OK, but I really don't wanna buy something not fully knowing not just if
it's gonna be accessible but also will it meet all my needs
for example:
1. Can I edit audio, cropping things, paste mixing things, adding effects,
using pitch correction on my vocal tracks, adding effects like reverb,
panning certain tracks for a better stereo effect, raise or lower volume,
identify if I'm clipping on a certain track, etc.
2. Can I over-dubb, and multi-track onto seperet tracks then manipulate the
tracks individually?
3. Can I record both audio as well as midi?
4. Can I play back midi?
5. Say I have a midi file already arranged, can I import it, and then
over-dubb all my vocal tracks, and add pitch correction and effects like
reverb etc. to them?
6. Can I import an mp3 file, then over-dubb/multi-track whatever else on
top of it on a seperet track?
7. Can I add dynamic compression and E Q effects or envelope effects to
tracks?
8. Can I Do snap to grid kind of editting?
9. Can I have a click track produced by audio, not by midi that I can use
to stay in good timing?
10. If I can do midi, is there an ability to quantize each track
individually?
11. If I can do midi, can I import .sf2 sound font files and use them?
12. Finally, can I import and use external d x i, and v s t plug ins?
If sound studio can do all this, then I may, provided it isn't too confusing
of an app for me to work with, consider it, but being I do audio production
for a living, it needs to be extremely concised. Yeah, I do audio
production for a living, but work is incredibly slow right now. I'm sorry,
I just cannot afford Pro tools. Period, bottom line.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
I've not used this myself, but someone on a recent Maccessibility podcast
recommended a program called SoundStudio. They seemed to prefer it to
Amadeus, interface-wise. It can be found in the Mac App Store, and from
what I heard seems quite capable.
Best,
Zack.

I'd switch completely, but, I have yet to find anything that will easily
let me do audio production. OK, Amadeus will, but there are things I've
not figured out how to do, like manipulating an individual track. Say I
want to add just reverb to one track only, like my vocal track. Pro Tools
is great, but it's r3eally expensive, and I'm honestly not sure how easy
it would be for me to get the hang of. I went through Ricardo's podcasts,
on Garage Band, but I'm still totally confused. I'm more of a hands on
learner. I just need someone who could sit down with me for maybe an hour
or two, that's all I'd ask, either on phone or Skype, preferably phone,
and at least! help me with the basics of Garage band. I learn more
interactively than I do through recordings or lecture/tutorial. Now, if
Ricardo, or anyone wants to take up this request and work with me one on
one? I'm willing. I'll even pay you via paypal or check. I can't this
month, but come next month within reason I could.
Let me know if anyone wants to help.
My e-mail is:
cgilla...@carolina.rr.com
or:
clgillan...@gmail.com
Either/or. If anyone can help, and is willing, just write me off list and
let me know so we can set something up and proceed.
Chris.

Same here. I've had my Mac for just over two months, and haven't touched
my Windows machine since it arrived. I think in my case, the transition
was made easier by way of using the Apple wireless keyboard, and other
bluetooth keyboards with my iPhone, along with the phone proper, and the
trackpad commander. I've pondered long and hard about whether or not to
add Windows to the mix, and at this point, there simply is no need.
Everything on the Mac just works, and the overall experience has been
innovative, and fun. It serves my needs daily with everything from audio
work, to twitter, Skype, mail, word processing, and web browsing. The only
weak area thus far would be complex word processing, but I've yet to run
into, or throw something at VO that it doesn't handle beautifully.
End rant, however, while I'm sure there are glitches, I have yet to
encounter them, granted I'm far from a seasoned user. :)
hth, and have fun

Hi,
I am using my Mac full time and have done so ever since i got it about 2
and a half years ago. I have Vmware fusion on the machine, but the only
thing i use windows for today is websites that have captchas and audio
games, nothing more.
