I have always wanted to play guitar, just never thought I had any talent...still don't as a matter of fact, but my friend is really good and thinks he can teach me. well, we'll see! heh<br><br>

well, since 50% of american households have an active musician i think a lot of GB users will be very happy.<br><br>about all you guys thinking you have to have talent to use it, do remeber when you first started out with NO talent? what if people said to you what you are saying today. <br><br>Dont piss on people just beginning with music, thats plain wrong and shows a huge ego.<br><br>

do remeber when you first started out with NO talent? what if people said to you what you are saying today. <br><br><br>Nah, I always knew I had SOME talent. Just took me a few years to figure out what it was..<br><br>

I completely disagree with you. iPhoto and simple Photoshop filters make me want to take more pictures, and it makes me appreciate professional quality even more. Using iMovie with my little miniDV has instilled in me an appreciation for what professional studios can do; I now feel I can understand the work AND the talent required for different scenes. <br><br>Furthermore, the simplicity of something like Garageband could introduce millions of children to music creation. Talented children that may only have the money to use a computer or a musical instrument at school will be exposed to a lot more than just a single band instrument and a high school teacher. Who knows where the talent will come from?<br><br>I think this is only being pointed out here, because we have so many artists on this board. Well, cooking is an art, should step-by-step gourmet cookbooks be frowned upon by high-brow chefs? <br><br>I think this is a very snobbish thread. Take a look at yourself before you sh*t on someone trying to make art the best they know how. <br><br>

Well said. And amen to the "snobbish" part.<br><br>

of course there are people who do have amazing talent, who don't need to know anything about music, but they just feel what's right and what's wrong. this great app will help them tremendously.<br><br>i'm talking about pieces of crap made with no effort and no knowledge of music whatsoever. it's like flashsturbation. flash is also a great and innovative app, but look at what the majority of people create with it. <br><br>nutty, i understand that you're hurt by hearing something bad said about this great app. Apple has no control over this garbage happening and they shouldn't care about it. of course there is no doubt, i'd rather have this tool and deal with the garbage here and there than not to have GarageBand.<br><br>Go Apple go!<br><br><pre>PMG5/1.8Ghz/1GBRAM, PBG3/400Mhz/768MBRAM, AirportX</pre><p>

It's not trashing apple, i just dont get trashing people for something YOU dont feel is good.<br><br>How many people have written horrible books since the typewriter?<br><br>How many bad guitar solos must we endure since the invention of the amplifier?<br><br><br><br>There will always be something that YOU dont like that someone else loves!<br><br>I just dont like people trashing others creativity. If YOU dont like then fine, move on.<br><br>

it's like flashsturbation. flash is also a great and innovative app, but look at what the majority of people create with it. <br><br>Hey, Flash is a bitch of a program to sit down and learn. I applaud anyone who even took the time to sit there and figure out how to even MAKE most of the flashturbation that's out there.<br><br>Anything that takes time, effort, and motivation should always at least be appreciated for the hard work put into it. <br><br>Not that I know what I'm talking about with GarageBand yet. Knowing me, I'll probably play with it for a few days and just go back to what it is I do best...<br><br>
