Any user reports?
Just a toy?

 

[ook]

Have it. Haven't done much with it.

Seems like it could be usable, but definitely toy like, you're limited to applying only one vst/audiounit to the over all master track and at most two on any individual track. Editing patterns for drum machines or whatever seems buggy/unintuitive.

The sample songs are hideous.

But then I dont have full blown logic to compare it against so I can't say just how good/bad it is.

The one I really want to see is Logic Hit Kit!

The good thing about mac's is they let anyone do stuff
I use my mac for video editing... and therefore consider iMovie a toy, but an amaaaaaaaazing app for the novice

I'd imagine GaradgeBand is pretty much the same thing... it looks cool, looks easy, looks like anyone can use it... top marks!

still... I wont be dragged away from my cubase

It's a great application if you treat it as the musical equivalent of a sketch pad. Great for trying out ideas and getting results quickly. Treating it as anything more serious would not be a good idea.

especially since it takes at least a 1gig g4 to make the fucker work. totally bogs down my g3 600. give me reason any day - though its like a mac version of ACID

it's just a cut down version of soundtrack. just get that instead, if you can afford it.

Wouldn't you have loved something like that when you were 7? I know I would.

I think Lego was about the extent of my fun at seven years of age. I left him at it for about twenty minutes and the look on his face when I went back into the room! He couldn't get over the music he "had made" Probably apple's youngest fan to date.

These kids today, wha?!?!?
They don't know how good they have it!

There was no feckin' garageband software when I was a lad. We had cubase on a black and white monitor and an atari and it was good enough for us!

 

[tripoli]

I think I'm the only loser who didn't have an atari

In saying that, i eventually got broadband...it took a while but I showed them who's boss!!!

I had an Atari 2600 when I was 10. I wasn't cool though. I used to play it with my mum.

My mum is cool, though.

 

[tripoli]

Mummy's are cool, but yummy mummy's are even cooler again.
