GB ver 1.3 on iPad 3 piano (not smart piano) and drum kit have very low volume. Even with the volume cranked.

Something changed in the latest io6 update. This wasn't a problem previously.

I've noticed the exact same thing... 3rd gen iPad after ios6 update. Hoping for a fix soon. I think its the velocity sensitivity as sometimes while playing piano since the update I'll have a rogue note that will be crazy loud, and everything else is still quiet.

i figure out that, it has something to do with the new iOS, i Installed the previous version of GarageBand wich is 1.2.1 on my iPad with iOS 6 and the velocity sensitivity is having a problem too as what we are experiencing now on GarageBand 1.3 in iOS 6, so im really sure that iOS 6 is messing up with Garageband, apple needs to release a new Update Patch soon.

and as a musician and a singer, my next covers are in line so i need to produce it as soon as possible, i've paid this app so we have the right to complain and make Apple fix this,

Then make sure, that Apple hears you and use the feedback form below - the more, the merrier:

Otherwise your righteous indignation may not be heard by Apple, since this a user-to-user community.

Apple should really fix this and while they're at it.... Give us a decent update. I know I shouldn't rant about it here but for as long as our wish list goes(more tracks, automation, new instruments etc...) I'm sure they could've done waaay better than "update" with "play in background" (which I just don't get) and create ringtones. This should've been ver. 1.2.2 not 1.3

Just feeling a bit insulted...but hey, that's just me. In the meantime it still rocks for what it does and hope things will get better.

Even though the problem still exists in iOS 6, I think I have found a work around:


In the Piano, tap the last button just above the keyboard.

In the window that opens, called Keyboard, turn On the Velocity control.

This will show the velocity control on the left side of the screen over the keyboard. This control seems to be used to set the maximum and minimum volumes of the keys according to how hard you hit the key; so just bring the minimum volume up to minimise this range.


In the Drums, at the top of the screen, tap the 3rd button from the right to open a window that has an option to set the Velocity sensitivity. I've noticed that High sensitivity, or No sensitivity seems to work OK.


Hope it helps.
