GarageBand User Guide for iPad
You can record your Touch Instrument performances to play and use in a GarageBand song. When you record a Touch Instrument, your recording appears in a region in the instrument’s track in Tracks view. You can edit and arrange your recordings in Tracks view.
You can also record other music apps on your iPad, including both instruments and effects, to GarageBand using Inter-App Audio.
If you have purchased and installed Audiobus on your iPad, you can record from other music apps on your iPad to GarageBand using Audiobus. You can record from Audiobus to an Audio Recorder, Amp, or Sampler track.
When connecting apps in Audiobus, GarageBand can be used only as an output, not as an input or an effect.
Record a Touch Instrument
Tap the Record button in the control bar.
Recording starts at the current position of the playhead. The ruler shows the area being recorded in red.
Play the Touch Instrument (or, for the Audio Recorder or Amp, sing or play).
The notes you play, as well as any changes to knobs, sliders, or other controls, are recorded.
When you finish, tap the Play button in the control bar.
The new recording appears as a region in the ruler.
If you are recording to the Audio Recorder, Sampler, or Amp using a device with stereo inputs, you can tap the Input Settings button , then choose whether to record the left or right side of the stereo signal.

Previous recordings (which appear as blue or green areas in the ruler) in the same track are replaced by the new recording. If you don’t want to record over an existing part, move the playhead to another area before you start recording.
When you record the Drums Touch Instrument, new recordings are merged with existing regions on the track. You can turn off merging using the track controls.
Record multiple Touch Instruments at the same time
You can record more than one Touch Instrument at the same time. With a multichannel audio interface connected to your iPad, you can record several Audio Recorder or Amp Touch Instruments together with one other Touch Instrument.

Record multiple takes
You can record multiple versions, or takes in quick succession, and then choose and edit the one you like best. When multi-take recording is turned on, a new take is created each time the playhead starts over from the beginning of the song section.

I have contacted support about 3 times pre and post purchase and it is extremely responsive. I went ahead and upgraded to GeoShred Pro so I could get the built in sounds and guitar modeling to play around with and build my interest in learning the isometric layout (I know a bit of keyboard but little of guitar).I think GeoShred Play might be a better intro to the app than Control unless you have a very specific use case in mind (as I did), but you can get to Pro from either. Control definitely shows you the performance and operation of the app, you just have to use a synthesizer with it to get sounds out.As it turns out, control of GB iOS looks a bit buggy - but not the fault of GeoShred. Control surface for ipad garageband. One of the developers actually recorded a video showing him testing out my bug case and showing it's a bug in how GarageBand is handling MPE.
To delete takes, do either of the following:
Delete individual takes: Tap Edit and delete the takes you don’t want to keep.
Delete all but the currently selected take: Tap the take you want to keep, then tap Delete Unused Takes.
Prevent a recording from being interrupted
While you are recording a Touch Instrument, it is possible that audio events from other applications on your iPad can interrupt the recording. Take the following steps to minimize the possibility of interruption from competing audio events:
Open the Settings app, and ensure that Airplane Mode is turned on.
Make sure there are no alarms scheduled for the time you plan to record in the Calendar app or any other app (including third-party apps).
Do not connect or disconnect headphones or other external devices during recording.
Do not connect or disconnect the iPad from your computer while recording.
Do not connect the iPad to (or disconnect it from) a power outlet while recording.
Record from another music app using Audiobus
In GarageBand, choose an Audio Recorder, Amp, or Sampler Touch Instrument.
Open the Audiobus app, and add GarageBand as the output.
Open the app you have added as the input in Audiobus.
In the Audiobus connection panel, tap GarageBand to show its remote controls, then tap the Record button.
Play, sing, or create sound using the input app.
When you finish, tap the Play button in the remote controls section of the Audiobus connection panel, or tap the Record button again.
The recording appears as a blue region on the track for the Audio Recorder or Amp Touch Instrument, or as a new sample in the Sampler Touch Instrument.
