GarageBand

[Black Snake]

I don't know who on this forum uses or has a Mac besides Eco or TDK, or who has tried a Mac. But it boils down to this: GarageBand f...cking rules. For those of you who don't know what GarageBand is, it is an application on Macintosh computers that allow one person or musician to, within less than 45 minutes, create a blueprint of a song to his/her liking. Not only is it commercially available for professional musicians to easily mix music, but for amateur musicians to produce their own music.


Reason 1: You want to produce your own music? Then dump whatever sorry ass MP3 Transformer you have on your PC and get GarageBand. If you have a small MIDI file of you playing your guitar or bass on your computer, and want to form it together, you can do that with ease on GarageBand. You want to know a fact? Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor wouldn't have produced the hit album "With Teeth" within the time span of what seems to be a week without GarageBand. AND the band released a GarageBand copy of the album for GarageBand users to remix.

Reason 2: Nobody EVER knew about putting loops of prerecorded files together until GarageBand was released. In one copy of the application of Garage band there would be 1,000 prerecorded loops and 50 sampled or synthesized instruments. And if, for whatever reason you can find an excuse for, if you bust out another $400 for 4 GarageBand Jam Packs, which include more than 2,000 recorded loops and instruments a pack. My point is that if you have at least a spec of patience in your mind, then putting together simple 5 second loops of music can entertain a civilized man for at least 2 weeks. Once I figured out how to run GarageBand on the school Macs (because Microsofts montly security server charge costs too much), I have been sitting in Computer Applications class for the past month not paying attention to the tight-assed teacher and mixing stuff in GarageBand.


It's seriously that awesome. Go get it. And just to prove that you can actually do something with GarageBand, here are a few links for you.

Have you learned of the greatness that is Macintosh?

The superiority that is Apple computers?

The awe inspiring feeling in your pants when you use GarageBand?

Apple Macintosh.
It's what the professionals use.

Now that my advertisiment for Apple is over, Yes, GarageBand is an AMAZING program that allows you to make what ever kind of music you want, from Punk to Rock-Reaggaton fusion. It's better then ANYTHING you would ever find on windows EVER for making music.

Anything on windows, for that case.

Macintosh is to Microsoft as Wii is to PS3.

You have to try it, but once you do you will instantly moisten your area and go for more.

Best of all: GarageBand is considered crummy by pros who use even more astounding Mac-exclusive programs.

An idea just struck me. Lets end this PC vs. Mac quarreling once and for all with one of those category face off things like they usually do on Adult Swim. Categorys will be: Price, Accesibility, Exclusivity, Innovation, Safety, and Hardware/Software.

PC vs. Mac

Price: PC manufacturers like HP and Dell sell their stuff about on par with Macs, that is, if you look at the raw price. With every add-in your total is gonna drop into about 1,500, which is one PS3 more than the full package Mac offers with its iBooks. Mac:1 PC: 0

Accesibility: Well, Macs can operate at full capacity anytime, or in the time of about 30 minutes. With PCs you have to sit deleting all the sh*t Microsoft loaded on to your PC, assuming you know where to look and which files to look for. Another proven fact is that a baby can learn how to use a Mac. There is no right click bullsh*t with a Mac, Apple made it easy to use. Mac: 2 PC: 0

Innovation: PC's stand there, get a new OS in 7 years, and don't progress at all. Meanwhile, look at what the Mac has. Screw your USB jump drive or your portable harddrive add on. If you want at least a computer, give up a mere $599 and get a Mac mini. These things are so portable that they can fit inbetween Pamela Anderson's knockers, or Jenny Kraig's.....I don't have to go into detail here....... or if you want the badass chaingun of the computer world, get a Mac Pro. Right off the bat this monster has a 3.0GHz Intel Xeon processor and a 3 Terabyte HD and an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Video Card, which is recommended on the cover by most high resolution video games, like CoD 3, HL-2, Doom 3, and Battlefield 2. So what do PCs have? Mac: 3 PC: 0

Exclusivity: Well, it's obvious here that nobody goes to Mac if they want an endorsment or a partership, which is half the reason why Bill Gates wipes his ass with 100 dollar bills. Hell, the only decent way to play a computer game, is with a PC. Because nobody uses Macs, right? Mac: 3 PC:1

Safety: Enough said: Mac: 4 PC: 1

Hardware/Software: Macs and PCs have practically the same Hardware, but they separate at software. With quicktime, iTunes, GarageBand, Time Machine, iChat, iCal, iLife, Dashboard, AND Animation Core, Mac has so many useful gadgets available for anyone to use. You don't see PC's with that kind of sh*t.


Mac victorious against PC 5 to 1.


You know, I bet the guys in the PS3 lab developed it with a PC, and the guys in the Wii lab developed it with a Mac.

Actually, Macs can run Windows XP if they use Intel processors. So PC may lose on the exclusivity bid. But I'm not here to argue for one side or the other because I'm biased as it is.

True fact:

The Xbox360 was designed using a Macintosh for a prototype

It won't really matter since Macs kick the sh*t out of PCs anyway.

By the way, nice new website design.
