Garageband existed well before 2004,but I can't find any references to it. I think emagic (or a predecessor) had it out in the 90s on Atari or Mac, or both. I remember using it in high school, and I remember when Apple re-released it in 2004.
Does anyone have any more info on this? It's surprisingly hard to find.
- kn0where 7y agoYou might be thinking of Logic or one of it's predecessors for Atari and Mac. I don't see any software that used the name GarageBand before Apple though. > Logic stemmed from Creator, then Notator, made by C-Lab (the company's forerunner) for the Atari ST platform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emagic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emagic
- Intermernet 7y agoGarageband definitely existed. I remember my music teacher showing me in about 1993/94. It was very simple, and we usually used cubase, but it was a thing. That's why I'm asking! It seems to have disappeared into the music software black hole and I have definite memories of it existing many years before Apple released their version of it. I'm talking well before osx came out! I do tend to think it was a mac program though, as we had Ataris and macs in the music lab and I usually used the Atari with a Roland sound canvas module (can't remember which one) and garageband wasn't something I remember using with any frequency.
