I actually didn’t know MM can do variable tempo (and key?) detection. Never needed to do that so far, but pretty cool. Yeah it would seem like GB should be able to take on any features MM has, and actually if Voice Memos is replacing MM, I wouldn’t mind if all the tempo/key detection and ability to adjust chords was moved over to GB, and VM is just for quick capture. But so far at least in recent versions of iOS/ipadOS (I’m on 17.5), there doesn’t seem to be any integration between VM and GB. I don’t see a way to export a VM recording to GB. I really hope the new VM app can. They need to have seamless integration like MM and GB have.OH! Yes, you are correct. Tempo always defaults to 110 and doesn’t do the same thing the “recording style” choice does. Would be cool if it did, though. I’m usually recording melody ideas and as I don’t know what scale I’m humming (music theory dunce), so, I never set the key.
One thing I thought was wild was that Music Memos records the tempo you’re playing at as you play. And if you change up the tempo, it changes up what it captures. If you take a recording from Music Memos and put it in GarageBand, GarageBand adheres to the variable tempo that’s captured in Music Memos! I assumed that, with that type of compatibility already built in, getting it in GarageBand was the next logical step, but I guess not. Or at least not yet.![]()
Has anyone been able to try it out yet?
Also wondering how many tracks VM can layer. I have a feeling it’s just two total. Much better than one, but the more the better.
