My wife was shopping for shoes!!!!

This one is really awesome for such a quick work! I am quite amazed actually, you have a real talent for "typing in" music, seriously, you must have very good knowledge and hearing.

Did you like the Mac and also GB this time around?

Hey! Thanks for the listen, Artemiy. I do teach music composition for a living, so writing comes very easily to me.
I am gaining a greater appreciation for the Mac. I must admit that it still troubles me when I experience a great deal of lag while trying to enter notes into Garageband from a comp. keyboard. The software does make it very easy to get professional sounding results in a very short period of time, however!

Cheers!

oh Allan, that's lovely...did you also type in those pitch and mod bends? Fantastic .... I found it really difficult on the computer keys so I quickly connected my FanX to the Mac. However this feature is really handy if you are on the move or don't have your keyboard connected.

Anyway, really nice one in such a quick span and in a noisy environment inside Best Buy.

.... and yes, after reading the subject of your post, I first thought that, what I would see in the message was "... but bought a Mac instead" ....

piaknowguy, there is a lag in GarageBand when you use the regular keyboard because the system gives lesser priority to non-music hardware peripherals. GarageBand doesn't have that kind of a lag if you use a normal MIDI keyboard, even with an internal audio interface. With my Fantom-G as both audio and MIDI interface, the response time is pretty much the same as of the Fantom-G's sound engine itself.

Nice tune P

That's a great info for me Art

I agree with Art regarding the latency.... I have Fantom X8 and GB on my MacBook.

@Artemiy.

To be fair, I have tried GB with a MIDI keyboard and it worked flawlessly. One always hopes that, because 'Music Typing' is presented as an alternative, that it would respond the same way. I do understand what you are saying. Thanks, again.

...did you also type in those pitch and mod bends?

@Sishan.

Thanks for the listen. I'm glad that you enjoyed it! The pitch-bend and modulation were actually accomplished using the numerical keys. The [2] key was my pitch-bend and the [3] to [7] keys allowed me to introduce varying degrees of modulation to the sound.

Cheers!
