 Getting the Most from GarageBand at MROB
The reason this matters is that GarageBand has to periodically load in parts of your real instrument tracks while it is playing (because there is not enough memory to keep them all loaded all the time).
This bug is fixed by getting GarageBand to play the track for a second or two, and then stop (in other words, hit the spacebar twice.) This seems to fix the problem by making the application or the audio driver clear (flush) its sound output buffer.
GarageBand works pretty well, but without MIDI it kind of defeats the purpose of getting the Edirol UA-20 in the first place.

 Rocknerd | Review: GarageBand
GarageBand fills the next obvious gap in Apple's integrated software packages, which so far have included iTunes, for music playback, CD burning, and playlist creation, iPhoto, for photo manipulation and album creation, iMovie (see a pattern here?), for QuickTime movie editing, and iDVD, for DVD creation and burning, including interactive menus and other features.
GarageBand also requires a DVD drive for installation, since it comes with what appears to be several GB of loops on one disk.
GarageBand's volume automation settings are MUCH easier to use than Deck's, where one had to spend quite a lot of time clicking and command-clicking around on the little volume envelope display in order to create drag points, and then dragging them around.
