Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), today updated the Garageband application for iPhone and iPad, the American company implementing a series of very interesting new functions, including support for Face ID. Garageband allows, for the first time, for an Apple application, the possibility to control its functionality using facial expressions with iPhone X and the Face ID system for facial recognition.
Apple claims that Garageband allows controlling guitars and some parameters of the synthesizer using only facial expressions, the idea from Apple being very interesting. This is probably one of the most important implementations for Face ID made by the Apple company separately from the creation of Animojis for the Messages application.
Separately, the Garageband application includes a series of new sounds for users, all of these updates being available for free to everyone via the AppStore.

- Use facial expressions and the TrueDepth camera for hands-free control over musical effects like guitar wah and synth parameters*
