A string of reference links isn't an article, particularly when they don't say anything one couldn't just write. Needs 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.

[edit] My comment on Garageband
You can change the tempo and pitch of the music... where it says the tempo (120 default, next to the BPM) you can click on the small # and move the slider up and down, if you raise the bar, the music speeds up, thus you have raised the tempo. Changing the pitch is harder to explain, so fool around with the options in each individual track...
[edit] Tempo and key signature
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)
What it means is that it cannot start at one tempo/key and become another as the song progresses, i.e. you can do it in A, then change your mind and put it in B, but you can't have it change to this midsong. Powrtoch 05:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Anyway, I took out the blip about only being able to import entire songs from a CD, as I personally have imported songs stored on my hard drive. Powrtoch 05:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
You can change it midsong by choosing Track > Show Master Track (command-B), then choose Master Pitch from the pop-up menu, and then click on a place where you want to change it to create a "handle." Then, click on the handle and dragging it up or down. (See GarageBand Help) -- M (speak/spoken) 22:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Garage Band for PC
Is there anything like this software for PC users.
[edit] Reorganization
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)
[edit] History
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?
