  Per Cominciare

  GarageBand was designed for the Mac OS, by the developer who made the Mac OS, so Apple's beautiful software homogeneity makes GarageBand painfully easy to start up. I don't own a Mac myself, but I've done my share of being around my friends when they first get Macs, so I can tell you right now that GarageBand is a cinch to get running.
  
  
  
  For goodness sake, GarageBand comes installed on new Apple computers as it is, and if yours doesn't have it for some reason, iLife is almost criminally simple to set up, since it's designed to so perfectly integrate with Mac OS.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  Because of this, there should be no compatibility problems whatsoever, and it runs smoother than a new patent leather shoe.
  
  
  
  It has the basic functionality needed for anyone to get started on anything. Basic recording and MIDI functions hold your hand into the world of audio recording as long as you're willing to get into it yourself. Presets are the name of the game in GarageBand, so you're not overwhelmed with parameters until you understand basic workflow.
  
  
  
  It is possible, however, to overwhelm your machine. As long as you have a relatively modern computer, you should be fine. And being the beginner you probably are, you won't be running forty tracks at once because you want to comp all your takes.

  Opzioni Generali

  I could see how GarageBand would be a great tool, even for professionals, when quick idea capture is all that's needed. Logic is a wonderful tool, as are all the other DAWs, but quite honestly, they can get rather unwieldy if all you want to do is record a guitar lick so you don't forget it later. GarageBand doesn't come with any bloat.
  
  
  
  However, you can do some rudimentary projects on this as well! After all, we've heard of projects being done in Audacity, and GarageBand, I've found, is just quite a bit more comprehensive.

  REcensione di Hatsubai ( traduzione ) migliora questa traduzione "Beginner's DAW"

  Per Cominciare

  Apple's Garageband is their beginner DAW that they recommend everybody try. It's meant for those who just want to dabble in recording. It's built so that it caters towards simplicity rather than trying to overwhelm the user with tons and tons of options like so many other DAWs out there. It's a bit lacking in terms of compatibility with certain plug-ins out there. While certain plug-ins do work with the DAW, such as Superior Drummer, there are certain features that you might be missing due to the limits of the actual implementation. I never read the manual, so I can't really comment on that. However, Apple's support is usually great, and they have a forum dedicated towards helping out users in need.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  Garageband is known for its stability. There are few programs out there that are as stable as this is. However, as I said above, it's a bit limiting. I'm a power user, so this is all in the perspective of someone who records as more of a profession rather than a hobby. I find the lack of options to be a bit limiting as to what I can do. While it works for just scribbling down ideas and making some basic tracks on the road, I find myself wanting my full DAW more than anything else.

  Opzioni Generali

  Garageband is a great DAW for those who are just starting out, but keep in mind that it has its limitations as to what you can actually do. It's not meant for power users, and those who are used to professional DAWs might find it a bit lacking overall. However, if you're a casual musician who needs something basic to use, Garageband should suit you nicely. The best part about the software is that it's free, so you're more than welcome to use it to its fullest. If you can, however, I recommend trying to save up for Logic Express. You'll get so much more out of that DAW than any other DAW out there in terms of price, and it's extremely stable to boot.

  Per Cominciare

  The setup was completely done already. The Application was already in the computer and there is no manual for it, it's just a mediocre software that came with the MacBook Pro. GarageBand is only compatible with Mac, as it was made by Apple Inc. so you can't use it in Linux or Windows. It was pretty easy to figure out how GarageBand works it lacks many important tools for real producing. The program is already configured for the Mac working system and the defaults shouldn’t really be changed since you don't need to. The typical functions are accessible and easy to understand since GarageBand is made for people who are new to electronic music production. Everything in the program has an easy, self-descriptive name. For example, when you change some audio's voice sound, the presets have names like "Deep Voice" or "Helium Voice", etc while in other more professional programs to do this you need to use the EQ, Pitch Change, Compressor, etc. So, it's very easy to use and understand GarageBand but it lacks a lot of professionalism.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  The software does work correctly with this configuration since the program is installed already when you buy the Mac Computer. The default is meant to have GarageBand work at optimum performance which obviously makes it stable since professionals had it configured to Mac machinery, so the program will rarely close by itself or have any errors. If used GarageBand for about 3 months before I got something better to produce.

  Opzioni Generali

  What I like about GarageBand is that it's free and that it's easy to understand and access. It's pretty good for beginners and to play around with, but to produce professionally, it's very bad. The program lacks a lot of tools to mix voices in with an instrumental and it has very poor sounds to make instrumentals yourself. The sounds it offers you are just a few and they are very weak. GarageBand for making beats is horrible and for mixing, it isn't very affordable. Its value is great obviously since it's free but that still doesn't make the program better. The sound quality is pretty weak and it could be better. There are few tools to make sound be better. This was my first model to produce since it came with my MacBook Pro and I disliked it back then too.

  Per Cominciare

  This program comes standard on Macintosh computers. I never particularly cared for it very much, having been familiar with Pro Tools (and to a lesser extent, Logic) already before I purchased a MacBook Pro. The program is easier than Pro Tools to get started using, in fact, in hindsight it'd have been better to learn initially in this program. The setup is pretty basic, though it took me a little bit to figure some things out (for instance, to use the mic you have to set up a real audio track instead of an instrument track, etc.). The functions, which are somewhat limited, are easy to access.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  The software usually works fine for the most part. The configuration of the software with my MacBook pro is usually fine, however, sometimes I actually do a LOT of recording (like jamming and leaving it recording for the duration). When this happens, there have been times where it can't handle the workload. This can be prevented by keeping the number of tracks to a minimum. The performance is usually pretty fast, I think that maybe using it too frequently in a short amount of time would make it perform slowly, and occasionally stop recording in the middle of a take.

  Opzioni Generali

  I like the ease of use that Garageband offers. I really think that it's the best thing to use if you need to make a rough demo of something, a project you have no intention of releasing. I've actually been able to record a full kit and bass guitar with the Apple mic, and have managed to get really good sounds just by EQing and compressing. As far as mixing goes, there's enough features to make your projects at least listenable. The virtual instruments certainly don't hold a candle to Logic, though, so don't expect to make great music with those. Overall, it's a good program to have.

  Per Cominciare

  Apple Garage Band was easy to install, as it came installed with my Mac Book Pro when I bought it. It is designed by Apple, for Apple computers, so I never had any compatibility problems at all and it has always run smoothly for me. The interface of the program is very easy to follow, and is really just a simplified version of Apple Logic. I mostly use this software to record ideas and demos straight from the microphone on my Mac into Garage Band. I don't have a manual for this, but if you have never used any program like this, it might be a good idea to have around. However, on the other hand, if you have any experience with audio or MIDI software, you should be able to figure this out without a manual.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  I am currently running Apple Garage Band on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I have never had a problem running as many audio or MIDI tracks as I'd like in Garage Band with this set up. I have run up to about twenty tracks of audio or mixed audio and MIDI at once without issues. However, how many tracks and effects you can run at once really depends on your machine more than the software itself.

  Opzioni Generali

  I've been using Apple Garage Band for around year since I got my Apple computer that it came installed on. While I have Apple Logic and Pro Tools that I use for most of my projects, I use Garage Band for demos and ideas when I just want to record straight from my computer microphone. The price of Garage Band is free with an Apple computer, but is cheap within the iLife bundle if you need to buy it. Garage Band is powerful software even though it comes with all Mac computers. It is great for beginners looking to try out this type of software.

  Per Cominciare

  (Originally written by Billy B�gonia/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  It's a pity that the software has to be installed on the system's hard drive.

  Disponibilità/Performance

  I'm using an old iBook G3 800MHz with 640 M RAM and an external firewire HDD.
  
  I admit that my system is not very powerful. But a consumer software should work with an old computer. I bought GarageBand in 2004 and I can only play 5 or 6 audio tracks. The amp simulations and the virtual instruments use virtually all CPU resources.
  
  I know my system is old but it has enough resources to play 10 audio tracks with Tracktion and Reason via Re-wire.
  
  
  
  I've read reviews from people who say they can only play 8 tracks with a Macbook Pro, so I guess it must be a software optimization problem.
  
  
  
  [EDIT] I just replaced my old computer with a 2.4Ghz Macbook with 2Gb RAM. I'll stick to Garage Band until I buy Logic (I also have Cubase SE but I'm too lazy to learn how to use it).
  
  Everything works fine. I don't care about the number of virtual effects and instruments anymore. I even compose music for movies without a hitch.
  
  
  
  Effects are very convincing and virtual instruments are ok (of course you can find better ones).
  
  
  
  I'll still give it an average grade because it's really lousy with an old system.

  Opzioni Generali

  Pros:
  
  Easy to install and to use
  
  Not expensive
  
  Good effects
  
  
  
  Cons:
  
  Few possibilities without a powerful computer
  
  With my version I can't change the rhythm in the middle of a song.
  
  
  
  Conclusion:
  
  I'm happy that I found a free version of Tracktion that works very good with my old iBook. I can even record 8 tracks simultaneously which would be impossible with GarageBand.
  
  
  
  [EDIT] It's perfect for demos production at home if you have a new computer :D.
  
  I will use Logic to polish my songs.
