Logic Express An Extension Of Garageband

I've been using GarageBand for the past two years. Frankly, I love it. I've been creating and recording some good stuff with it, I think. But I'm ready to move up, especially so I can record 24-bit audio. Logic Express seems like the logical step for me. Are there similarities in the two programs. Or is Logic Express a quantum leap different?

Thanks!

Logic Express Versus Pro Tools Le

I use GarageBand on a G5 with ample amount of RAM. I'm ready to get another software DAW, mainly because I want to move up to 24-bit and I'd like more recording functions. (I also need to get a 24-bit audio interface). Also, adding to situation is a member of my band is getting a Pro Tools rig. Which should I get, Logic Express or Pro Tools LE?

I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Integrating Workstation With Mac?

I need a recording device that I can take to musician friends' homes for recording. After recording a track I will bring it back to my G5-based home studio for mixing with tracks I prepared in GarageBand. I can't afford $1,200 or so for a new Powerbook, but I can plunk down $400 for an digital eight-track system. I have my eye on the Fostex MR-8 HD, which has phantom power and can record four tracks simultaneously.

Does anyone have any thoughts on doing that? When I put the workstation tracks into my system will they sync up time and pitch-wise?

Thanks!

Is Garageband 2.0 24-bit?

Can you record 24-bit audio on Garageband 2.0? And is there a noticeable difference between 16-bit and 24-bit?

Garage Band Vs. Logic Express?

I'm a former Micro Logic AV user who is thoroughly enjoying Garage Band. But occasionally I need a program with effects sends, etc. I'm thinking about Logic Express, which looks good to me. What is other people's experience regarding Logic Express? Thanks!
