Gee, how often does it need to be pointed out, the software isn't supposed to do what you want. For that you can have upteen other programs.

The fact that PG music ever made a product, like Powertracks then RealBand, is a testament to trying to give a simple DAW at a time when there was almost nothing.

I'm glad your Garageband talks to all your other software DAW stuff. That's an accomplishment.

BTW, IF they sync their own software to Band in a Box, that might be good. Go ask Pro Tools. Last heard everyone agreed that was the industry standard, get a studio to sign you and out comes Pro Tools. We, the fools, use Band in a Box and Audacity, maybe Powertracks or even RealBand.

But we all know deep down you need studio musicians and then it's out of your hands.

Unless Justin Beeber at 11 is your neighbour.
