Hello everyone, just picked up my first 17" MBP a couple of weeks ago and its awesome... always wanted one. Ive heard of Garageband but Ive never heard a mastered CD out of it.
Wanting to know, how good is Garageband to edit and does it have plug ins, like preamps, compressors and things like that. Also, how many plug ins can you use per track?
I currently record out of a Roland VS-2000 CD, its good, but I want to be able to use aftermarket components to edit my instruments/vocals. But I would need hardware, and as you all know hardware is way more expensive.
One of my main questions is, can you record more than 1 track at a time? Particularly about 6 at a time. (1 track per piece on the drum set) I mic up my drum set and it takes about 6 mics, then record my B-52 amp via a mic as well. I use all Shure SM57 mics, PG Shure mics for my drum set and for vocals/acoustic im using a Blue Bird condenser mic.
Also, how can I use my Studio Monitors to listen to Garageband? Monitors use 1/4" jacks to plug into my Roland studio. Would I just need reducers to plug into the 1/8" headphone jack or what?
Thanks
