GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. Though GarageBand is an exclusive for Apple platforms, it’s really ubiquitous within this bitten world. With the same iCloud, you can use GarageBand on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All of these devices (if relatively new) provide enough performance and almost no latency as you play in real time. Jan 04, 2014 Just realised my original software reinstall drive (or the one that came with the laptop anyway - factory slim white apple 8gb stick) says on it 'Mac OSX v10.6, iLife '11'. I tried installing GB (alone) off it but it fails with no reason given. It's the same drive I used for installing OSX and had no problems (it has 10.6.5 on it). Mac users interested in Macbook pro garageband for os 10.6.8 generally download: GarageBand 10.3 GarageBand allows you to mix and create your own music tracks and podcasts.
Get free sound packs from the Sound Library, build grooves with the Beat Sequencer, share and store songs and audio files with the Files app, and more.
