So after reading how cool GarageBand was (which it truly is) for iPad, I purchased it the other day. I got a few crashes after using it for a long time. I think some memory warnings, because I am running it on the original iPad rather than iPad 2.
When you open the app, you can start composing music. But what got my attention was that there is a little “secret” demo song that gets shipped with GarageBand for iPad and it’s called Curtain-Call. Why is it secret? Because it won’t appear on your iPad’s GarageBand unless it has crashed at least once!
That sounds weird, doesn’t it. But if you can, get GarageBand to crash once on your iPad. Then open it again and in your library of songs, you should see a new song called Curtain Call, it’s amazing. It looks like Apple has put this as an easter egg in GarageBand (that’s so unlike Apple though). Check out the screen shots that I’ve taken of my GarageBand on iPad. Do you have this song in your GarageBand library on the iPad?
I have also attached the song to the end of this post, if you want to just listen to it. It really sounds cool knowing that it has been composed entirely on an iPad with GarageBand!
Curtain Call, GarageBand Demo Song (Easter Egg)
Um, that was preloaded on my install of GarageBand. No crash required.
I think there’s also a setting in the app to restore the demo song.
How to restore this song ? I accidentally delete the drum part (sob)
@Jimmy: I believe if you open the Settings app on your device and then select GarageBand in the list, there is an option you can restore that song 🙂
what easter egg. it’s there when you first install the app.
“Curtain Call” is *preloaded* already.
It’s a great song. I believe the girl who sings it also sings one of the Kohl’s Christmas ads currently playing on Hulu.
This “easter egg” is just a swipe away. But what I cannot understand is how to create new songs in Garageband for Ipad2.
It’s already there after installing it.
If you go to settings > GarageBand and switch on ‘Reset’ it says it gives you a new copy of the song.
Who is the singer of this song?
Yes who is the artist, I love that song.
