    I’ve only been a MacBook user for about 2 weeks. It’s had its ups and downs. GarageBand is awesome and I’m surprised it doesn’t have better reviews. I’m a guitar player, and I normally use Reaper with EZdrummer 3. But the loop libraries in Ezdrummer are mostly overly complex, way overdone, and unusable. GarageBands built in percussion loops are simpler and much more usable, and easy to modify. This is an easy to use and powerful tool for a musician. Can’t believe it’s free.

    I have been using GB on MacBook Pro for years. Always enjoy using it and have been able to record/create some really cool projects, but the app regularly crashes without warning. I’m on a 2019 laptop with Sequoia and update my apps. I don’t download loops or patches, so I have no idea why the app crashes. It just shuts down mid-project. I open it up, work a little more, and it crashes again. Sometimes it doesn’t crash at all and works just fine. It’s very unreliable, but is a great tool when it does work!
  • My go to DAW for getting ideas laid down FAST!

    I see so many mixed reviews, if you are reading comments, and think, wow why a 4.0 rating? I believe there are a few reasons! Number 1. Because Garage Band is a free app, so people who are not familiar with DAWs or similar workflows, will download it and complain that it didn’t work correctly, because they, either didn’t understand what the app was designed to do, because they just have little knowledge of Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)halo do. But if you downloaded this app, open the built in sunths, drums, guitar, bass, and a ton of other amazing FULKLY playable instruments, you would quickly see that this thing is amazing! I love the “Smart Drummer” capabilities! I can lay down a track, Lets say I have two guitars, one hard panned Laft and one hard panned right, one guitar that is a FAKE TAKE teack that is dead center opened… Then I lay down bass …I can add a drummer, tell the drummer what track he should listen to to get the feel off the song, and BOOM you have a drummer, that NEVER takes a smoke break, never has fights with his “girl friend” and is NEVER late… I am only saying if you just installed the app for ONLY the synthAlchemy it would be STUPID not to give the app 5 stars …plus the hundred of presets in EVERY cat. I thank the DEVELOPERS and the TEAM it takes to make this app, BETTER than anything out there… What is amazing if Garage Band doesn’t cover your needs…and I get that, because once im past the demo phase I need a few more options… BUT I CAN OPEN Logic Pro and BOOOOOM!!!! Everything comes right over!!! My God Garage band should 20 5/5

    The App won’t open on Mac. It keeps freezing during the “complete sound library” download process. Tried multiple times with different troubleshooting methods.
  • Good but PLEASE FIX AU Audio File Player

    Now overall, I think this is a pretty good composing tool. However, when doing chromatics, I have to put separate audio files for each and every sound! I’d use the Audio file player, but it seems to be broken. Can you fix it, please? Thanks.
