Some people can make garage band behave. On my system, most commands would work perhaps 25% of the time and even when they did, it was necessary to save the project almost 100% of the time before a new function would work. Combine this with virtually no undo and definitely no non-destructive undo and it was useless. If it worked the way it should have and was anything like stable, it would be a totally different prospect.
AmpKit is a guitar & Bass moddeler. You plug your axe in and choose heads, cabs, combos, stomp boxes and individual peddles and some mike placement and put all your fx in what ever order in the chain you like and create your perfect tone or use the tuns of built in presets it comes with. You can play to a backing track, over a metronome with a pile of tones or a standard click and record in the app. You get both a dry and a wet mix which you can then do what you want in your DAW of choice. I've herd rumours there thinking of adding multi-track functionality in the future but this I can not state with any factual knowledge. <smile> Danny: On 13/01/2013, at 2:09 AM, "Phil Halton" <philh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Danny and welcome to the list, > I've only been at the Mac coming from the windows world for a few months now, > and I too am a musician of sorts.
