My bad.

QUOTE (Gnuus @ Jan 8 2004, 19:04) Why is Garageband not a free download? Because Apple wanted to piss you off... Think about it... Do you work for free? Do you have rent or a house payment to make? Well Apple has people that work for them that write code that is very useful to all of us. They have mortgages or rent to pay, families to feed. Damn, I don't ever recall Apple being a NON PROFIT Organization... Grow up.

I personally feel Apple are trying to move Logic into more of it's own brand. I think this release of Garageband will eventually evolve into the new Logic.
The fact they pulled logic from the PC market will have anoyed a lot of PC musicians and I believe a full rebranding and repackaging of such a successful product will help further Apples grip on glbal domination.
They want to be big, and they have every right to be. They make the best products and market them to the people who need them the most.
I can't wait to find something that allows my creativity to flow easier and quicker.

Anyone wanting to know more about GarageBand can take a look at the GarageBand section of the Apple Forum; in particular this thread which has some more information about what GarageBand can and cannot do. (I still haven't found any screenshots yet that feature MIDI note editing.) Overall I'm still impressed with GarageBand despite its limitations, though a full review will no doubt reveal even more.

Someone please clarify... You need at least a 600 MHz G4 to use the software instruments. It says so in the system requirements. Yeah, that's right. I'm trying to separate out in my mind the distinction. The info page says G3/600, and G4-G5/600 for the software instruments. It would be a bummer to be stuck with just the MIDI instruments, but I quess it could be done with a G3/600. I was looking at the info page again. Some of the instruments play as MIDI info and others are audio samples. It just isn't clear to me which is which during use right now. I suppose there will be some kind of icon to distinquish between the two. The built in loops may all be audio samples. Steve Jobs mentioned that some of the drum loops were done by a famous Motown drummer, but he didn't mention the name. The ordering page has all the nitty gritty. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO...nMore=M9364LL/A
