k, i really really really wanna get garage band, its the perfect app for me, i don't need the software instruments and all that... whatever
minimum requirements call for 600mHz G3, i've got 500mHz. what do you think would happen if i tried to run it?
the funny thing is i remember about two and a half years ago, discussing which computer to buy, and my saying, i don't think i really care if there's an extra 100mHz...
somebody console me, tell me everything will be alright and i'll get to use this awesome software without having to buy a new computer that would cost more than a nice digital 8 track.

I'm a bit confused. Garage band looks awesome, but how is it different than Soundtrack? It appears to be the same except for the inputs (live recording and such). Is that really the only difference? If so why continue with soundtrack when it seems to have fewer features?
And what's up with the expansion for garage band costing twice the price of GarageBand(iLife 04)?
That being said, looks cool and I can't wait to try it out =)

no integration into iTMS like some had rumored but pretty cool nonetheless.

This looks like a very cool application, I was hoping they would introduce something like this. I will certainly be looking forward to trying this out asap!

Garageband rocks. I hope anyone who didn't see the live event stream goes to Apple's site and download the replay so you can see Garageband being demoed.
I'd like to know if the $99 Garage pack uses all new loops or steals those that come with Soundtrack.

Doesn't appear to have any MIDI support other than for keyboard input... bummer.
I was planning to finally junk my last OS 9 apps and was looking for a replacement for the late lamented Opcode Vision. Logic is way too expensive for the kind of messing around I do. :(

What I can't seem to figure out is whether it supports AU instruments or just AU effects. If it is the instruments too, then this is huge.
BTW teh 600mhz limit was only for Apple Loop playback, not for just running the app.
