Bob Massey of the Washington Post has a favorable review of Apple's new GarageBand (part of iLife '04). He ends the review with "The GarageBand name hides a certain irony -- it's hard to make a song sound any way but slick and seamless in this program. But this same relative sophistication (especially all the effects-processing options) opens up some fascinating possibilities for anybody with a keen ear for sampling and hip-hop production values. You can have a lot of fun here."
