While we can increase the quality of Garageband’s piano sounds using EQ, compression, reverb, and ambiance, the best way to get a superior piano is to simply download another plug-in that sounds way better right out of the box. The best free piano sounds for Garageband are the 4Front piano and the Soft Piano from Spitfire Audio Labs.

Sequel 1.0.1 Entry-level loop-based music programSequel encourages a loop-based style of composition that lets you drag and drop audio and MIDI loops into a single window - everything is automatically adjusted for key and time signature. The program includes more than 4,500 loops (plus another 500 when you register the software) and more than 600 instruments covering a variety of musical genres, including dance, metal, electronic, and world music. Sequel's structure resembles GarageBand but lacks much of its interconnectivity. Instead it adds the Arrange Mode. This mode allows you to assign sections of songs to pads that can be triggered in whatever order you wish and played in real time. Live performers and DJs can use this to add a sense of spontaneity that you don't usually get from loops. In fact, DJs will find that it excels at creating the kind of dance music you'd hear in a club.
Nine Inch Nails has once again released the sources in GarageBand format for three tracks from their new album Year Zero. You can also download user-created remixes.
