I prefer to use Windows. >And recognizing something is better isn't hubris. No, but the haughty, high and mighty, insinuation that someone is less knowledgeable because they don't agree with you is hubris. Your belief that something is better doesn't make it so for others.

The point of loops in GarageBand is that there are parts of a composition that you want to repeat (such as the drum line). By using loops, you can extend the repetitions of it for as long as is needed. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg> |
