Hi everyone, Does anyone on the list use Garageband? I'm in the process of deciding what sort of specs I'll need to be using this effectively - I'm quite impressed with this bit of software. I've had a play with a G5 1.8, a G4 Powerbook 12" and 15" and a G4 12" ibook - all of which had 256MB which didn't seem to be enough - after programming a few basic tracks, the system informed me that it didn't have enough memory to run what I was doing. I don't have much hope for my G3 Imac.
I currently have an XP PC that I use for audio production, which is a PIV 2.8 with a gig of RAM, which works fine for recording and mixing - would I need to be looking at least a gig of RAM for Garageband, or possibly more? I'm quite tempted to get a G4 Powerbook for portability (so my angsty music about the vending machine outside the office can be recorded when it next steals my choc chip cookie) though as I find with working on my PC, hard disk space is an issue so maybe a G5 Powermac with a hard disk or two could be the way to go? Any suggestions would be welcome - I like Garageband but I'm sure I'll pick up some more music software for the Mac once I get hooked on using it, so any advice/experience about audio production on a Mac would be appreciated. Thanks, Gav
