GarageBand for iOS 10: "Video Killed the Radio Star" cover

Dan Baker:

Here’s my take on the Buggles’ 1979 hit, “Video Killed the Radio Star”, using NOTHING but the fantastic on-board sounds of GarageBand for iOS10: so unbelievably powerful… All vocal parts recorded using the internal mic, with lead vocal processed through the internal guitar amp simulator: the original 1979 vocal was played back through a VOX AC30 guitar amp to get that sound. Everything here mixed on the iPad as well, with lots of effects not fazing it in the slightest. “Alchemy” is an expensive sounding synth, also used on Logic Pro X, and the bass sound actually sounds like a Fender Precision.
