GarageBand...yay Or Nay?

[silentarmyinthetrees]

I've recently been recording a lot of song snippets on GarageBand. A couple of my buddies work in the audio tech field, and they have differing opinions on the virtues/woes of GarageBand. Personally I love it, since I don't have the money for professional recording, and it allows me to produce decent demos on the cheap. What's everyone's thoughts about it?

woo hoo, first vote, and well, i guess you know how i feel about it.

[hum-an-ole]

I use it once in a while and I like it. There are a few things I would change, but for a free application I'm not complaining. The sound quality is pretty damn decent too considering it's a recording directly from the computer mic. You can get inputs to plug right in though, which can really help, and if you do things track by track you can turn out something pretty sweet.

free application?

I don't think its used professionally ever.

 

 

protools

cubase

 

and perhaps logic

 

are geared more towards proffesional recording

I've been using Adobe Audition.

free application?

It comes with every Apple computer.

 

Like the thread creator mentioned, it's great for demos. I mostly use it to record jams in case something awesome comes out. ;) (that's for you, Anton)

I'm pretty sure PC stands for "piece of crap"

I like it a lot, but it sure does have it's limits.

i like it, and i don't know half of what it can do. but for what i use it for, it's good

 

i just wish it'd put the songs in different formats

I've never used it either. I use Adobe Audition but I don't record professionaly.

Actually, Apple put the first PC's on the market...read the history :angry:

Hehe, I know, I actually met Steve Wozniak last year! PC generally refers to Windows computers nowadays though :angry:
