Opinions on recording with GarageBand

[triantobebrian]

Howdy all... Long time no drop in.

I'm doing I personal survey at Strat-talk, Line6 and Bareknucklepickups forums to get an opinion on GarageBand.

I'm very limited to my recording ability - I bought cubebase a few years ago but it wouldn't work with my laptop - I won't bore you with the details......

But GarageBand - not even on a mac but on an iPad is PERFECT for me.  I have a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 36, and can go directly from the red box DI (with cab sim) to the iPad.  I'm also using a Line 6 DT25/pod500 set up but not directly yet.

So what I'm asking you all is what's your opinion of the amp sounds that come directly from GarageBand?????
I'm a tone junky - absolutely hate digital processing 'tones' - but like what I hear through GarageBand.
Any opinions for someone doing basic recording??? Ie. enough to get a track down in mp3 quality - but not looking for a full on Cubebase style wav (?) form quality setup recorded with a mic in front of a Mesa boogie amp in a studio at $300 an hour.....

My opinion is that Cubase is much better than garageband and always will be...

Garageband is a stripped down toy of a DAW.

If its capabilities suit your needs, go nuts. It doesnt compare to any other major DAW in capabilities. If you like its amp sounds then whats the problem? Why do you need us to tell you what you should be hearing? Like them? Use them.

I need your approval........  Personally!!!!!

Just enquiring about the amp tones and wether they're up to a good standard - that's all.
Not worried about features - just are the sounds as good a quality as line 6 or cube base stuff.

Cheers.

Does that Cubasis work on an IPAD mini as well, or only the full-size one?

EDIT: It does!
