    "Fun and friendly music recording software"

    November 28, 2011  |   By ohappydey

    Version: Apple GarageBand 6.0.4

    Pros

    Fun and easy to use, has a clean interface that's easy to navigate, has a good variety of instruments and loops that are customizable.

    Cons

    Can be laggy when used with a midi device.

    Summary

    This latest version of Garageband is a great upgrade to the earlier version. This has more virtual instruments, better AutoTune and more options than ever before. I like that the app has video lessons available through the App store, as well. The interface is really easy to use. My only gripe is that the app can be a bit slow when used with a midi device or uploading a number of sounds at once. Not too much of a big deal, though.

    "I'm going in circles..."

    June 3, 2011  |   By stevencee

    Version: Apple GarageBand 6.0.2

    Pros

    I might be able to mention some, if I could actually install the update....

    Cons

    Software update says I'm up-to-date, when I download it from the CNET site & try to install it, it tells me I must have at least GB 6 already installed. Well, I have 6.0.1 installed, so now what? Don't know where to go from here...

    "I must have overdosed on Stupidity Pills"

    April 2, 2011  |   By Ras-x

    Version: Apple GarageBand 6.0.2

    Pros

    So far none!

    Cons

    Well, I checked my version - 6.01. Can't get a download of 6.02

    Summary

    As I said, i must have overdosed on stupidity pills. Running 6.01 on both iMac and Macbook pro. tried downloading, and it shunted me onto Software update. it came back and said i was up to date. Checked, still on 6.01. Forced it to download, opened the package and it said - no, check the the App Store. Opened up the Store, there is 6.02 advertised, but it tells me it is already installed. checked "About Garageband", and it says I have 6.01 installed. Ok, I give in, just going around in circles - on both machines!!!

    "My savior for quick and quality production!!!"

    April 1, 2010  |   By jminutes2010

    Version: Apple GarageBand 6.0.1

    Pros

    1. user interface is beautiful and easy to use....

    2. does not buffer as much as other DAW's

    3. sound quality is top notch when the enviorment matches it ( soundproofing)

    4. Tracks come and go flawlessly straight to my Ipod!!!!

    5.FREe

    Cons

    1. WISH IT WASN'T SO PROMOTED AS A COOKIE CUTTER DAW LIKE FL STUDIO......
    IF YOU HAVE TRICKS AS A PRODUCER, YOU KNOW IT HAS MANY AMAZING ASPECTS!!!!

    Summary

    I have been a user since 06..... I have wowed many people from its production level outdoing quality in top PC DAWS for awhile!!!!!!!!!!

    Worth it .... it's because of APPLE'S production standpoint in music, and video that they surpass it all overall!!!!!
