24-bit Garageband | Let's Go Apple! Options

[Scott Lanaway]

Anyone here interested in starting a petition to encourage Apple to make Garageband 24-bit capable?

I am a semi-pro musician who loves the speed at which I can work in this program. The GUI makes it a creativity enabler.

Anyone here concur?

(For the record I'm well-versed in Cubase SX and own Logic although I rarely use them anymore)

All we need is that 24-bit pro quality. 24-bit sound would seal the deal for me.

I guess Apple needs to make money on Pro vs. iLife pricing, so lets say standalone Garageband 24-bit for $499? Either that or give this GUI to Logic Express. I run a small studio and multi-track with a MkII 828 so it's not like I need the gazzillion advanced options of programs like Logic and Cubase.

This program is what I have been dreaming about. Honestly, even at 16-bit, I will be releasing music made in this program because of the type of creativity it has fostered. I'm one of those artists who prefers 'feel' over 'perfection'.

You´re absolutely raight. It is too much for a bunch of "regular" sounds and a cool interface. Besides all troubles and bugs....Logic Pro is my favorite too.
By the way, I am having some problems with sounds in EXS, they seem to disappear and it says " Sorry, Piano FM.aiff (or anything) could not be found..."
And of course it is a pain in the back when that happens. Anybody knows what
to do in those cases...? Thanks in advance.
Speed, in music, is not of the essence.....
