GarageBand for Windows

I was given the challenge to find GarageBand for Windows by my daughter. She had used GarageBand on a Apple at her school. I’m also hoping to use a product like this for working on my music (piano and drums). So this is my journey. Hopefully this will help you too if you have the same challenge.

Requirements:

  1. Take existing songs and mix them together.
    • Take short clips from songs
    • Adjust the tempo as needed
    • overlap songs
  2. Create new songs with a variety of inputs
    • Midi input from Keyboard
    • Midi input from Electronic drums
    • vocal input from mic
    • other existing songs (like the mix above)
    • other input from mic
  3. Easy to use
  4. Variety of output choices
    • CD
    • mp3
  5. Inexpensive
  6. Works on Windows XP with 512meg of Ram

Please add some comments if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.

    Take a look at FLStudio at http://www.fruityloops.com. The FruityLoops or Producer edition just might do the trick…

    Fruity Loops Studio is probably the best out there right now. I wanted to get GarageBand too at first, but FL studio turned out to be much better. You can get it for $50-70 at http://www.academicsuperstore.com

    Your problem with Audacity is you didn’t have anything selected! When you want to edit certain sections, you select the part you want to change, THEN go to the effects menu. Try that.
