most recording programs dont come with but a few basic software instuments,, or else they couldnt make as much money as selling them on the side, ive never used garageband but as for a recording program you have a lot to choose from, http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Sequencers-for-Digital-Audio-Loops-and-MIDI--2446 go to that link and you have a whole bunch to look at to see what would appeal and work best with whatever you are trying to do.
Hello everyone, I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right forum, forgive me if I haven't, and direct me to where I should be posting this. Anyways, I'm looking for a program that is similar to Garageband for the PC with as much software instruments included. I don't have any instruments to connect to my computer, I just want a program like Garageband.
