So, I was browsing YouTube when I came across this awesome video:

This guy created a pretty cool jam song with Garage Band. Do you think this is possible with virtual instruments or the use of real ones?
What do you use?

He used GarageBand loops and very likely virtual instruments on this song. I use the jam packs, soundtrack loops, sony loops, virtual instruments, and recorded tracks. (I play violin and guitar)
If you have a midi keyboard, you can do incredible things with the virtual instruments in GB, considering it's a program that came with your Mac. I mostly do soundtracks for video, but have done a few songs for fun as well. Love GB and am even thinking about upgrading to Logic Pro.

I use the software instruments only. And no loops. I make all my beats on my Macbook's keyboard.:D Check my songs out!

What exactly is Logic Pro?
@sowillo14- your songs are pretty good, but they could be better with loops. Nonetheless, it must have been hard to do without em.

I use all loops. Some are software and some are real. Mixing and matching.
See my sig...
