A string of reference links isn't an article, particularly when they don't say anything one couldn't just write. better writing, more details about the software and that last sentence verges on meaningless (references or no). I'll come back to this later - David Gerard 19:47, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)

From the article:
:Version 2 was announced at the (2005) Macworld Conference & Expo on January 11, 2005.  Major new features included the abilities to view and edit music in Musical Notation form, to record up to 8 tracks at once, and also to fix timing and Pitch of recordings.  It shipped, as announced, around 22 January, 2004.

message: The article says that key signature and tempo cannot be changed within a song. This is not true; you need to click the Track Info button (marked with an ), click on Master Track, and the options for key and  tempo will be there. Mattderojas 00:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have reorganized the article, adding section headings and moving content araound to better reflect the structure.  Very little content was changed/added/deleted; what was was minor.  I hope this is an improvement.   Baccyak4H 16:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Was GarageBand going to be a Emagic release prior to acquisition by Apple, or was it developed specifically for iLife. And is Emagic still an entity, now owned by Apple, or has Apple completely taken over Logic/Garageband coding?
Just out of curiosity, is there a program similar to GarageBand for Linux?
:Not exactly the same (the fact that you can only use certain precreated instrument sounds in GarageBand, instead of being able to import them from any source, is a direct result of it being proprietary, corporate-controlled software), but there are plenty of DAWs, MIDI sequencers, and effects plugins available free for Linux; however, they, unlike GarageBand, typically require at least a 2nd-grade education and more than a couple of mouse-clicks to set up.

message: I'm removing the second half of a sentence in this section
     There was also another GarageBand Jam Pack 1 that was discontinued early on; the instruments were probably put into the other Jam Packs.
The part of the sentence after the semicolon is speculative and I doubt there would be any source stating that certain instruments were moved to other Packs. Rajrajmarley 00:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd personally love to know if GarageBand's loops and samples are restricted in some manner, or royalty free, as many restrictions would make the inbuilt samples pretty much useless for commercial music... Although, many people (including people on this talk page) have mentioned "(Notable Musician) uses a GarageBand loop". Xmoogle (talk) 00:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this is misleading. Currently, yes, it is true, but previously it was included software, wasn't it? - Dudesleeper /  Talk 10:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The only way the latest version has been available has always been as part of iLife (and, by extension, free with mac hardware purchases) - although older versions of certain iLife applications has become downloadable for free from apple's website.

thread_title:  Only available with iLife? 

message: Garageband records and exports audio with the sample rate of 44.1khz, and it can't be changed. Bit depth can be changed from 16 bit to 24 bits, though. This needs to be mentioned in the audio section.

message: I am new to GarageBand, having just recently downloaded it to my iPad Mini.  I am very happy with it, except for one huge problem -- I cannot collaborate with my friend who uses GarageBand on a Mac.   He can import GB files I create on iOS, but I cannot import GB files he creates on his Mac.   I have been googling the issue, and it appears that GB *used* to be able to share files between Mac and iOS, but with the latest versions, that functionality has been disabled?   Is this intentional on Apple's part -- I can imagine they got worried about iPad sales cannibalizing MacBook sales -- or are there some technical aspects that drove this decision?   Why wouldn't Apple have a function in GB for Mac to save a project in "iOS format" for sharing with iPad users?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.3.37.79 (talk) 14:03, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I've added the top notice  to the article, as it contains a number of puffery terms, including, but not limited to, "myriad bug fixes", "realistic sampled instruments", "wide array" of sound creation, "popular hardware", "extensive array of pre-made audio loops to choose from", "large collection of plug-ins and sounds". In general, the tone of the article seems very promotional, and it needs toning down. Asav | Talk 07:07, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
