Anyone who can click a mouse can instantly "create their own

the mac. And once the new user's appetite for greater things have
been stirred, he's bound to have a ton of Garageband projects he's
invested time and creativity in. What audio production software
will allow him to import his stuff and continue working with it?
Why, that would be Logic, and nothing else. So this new user's
upgrade path is pretty much cornered too.
for some yes, for some no. if they are really interested in what
they are doing they will look around for other possibilities which
isn't a mammoth task in this google age.
You may not see it yet, because older users still cling to their
older stuff, but the next generation of users will grow along the
path Apple has groomed for them. Or at least that's the plan of
Apple's management, as evidenced by their actions. You can see the
same development in other fields as well, Apple is positioning
itself as the main (the only?) developer of third-party software
for their machines.
Apple does invite us third-party losers to share the fun in one,
and one way only: we may write audio unit plug-ins compatible with
Garageband and Logic.
you are free to install whatever software you like whether that be
open source, freeware, apple or whatever else there is. you are free
to develop whatever software you like too.
Small record companies could really use such revenue, and the
entire music industry would get revitalized from it. Before you
knew it, music could actually become worth listening to again.
IMO music is still worth listening to :)
