missing the older version
I recently updated my GarageBand from the older version, to this newly designed version on my Mac Mini (i7). After a few months of tinkering around with it I have found myself very much missing the older version. True, there are a ton of great new sounds and loops (for purchase) with the newer version, and they are without doubt terrific. My main issue is with the interface - pretty, but a lot more limiting than the older version. I create a lot of electronic music, and I find the new layout and options for filters and instrument alteration very restrictive, frustrating, and difficult to achieve specifically what was once very simple. My opinion, is that what Apple has done, is tried to simplify GB so much to create more of a gap between it and Logic - to limit what you can do in GB so that you’ll want to purchase Logic to achieve a better music. I guess they felt people were making too good of music without needing to use Logic.
