It's also been years since I've used it extensively. @Dyl ?

@DaoDDBall@Dr_J i use GarageBand, but not the last versions... I guess effects are gone because Apple wants us to buy Logic stuff...

Thanks @Dyl I just found a download for free of effects. 7+ gigabytes. I've not played with it yet. But, yeah. They want us to buy Logic.

I just remembered... Can't you go to the Garageband menu and choose "Download more sounds" or something like that? I'm not at my Mac at the moment, so I can't look, but I think it's there.

Thank you @Dr_J  that was what I did

I used to use Apple's "Soundtrack Pro" software for sound effects. That was a very good piece of software (which Apple eventually abandoned), but not really made for musicians. I think it basically became redundant because Final Cut Pro has it's own sound editing functions. If I were you, I'd use FCP.

@Neumuzik , thank you. I do, and it works well for me.

Many of the sounds, loops I used are now gone....boo hoo.

Mary, have you all the extensions loaded? I found many on FFinal Cut Pro too.
