Recording using GarageBand on iPad.

One of the coolest feature of GarageBand is the ability to do multi-track recording. For quiete some times, I had been meaning to record a few song ideas and finally I did it today. This time I’m using GarageBand on iPad.

I plugged in the iPad (4G LTE Verizon) a few minutes ago and it prompted me to update the carrier settings. I only have the Verizon version; does anyone with AT&T version get this update also?

I’m not sure when it was released, but it was packaged on April 2nd, 2012.
