All good but

A basic feature like being able to track multiple instruments simultanously is not possible. In fact apple documentation says we can do it in garage band, but when I enable multi record in track headers, it plays them simultaneously but is recorded only at one track.

I can't change the speed of only one tempo/track

it's really amazing and wonderful product for music disigner, but there is a problem that i can't change the speed of one track/beat. which i can do the same in iphone but it don't work in mac. so please I'd request you please make this change.

Amps and Stompboxes in 10.1.1 Ver

I have figured out the Stompboxes in the Smart Controls and therefore, want to delete my earlier comment where I had requested the developers to include it in GB Ver. 10.1.1. I should admit that the Garage Band is a mindblowing audio software which Apple have bundled up in its Mac rage of systems. Thank you very much!
