If you didn't read his, I was kinda tempted to shell out for soundtrack after playing with it at an apple store. Thankfully, I was a bit short on funds at the time.

The latest update for GarageBand has a large nod in the direction of China. Not only are there language localisation options, but also Chinese sounds and option. Apple Loops for Garageband. Instrument, genre, key reference. Apple Loops have become a popular file format for Mac users who favor Garageband and Logic.

Another disguised little blessing came when I killed my crummy GE speakers. I'm glad I got some nice speakers this time. Now all I need are some nice headphones for the wee hours.

I watched the keynote last night. After seeing what GarageBand there and what John and Steve did with it, it confirmed what I already thought. Of all the iLife and other iApps, it will stand head and shoulders above the others for quality, quantity and value.

After watching the keynote, I'd reckon I'd crawl over broken glass to get GarageBand - and even then be prepared to pay $100 for it alone! This thing is gunna sell Macs! Even more so than iMovie does (I bought a Mac to get iMovie but woulda bought one sooner if they had GB back then) PS Steve's mix amused me - showed how easy it is but also showed it helps to have an ear for music and some creativity to get the most out of GB.

His mix was pretty ho-hum. Zaxwerks Pro Animator 6 Serial. I think everyone here is on the same page. I was almost ready to fork over the cash for Soundtrack, too. In fact, if it weren't for my wife, Logic 6 Platinum might have been in my sights. Ideally, though, I wanted something under $250 that would have loops, lots of instruments, and the ability to record.

Being fairly idiot-proof would have been a huge bonus. Heck, I might even pick up an electric guitar some time in the future. My buddy has this thing called 'Guitar Port' that is pretty neat.

It has different amps and lets you jam along with other guitarists via PC. It's a hardware/software combo (around $200, I think) but it also has a low monthly fee.

GarageBand would give you a similar experience for a fraction of the cost. I also like the name. By the way, can you export tracks from GarageBand to Logic? Click to expand.Looking at Squire's quote from the GB page, '.You can connect microphones or instruments to your Mac and record the various parts of your composition on different tracks. You can even try using your Mac’s built-in mic.' It's ambiguous coz it still doesn't say 'at the same time'. Of course, logic says that to record simultaneous audio multitrack would require multiple audio inputs.

Finale 2009 Manuale Italiano Download on this page. My PB only has one audio in. And I think most macs only have one. But on the other hand, I imagine there's usb or firewire devices that do multiple audio lines in, each able to go to their own track. There's things like that on the accessories page. The example scenarios they give, each are about individuals (Beth, Daniel, Kathy) and in each case they lay down one audio track at a time. It will be interesting to see.

The first person to get their mitts on GB so has to get some screenshots up - if they can drag themselves away from it!

These let you drop a little loop of music into a square on a grid (or record your own), and then trigger that loop by tapping the square. Everything plays in time, so you can use it to DJ with loops and samples and create sick drops like VITALIC.
