The surprising richness of GarageBand

Do you remember the video I once shared about making a song in Strudel?

I recently stumbled upon this 20-minute YouTube video by iSongs of someone recreating Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” in GarageBand on their iPhone:

Like the previous video, I believe this is so tight as it was previously rehearsed/​prepared, which makes for an interesting watch if you even just check out a fragment of the video.

I can’t speak for the verisimilitude/​quality of the composition, but it was fascinating to witness because The. UI. Just. Kept. Coming. I had no idea Garage Band is so fully-featured on the iPhone, and that there is so much going on!

Maybe my fascination is this: it’s amazing that “power users” come in various shapes and forms. Would I recommend using the iPhone to do this? Not really. Is it cool that this is possible, for people who might not have access to other platforms? Yeah.

(The channel has a lot more different songs if this one is not to your liking.)
