For Example

I mentioned the other day how excited I was for the new apps that bring Apple’s iLife suite to the iPad 2.  Well, it looks like a band has gone and recorded the first album entirely with GarageBand on the iOS.

As Wired reports, Ultramod has put together an indie-punk “record” using nothing for recording and editing but the $5 app and the $500 iPad.  The result, Underwear Party was produced for tens of thousands less and is already for sale for $10 online.

What did Ultramod think of this stripped-down process?

“I see [the GarageBand app] as an everything-combined-into-one package,” said Max “Bunny” Sparber, The Ultramods’ lead singer. “Both new musicians and professional musicians are going to be very surprised with what they can do with it.”

I couldn’t agree more.  Listen to a track to see just what this inexpensive solution can do.
