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'.

Wow. I think you may be in the minority--$499 seems like a large amount of money for a self-described "semi-pro" to spend on software.

I suppose it's not out of the question that a 24-bit GarageBand could be in the works, but I suspect that Apple's intention with GarageBand is to suck people in with its power and simplicity, and then get them hooked. It certainly worked for me--I was a ProTools LE with Live 3 rewired into it user until I started playing with GarageBand. Now I'm a confirmed Logic Pro user.

You´re absolutely raight. It is too much for a bunch of "regular" sounds and a cool interface. Besides all troubles and bugs....Logic Pro is my favorite too.
By the way, I am having some problems with sounds in EXS, they seem to disappear and it says " Sorry, Piano FM.aiff (or anything) could not be found..."
And of course it is a pain in the back when that happens. Anybody knows what
to do in those cases...? Thanks in advance.
Speed, in music, is not of the essence.....

I'm with you on this one! I would like only two features added to GarageBand3. First, of course... 24-bit capability. Second, I would love to be able to overdub on sequencing tracks, like a drum machine style sequencer. Thats all. Otherwise, I love this little app. It sounds great! I'd sign a petition for sure.
