Software Reviews of Apple Garageband Jam Pack: Rhythm Section
Customer Review: A Fun Add On
Summary: 4 Stars
I use Garageband to help develop my guitar skills and I thought that the loops that came with GarageBand were lacking in the drums department. This JamPack has a good selection of drum loops that work great for playing along with or for piecing together an original songs. After installing the JamPack, I now have 1236 drum loops of which about one third are for soft instrument drum kits and the other two thirds are actual recorded sound. I am pleased with the variety of the loops and fact that there are some fills.
I used an entry level drum machine for a while, but it was difficult to set up with the provided beats and even more difficult to program original beats. The drum machine costs twice as much as the JamPack. The loops and fills provided with this JamPack are way easier to set up for a song and the midi data can be edited to create new beats.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. If it were less expensive it would probably get five stars. (I have not fully explored the bass loops because I record my own bass tracks, so I have no comment on that aspect.)
Description of Apple Garageband Jam Pack: Rhythm Section
Songwriters and vocalists take note: the Rhythm Section Jam Pack provides you with the ultimate backing band, one that will never get tired. Of the 2,000 Apple Loops that come in Rhythm Section, half consist of drum beats you can use to introduce variations on grooves - with fills, alternate patterns and numerous other innovations. And the remaining 1,000? Guitarists and bass players will find bass lines, chord progressions, and guitar and keyboard riffs designed to support and enhance the performance of the singer/songwriter.Apple Software
