The 867 did not come with Garageband. You need to buy iLife to get it. The internal sound cards are decent for the most part but, if you want to record with it, I suggest getting an external card with better inputs. You may have notice that the input and output on your 867 are actually the same port. If you are looking for something affordable, I'd suggest something like an Edirol UA-1A. It's USB and has RCA ins and outs (Which will definitely sound better than the 1/8" jack on your 867) Otherwise if you can afford it, you should consider a firewire sound card. -----Original Message----- From: g4-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com [mailto:g4-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com] On Behalf Of dapper dan Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 1:15 PM To: g4 at listserver.themacintoshguy.com Subject: [G4] garageband and audio questions does anyone know if the g4 867mhz powerbook came with garageband?im trying to find it but know not where? also i was told the audio sound cards that came withe these macs is pretty good.anysuggestins on a good mike to plug directly into my mac?and how about multitracking software.anyone have any opinions about free or paid programs like audacity or others? thanx dan _______________________________________________ G4 mailing list G4 at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4 Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
