smile.gif Hi, I want to know about GarageBand. Is GarageBand suitable for making a nice recording. I usually make music with GarageBand 3.04. If yes, I've heard that GarageBand 08 is saled on the bundled software, iLife'08. I want to know what's the difference from the previous version. Is it good to make music with GarageBand ? If yes, I want to purchase iLife'08 to get GarageBand 08. I want to know ev'ryone opinions. I like GarageBand because it's simple and easy to use.

I've just finished my latest project using the new GarageBand 08.
The new version is a lot slicker than the previous one and several annoying workrounds have been streamlined, The ability to add up to 4 plug-ins per track means a lot fewer tracks and therefore less cpu drain. You can now export your audio in 24 bit and there is a built in normalising function when you export to iTunes. With a few good plug- ins and access to quality loops I find GB a breeze to use and able to produce quality music.

So, I've been working with saxophonist Faith 'Dakini' Rhodes on a jazzy dance/House smile.gif version of the Crusaders classic 'Streetlife'. Took a couple of samples of Randy Crawford and mashed up some beats to a piano file, then Faith played her hot magic on top.
Mastered it using Vintage Warmer and Ozone 3.
We think it sounds good, but what the hell do we know? So come on all you Sound Sculpters and Engineers, download this mp3 file and give it a listen. Any serious comments/critisicms most welcome.

message for jimdubpram regarding your music file.

I listened to it quite intensly and my opinion is :

- lots of bottom end
- sax could be more clear so it stands out more, maybe pan it different also
- the piano makes the song a little bit muddy in the beginning, later on this is much better, when it all comes together

- the song overall has a nice groove and feel to it !

Good work on Garageband...

Cheers
