That old debate was sure to surface ... now we just need the thread to shift, SOMEHOW, to Taylor vs. Martin. Thae PC-Mac thing is an outdated debate though anyway, Round 2 is underway and the situation is reversed.

There's a lot more like that - check out the flex time editing in Logic, for example (less useful for solo guitar, but still cool). And automation of all parameters. I don't think you have any of these things in GarageBand, tho I could be mistaken. There's also a ton of routing flexbility, with busses and sends, that I don't think are available in GarageBand.

I think it's extremely common - simply expected by most players these days. Just like writing a paper or article - you need to be able to edit to polish it up, change a comma to semi-colon, fix a mis-spelling, etc. Everyone has their own approach, and I hear stories of people who do massive editing, maybe hundreds of edits in a tune. I'd get bored with that, so my approach is usually to get a good take, one that I could probably live with, then just make a few tweaks, kind of like I did in this concocted demo - is there a better ending? Is there a take where I held out a cut-off note? Did a chair squeak? You can just polish up those things, while still keeping the integrity of the overall take.

For me the DAW is both a recording tool and a creative tool. If you just use it as a recording tool and never use any of the synths, drummer feature, etc, then it doesn't really matter much.

it looks like GarageBand (at least the version I have loaded) includes buttons to turn on flex time editing and automation. I have no idea how to use them or if they're anywhere near as powerful as the Logic versions, but they're there.

jm - Check out Apple's 'One-to-One' Program
Aloha jm,
You may already know about this, but Apple offers a "One-to-One" Program where for $99 a year, you can receive as many individual training sessions in GB or Logic Pro as you can schedule. If you are considering a move up to Logic Pro X DAW from GB, that program can make ALL the difference in cutting down the learning curve to a fraction of what it would be trying to learn it on your own. I signed up for 56 'One-to-One" sessions in my year & it really helped. Best training money I've ever spent. You can also renew it. I occasionally do a refresher session to keep up with each Logic version's new features. Check it out if you haven't already, jm. A Hui Hou! alohachris |

Garageband is incredibly good and works, under the hood, in much the same way as Logic Pro (so, for instance, the Master Echo and Master Reverb are just 'sends' to a bus... if you open a GB project in Logic you'll see the send and the bus, it's a neat way to learn).
I kinda think of it like this; Garageband = cowboy chords (really, really nice ones) Logic Pro = every string, every fret, in any tuning with capos and and an extra pair of hands.

My son is a bluegrass guitarist and recently helped record, mix, and produce his band's CD in a local professional studio. They used Sonar.
When it was done, he started messing around with doing some home recording on our Mac (using what he had learned working with the pro in the studio) and we started looking into upgrading from Garageband to a "real" software. He messed around with it for a few nights, watched some youtube videos, did some research...and realized Garageband would do everything he needed it to do. It obviously doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Logic or other "pro" softwares, but if you're just looking to record and mix some acoustic music, it'll do everything you need it to.

So, since your on a Mac and if your at all familiar with the extent of "word processing" possibilities there are for computers , a much better analogy might be: "Imagine I am a gifted writer " why would I need anything other than the basic "Text Edit" program that came with my Mac. So just as you might choose something with much more capabilities like Microsoft Word for multiple reasons. So too, you might look at something other than GB ...... Or like Garage Band, you could just type away with Text Edit and call it good.
