I've been assigned to create a musical piece for a team in as competition, and I don't know the first thing about music composition. So I did what any Mac geek would do and opened up GarageBand. This is a big time competition, so we have to have the rights to whatever we end using. Is it legal to use a song created in GarageBand, using Apple's GarageBand loops?

I know it probably is, but I just want to be safe.
 
Why have you been asked to do music if you don't know anything about composition? Bloody kids these days.

Also; I think they're free to use however you wish?

I've been wondering that myself. Though I do have the best musical ear of anyone working on the project, so I guess the Linux geeks I'm working with think that means I can compose music. :cool:

I'll write you a song. It'll cost ya though :p.

But really, you should be okay to use the loops. Don't let the musical community find you though. You'll be hanged.
