Hi All, I, too experimented with GarageBand over the weekend. It's way cool and more or less for what I've been looking for quite a while (without breaking the bank). The guitar parts are mostly real instruments (me). The rest is sampled or composed. I posted some mp3s. I did not use doggiebox for the drums. Although, I think I like G-Band's editor somewhat less than D-Box's in terms of control over individual voices for the drum parts. I do like G-Band for editing instrumental sequences and writing parts. What I posted was more or less my attempts to figure out how to use the program in various scenarios. The URL is http://k2.chem.uh.edu/bittner/Tunes/index.html.en Since I'm not a drummer and couldn't write a good drum score to save my life, the sampled sequences provided a good baseline for adding fills, crashes, etc. In the "12-bar-blues", I put crashes and hi-hats in time with the organ/guitar/horn riffs and to give some demarcation of chord changes. For longer pieces, more memory is certainly order. Editing multiple stanzas of "12-bar-blues" caused considerable slow downs every time I wanted to move a sequence or edit a note or two. Cheers!
