Apple GarageBand Tips and Detailed Info

well...

You can drag n drop import mp3 and wav files but I'm not sure about waveform cutting. You could do that in a 3rd party app like you said. Some of my most frequently include Sound Studio ( http://www.felttip.com/products/soundstudio/ ) and Quicktime Pro ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/buy/ ).

Sounds

Are the soft synth sounds that are included with the program any good? I have a kurzweil pc2 and I like the sounds on it. Anythings that sounds reasonably close to the sounds on a roland, yamaha, kurzweil, or korg synth would be alright. I'm also curious if there is a way to use a click track in the program. I'm curious if I'd be able to separate the click track into a mono track so that I can run the channel without the click to the board and the other channel to the drummer so that this app. would be useful in a live performance situation. This would be a great program if it could do these two things for me. Also, is there a way to do continious loops and then hit a key to go on to the next part of the song. They did a great idea.
