Just wondering...since Apple GarageBand is basically like a pro-music producing program, I wondering if it will be coming out for PC anytime ever?
I sadly have a PC (I want a Mac but can't afford it) and one of my majors is in music and I'd really like to produce professional sounding music.

i have garageband on my mac, and it's not all that it's hyped up to be. the real pro music software is cubase, or you could record in a recording studio, because home recordings are always going to be echoey and have background noise (ie: computer fan, doors slamming, etc.).
garageband seems really cool, but when you try to play something on your computer keyboard, there's a slight delay and it screws up your timing. the only real way to get your music to sound right is use a real recording studio, and typically analogue equipment sounds better (at least i believe so, but this is subjective).
plus, you'd need an engineer/producer to record it all, unless you're really knowledgable about those types of things (don't know if you are or not).
just my 2¢

ps: if you'd like to screw around with echoes and delays and fading songs together and minimal editing stuff, you could try Audacity, it's a free program and i use it all the time to fade songs together and make live compilations and whatnot.

dont use mac, cuz theyre really not very good, and garage band is nothing like professional software. the PC version is called Pro-tools i think, but there is a PC version
otherwise use cakewalk.

I would go with pro-tools or digital performer.
On the side note, here's a way to do podcast related stuff on Garageband:

There are better programs than garage band... ACID is pretty good... and it is for PC. so yeah... i would go with something other than garage band... espeially if you are using music as your major :) ok well i hope i helped you!
