell it what tuning you are in. I almost always play tuned 1/2 step down - it just sounds better to me, and I like the string tension at that tuning.
Well, once I told the app my capo was on the 4th fret and I'm tuned a half step down, the bass sounds right and it looks like it knows the correct song key and all of the note changes. Fabulous!!
Now I need to figure out how to get it into Logic X on my Mac. Maybe I need to hook it up via USB?? Haven't tried yet..
My old workflow was - use voice memos - email it to myself - drag file into Logic X - use Detect Tempo to get the tempo - mess with Drummer to find the drum beat that is in my head. This new app appears to do all that for me.

Wow... Apple is out of original ideas, so they steal ideas from other developers by releasing an app with the same functionality for free. This app infringes copyright from at least a few existing apps (not going to name them, don't want Apple's wrath).
Even better, they feature their own app under "Best new... " in their store while burying apps they copied from.
This will not end well.....

you mean steal features that existed in some shape or form in GarageBand and/or LogicX to extend to a much simpler app? Busted!
I couldn't care less about cloud storage. I already have the on-site storage and off-site storage anyways, why would I want to pay double for client-side viewing?
Offer a way to integrate into websites, you know, they actually had that already implemented. You could create photo websites and to be frank, they were pretty top-notch for client-picks etc.
What I don't understand is how this cloud thing that now "has to be solved by someone else" anyways is the hold up for at least a) keeping the DAM features alive by moving them to Photos (Photos isn't even great for amateur sorting hierarchically, too much "smartness" involved for my private and professional taste.)
b) the non-destructive edits of many years are now locked in a software that will eventually stop working on my main Mac. I'm sure Photos could use some legacy or converting support.
I can still open super old Photoshop files in later versions.
I can still open super old Word documents from Windows 98 times in Word or hell, pretty much any other Office suite.
Apple and their disrespect for legacy support is an old tale, I know, but boy it doesn't change the fact they need to step up their game.
Deprecation as a means of clean code and less bugs is a nice concept, but their yearly OS upgrades never seemed to quite reach the level of polish as most of the prior versions I had the joy to work with.
I must say, if their software QA is tanking as it is, the least they could add is better legacy support, because sometimes old software/files/etc are NOT replaced by better, newer versions. Sometimes things die and if I want to have a buggy experience I might as well invest more in Windows again, at least Microsoft acknowledges backwards compatibility properly.
(I won't use Windows as my main OS of choice for a long time to come I think, but that's because the list of cons outweighs the list of pros. It's sad, because Apple wasn't a company I started shopping from because they merely were less BS.)

Except your app is not universal. I can see more people using this app on the iPhone because it just happens to be what they have with them at the time that inspiration hits.

Coping features (ideas) is not copyright violation.. Copying how those features are expressed is.
You'll just have to wait... watch the news... (and learn about copyright)...
