Customer Reviews
Garageband spends
Garageband used to be decent for creating simple songs with ease, but something has definitely changed. Any time I use Garageband I just end up watching a spinning icon insisting I wait on the program to trudge along. I run Logic Pro and it does just fine. Apple needs better software quality control for it's lower end programs. I'm done witn Garageband.
Love it for podcasting and movies
I use garageband for my podcast as well as underscoring and adjusting the audio in my home movies. It's easy to use that I figured it out on my own with little reference to the user manual. Great job Apple and thank you for all the wonderful loops and tracks and lessons!
Scans for AU unit at startup
With this newest version GarageBand scans for new Audio Units every time I launch it now instead of the first time only as mentioned in the pop-up. Very annoying.
