Dunno why but it's available on Amazon for $123: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Garageband-Jam-Pack-Orchestra/dp/B0008GLGRM At that price you might just find it worth it to buy Mainstage 2 which I believe gives you the right to download all the jam packs (about 20GB) for free. Quite a deal at $30

Or maybe it's another way of pushing you into buying Logic Pro. Problem is, if Logic Pro isn't accessible, I have zero incentive other than the packs. Gr. Friendly, Chris -- I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. On Jan 2, 2012, at 2:22 PM, Ricardo Wal

This is a great question. Honestly, I haven't a clue. They haven't updated or added a new jam pack in maybe 5 or 6 years. It could mean they are coming out with something new or, they are scrapping the entire project. Besides finding some retailer who still has some copies, you would have to

Hi Ricardo, That was another question I wanted to ask. Why in a world Apple would stop selling them? I am sure they know the reason. :) I have to see if I can find them somewhere for a discounted price. Wouldn't want to pay full only to learn that something new is to come out in the next few months

Hi Ricardo, I wonder why Apple stopped selling them. Do you think they plan to release something better? Having those jam packs has so vastly improved my GB experience that I can't imagine being limited to GB without them. I hope they're not trying to push everyone into Logic without making sure

Hi Kawal, I messed around with Garage Band some last summer, but found it pretty limiting without a keyboard. Others may disagree, but my take is that if you want to do much, you'll want a keyboard. Cheers, Donna On Jan 1, 2012, at 12:06 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > I'd like to know is Jam Pac

You're welcome, Donna. It was fun creating those tracks, and it does give you a wide representation of what GB can do, one song being rock, one more marching band or orchestral and one purely piano. By the way, the piano one used the Steinway piano, but I forget what jampack it was from. Friend
