This is the semi-pro step up from garageband and is the smaller brother of Logic which is Apple's flagship pro recording software. However does not have any audio recording features other than midi. Probably the biggest selling music package out there. This really is the bee knees for music, more effects, sounds, buttons and options than you'll ever need.

Not perfect but it is free.Īlberton Live is another great package that largely works with loops but is expanding its features with every release and it becoming very popular with DJ's. This is a hugely underestimated peice of software with great hidden depth. It will involve you relearning things in a new package but it would be worth it, if your going to switch the first thing you must do is not try to make you new Mac into a PC.įor basic music creation and audio editing your new Mac will come with Garageband as a part of iLife. You will find that the packages you'll find on the Mac platform are far superior to Soundforge or Acid. The Mac is the premier platform for music production and thus has far more pro and semi-pro packages for this purpose.

Its funny that as a potential switcher than your trying to keep you PC hat on firmly after the switch.
