The new stuff in Garageband 09 sounds good. the lessons feature sounded fun. until I clicked on the 'Lesson Store' and read - 'The Learn to Play feature requires an Intel-based Mac with a Dual-core processor or better'
the new Mac isn't in the budget till next year. |

i've seen references to a workaround for ppc macs. you can run the lessons manually by opening from their location at;
/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Learn To Play/ This is from a post here at macfixit.com i'm not using GB'09, so i haven't tested it. Sorry about the occasional lowercase caps. my left shift key is dead.. -paul |

Thank you Paul.
The GB 5.0.1 update opened in Polish, after a bit of panic, I clicked on continue and changed the language to English. It worked. The other problem was when the sample lesson opened, it turned on my iSight (for sound input), which was in front of the speakers, so I had instant feed back(loud hum) till I moved the iSight out of sight. i really wanted to do Sting's Roxanne but I guess I'll have to wait for my new intel apple Dave |
