24-bit Garageband | Let's Go Apple!

Anyone here interested in starting a petition to encourage Apple to make Garageband 24-bit capable?

I am a semi-pro musician who loves the speed at which I can work in this program. The GUI makes it a creativity enabler.

Anyone here concur?

(For the record I'm well-versed in Cubase SX and own Logic although I rarely use them anymore)

All we need is that 24-bit pro quality. 24-bit sound would seal the deal for me.

I guess Apple needs to make money on Pro vs. iLife pricing, so lets say standalone Garageband 24-bit for $499? Either that or give this GUI to Logic Express. I run a small studio and multi-track with a MkII 828 so it's not like I need the gazzillion advanced options of programs like Logic and Cubase.

This program is what I have been dreaming about. Honestly, even at 16-bit, I will be releasing music made in this program because of the type of creativity it has fostered. I'm one of those artists who prefers 'feel' over 'perfection'.

Cubase audio dissapears on G4

Hi there-

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can help me.

When I start Cubase everything is great. When I press play or listen to (or play) a VST instrument or anything like that, I can hear everything.

But if I stop playback, even once, I get no audio afterwards. I might press play to resume playing the track, but I'll hear nothing - even if the output graphics indicate that the tracks are being played. I have to quit and reboot the program if I want to hear audio again.

I've tried changing settings, resetting devices etc, but to no avail.

I have 704 megs of RAM with 500 allocated to Cubase. I run it on a gigabit G4 with the Delta 44.

Any help is much appreciated.
