Garageband 09 - Medium Bummer, not obvious system requirement for 09 Options

[davemoser]

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.

Don't take it so hard. Between the forums specific to GB and 40 bucks spent on a book like "Garage Band Power" , you should do fine. Mostly it just takes a willingness to sit down in front of the computer, try to have some fun, and not get too discouraged if you aren't coming along as quickly as you would like to sometimes. This is complex stuff. People talk about how easy computer produced music is these days, and that is only true because there are so many resources available to get the information quickly. It still is hard work sometimes, and a computer won't write a catchy hook or a good song for you.

Umm... I think davemoser means the new feature in GB'09, "Lessons" for various instruments is only supported on an Intel Core Duo or faster processor. Which is a bummer. But, the app still has some cool features.

I feel ya, davemoser. I am likewise not in the buy a new Intel mac mode just yet.

Good luck with the GB projects anyway.

Cheers.
