I know Cyrus, garage's band main purpose is to be fun and easy to use.  It fact, recording is almost an add on.  Even thought its a very powerful program it is not intended for pro use at all.  In this case Apple's only fault is to ship macs with default software that is almost good enough for pro use.  That is no crime.

Just like the rest of the iLife suite, its just for fun. 

I listen to you guys al the time at work, it helps me while programing.  lol

Great work.

Trust me, nyambe, if it's not there in 'show package contents', it's not there. The thing overwrote what we had just recorded with what we had recorded in the previous segment. Weird, yes, but, as I discovered in my research, not unheard of for Garage Band.

Hey you cant really blame Mac.  Garage Band comes with the OS.  Its not ment for pro-work.  It would be like trying to the a sports illustrated cover on MSPaint. 

Besides, NO matter what OS you have, you can recover the temp files if you crash while recording.  Always(pc or mac).  You might not recover the edit points in the program, but the raw audio file has to be there because... you were recording.  That works just like on tape. 

Maybe it crashed and you did not realize it, so it did not get recorded.  That still strange.

did you hit rec? lol

great show anyways.

get a zoom h1 as a backup lol

hi from spain!

@stiver the word inspiration can be also used. Apple took that idea (if they actually did) and started something that changed the face of computing forever. Which Xerox failed to do.. And then Microsoft came out of no where with a near duplicate a few years later. We can discuss who stole what and whatever, but Apple changed the face of countless industries.. The smartphone, music, tablet, commercial, computer, Internet, books, etc.

- - - LEOG & LANSDALE LISTENING! Part two- - -

What a good song.  That Kasey Lansdale's a talent to be sure

52:17 - Agreed re: Handshake Deals

53:35 - "To me the idea that someone's waiting to make me feel better in the end and give me a reward... I don't want to be good for THAT, I want to be good because it's the RIGHT GODDAMN THING TO DO.  Treat people the way they're supposed to be treated, with respect." FUCKING. A. I could listen to that quote all day.

55:46 - "It's a miracle that requires medical attention and recovery time? What kind of miracle is that?"  LOL.  Damn.  

1:06:16 - (sitting here, just listning to Kacey talk about musical influences, she DEFINITELY inherited her Dad's talent for hodling a captivated audience.)  

1:07:49 - OMG COOLEST MOM EVAR

1:08:00 - That's part of what makes the Ramones work so well, they're among the great angry early-punk acts... but their influences was the good happy-fun-time-rock.

1:13:46 - "He's one of us!"  Hearing him say that gave me a bit of a thrill.  :)  It's good to hear someone like Joe (a creator I really like and admire) unashamed to talk about him and other professionals being on the same geek-level as us.  It's important to hear that every once in a while.  remind yourself that your artistic heroes aren't necessarily larger-than life gods but can be humble geeks just like us

1:24:20 -  Woo!  Another song!

1:28:18 -  Aww.  now the songs over... and it's sad to know that I know the ending...

1:32:01 - WOO!  Awesome!  Maybe next time I'll leave my hero-worship-nerves on the shelf actually say something!  

1:33:01 - Fun Fact:  I was talking with Jason before and after his segment, and he was DRAGGING.  he had just gotten over a really rough illness and had just woken up one or two hours before the recording... but when he was interviewing, the dude was sharp, aware, and on-point.  A Pro, that Jason Murphy.

1:39:00 - Shitty things happen, but all-in-all a damn good episode was still put out, guys.  I got a lot out of it, myself.

Long live the League, And Lansdales!

- - - LEOG & LANSDALE LISTENING (LATE)! Part one - - -

Lawn work and a big alcohol fueled Farewell party totally monopolized my weekend... making LEOG my #1 priority this Monday morning. :)

14:15 - It suddenly occured to me that I haven't written down any thoughts or comments yet.  it's WAY to easy to just sit and listen when Joe is talkin.  

15:30 - I hadn't read John Carter, but hearing that breif breakdown on how he got to Mars is exactly the reason I like to read the old original stories, instead of relying on the newest movie or published re-imagining of a character.  Awesome.

20:02 - GHAH.  I still haven't started the Hap and Leonard series.  

28:28 - "If you're going to get screwed, get screwed with some money.  You'll get flowers, afterwards."  Joe R. Lansdale.

in General - a few years ago I thought I was a huge Joe R. Lansdale fan: 'til I learned how much of his stuff I hadn't yet read.  Discovered I hadn't even scratched far below the surface.  I first got into Joe's work with the Jonah Hex comics and continued in with the books with a more Horror slant... but haven't gotten to Hap and Leonard or the stuff yet, or the Bottoms... Gotta get off my ass and get readin.  I'm still a huge fan, just not as well-read in his work as I used to think I was...

34:15 - Jesus I wish I was in the room when Leon was geeking out over General Hospital and All my Children. :D  LOL

37:57 - My Grandparents on my Dad's side of the family, they worked thru the Great Depression too.  and the "Save it because it'll be useful later" mentality was a strong one and it sticks with me and my siblings and cousins today.

39:23 - (Another Spillio copy called out this quote out a few comment pages back... but it's so damn good it's gotta be called out again)  "If it cost a quarter to shit, we'd have to throw up" - Mr. Lansdale

- End of Part 1 -

PS to say: Damn that's a good song.  "Edge of Dark Water" everyone. Starts around 44:10

Steve Jobs was just given a tour at Xerox, which included the Xerox Alto, it's GUI and the concept of the mouse.  He himself admits he went and put it into the Lisa and later the Mac. He didn't pay for it, it wasn't a license, he just took the idea. No it isn't stealing, I was being sarcastic people thinking Microsoft "stole" from apple. Both companies did the exact same thing to Xerox, they took that idea.

Comment by Dilster3000 on April 9, 2012 at 8:03am

@stiver Apple "shamelessly" stole from Xerox? Get your facts right boy, Apple bought the stuff from Xerox legally. Unlike Microsoft who stole it. You may be right at some point, but Apple was the company that really started the "personal computer have a computer in your house" thing.. They made that shit easy and what it is today, without that step.. Shit would be different.
