iPad 2 GarageBand import loops
Finally found the article that shows you how to import your own loops into GarageBand for the iPad.
The trick ends up being the file sharing option in iTunes , but you have to scroll down a bit to see where you can actually add the wav files…
2nd thing to be careful about is the type of wav file ( must be 16 bit. 44.1khz ) anything else will just show up grey and not be able to load ( found that out the hard way as most of my own loops were 24 bit ).

Lunar Eclipse
I woke up at 1:30am last night to capture the Lunar Eclipse. It was an amazing site as the moon was slowly covered in shadow, then started taking on the reddish colour.
Richard Dawkins – The Selfish Gene
This is the third Richard Dawkins book that I have read. Although written 34 years ago, it is still an amazing explanation of what we know about the Genome
and it’s influence on everything we do. The books covers some fantastic topics on Evolution and Genetics, and is just leaving me asking so many more questions
about what we are, and why we are..
Highly Recommend it.
