My colleague with whom I make a lot of music has been squeezing her
creativity through a "free" version of Garage Band on a iPad. She has
had a great time with the UI but is beset by all the problems we all
know of with such products. She does not own, and cannot afford, a
Apple computer so cannot really get the benefits of Garage Band.
In the Free Software world what would be the best next step? Is there one?
I am flumoxed because I have a different approach (I prefers issuing
instructions to moving icons) and Garage Band is a complete mystery to me.
cheers
