 Hey, this is Jake with The Verge. Apple's releasing a big update to GarageBand today that adds in a brand new interface that's supposed to make it much easier to start making music. That's always been its pitch, that you don't need a big studio and you can just put it together in your bedroom, but this new interface makes it much easier. You just fire loops and put a song together. I could do that myself to show you how it's done, but I'm still at that musically inclined. So instead, we're going to have T-Pain do it. Yeah, so this is the new interface and the big thing is it's not linear, it's like a grid of loops. Right, right. I mean, does this make it easier for you? Do you... This makes when dealing with the loop sales, it makes it easier to compose a track. This is if you're feeling a bit, feeling a bit randy and want to go in and you know what I'm saying, want to go in and have some help and... So how do you use this to create a track? Let's say, I mean, you can go any one of these, I mean randomly and that's already recording into GarageBand. So and boom, look at that. There it is. It stops a bar after and you get that going and that is already recorded into your GarageBand. So now you get that going and you go, you build your track right after that, you go to keys and you can build right on top of that. And you know what I'm saying and that's something that if you're in a place to where you can't really start a track that you want to do, it helps to have at least that idea and it's good to have it or you can take it away later and say that, hey, the stuff that I added was pretty cool. I don't really need that first thing I did. That was just a... It's an idea kicker. It's an icebreaker for, you know what I'm saying, for sometimes when I do it. But it's always good to go, go back into these things and go back to the grid and you can start adding more stuff. It's always fun, man. I love just going around and just touching all the cells. All right, you can go and play a whole row of cells, a whole column. You know what I'm saying? It's about what you want and how many things you want to get going. Even if I wanted to, I can just go here, bam, get a whole row going. First interface and then my favorite part. Oh, man. This will be the best part for anybody who just doesn't like to do drums, drummer. It's been such a help within Logic because I also use Logic to integrate things. Man, drummer, the addition of drummer to Logic has been the biggest help. But to see it in a mobile version and something we can carry around and take around, that's been the best part of GarageBand so far for me. So what I like to do, bam, hit up drummer and Dez opens up because Dez is my favorite person. He's the trap guy. So I always got to have Dez and he kind of looks like me from a long time ago. So that helps a lot. So basically, drummer is effortless. It's already done. It didn't have to do anything. Drummer is just there. He made the whole thing for me. I have nothing to do. You can make it more simple and that's just, you go up and go here. And this changes as you change this, the waveform changes. You can make it as complex as you would like. You can add instruments, different versions of it. It's very, very, very simple. And that's all she wrote. That's it.
 Hey, this is Jake with The Verge.
 Apple's releasing a big update to GarageBand today that adds in a brand new interface that's
 supposed to make it much easier to start making music.
 That's always been its pitch, that you don't need a big studio and you can just put it
 together in your bedroom, but this new interface makes it much easier.
 You just fire loops and put a song together.
 I could do that myself to show you how it's done, but I'm still at that musically inclined.
 So instead, we're going to have T-Pain do it.
 Yeah, so this is the new interface and the big thing is it's not linear, it's like a
 grid of loops.
 Right, right.
 I mean, does this make it easier for you?
 Do you...
 This makes when dealing with the loop sales, it makes it easier to compose a track.
 This is if you're feeling a bit, feeling a bit randy and want to go in and you know what
 I'm saying, want to go in and have some help and...
 So how do you use this to create a track?
 Let's say, I mean, you can go any one of these, I mean randomly and that's already recording
 into GarageBand.
 So and boom, look at that.
 There it is.
 It stops a bar after and you get that going and that is already recorded into your GarageBand.
 So now you get that going and you go, you build your track right after that, you go
 to keys and you can build right on top of that.
 And you know what I'm saying and that's something that if you're in a place to where you can't
 really start a track that you want to do, it helps to have at least that idea and it's
 good to have it or you can take it away later and say that, hey, the stuff that I added
 was pretty cool.
 I don't really need that first thing I did.
 That was just a...
 It's an idea kicker.
 It's an icebreaker for, you know what I'm saying, for sometimes when I do it.
 But it's always good to go, go back into these things and go back to the grid and you can
 start adding more stuff.
 It's always fun, man.

 person.
 He's the trap guy.
 So I always got to have Dez and he kind of looks like me from a long time ago.
 So that helps a lot.

 It's very, very, very simple.

 That's it.
