GarageBand Jam Packs

Oh no! Here we go again! Last time Apple released a Jam Pack I had trouble staying away from GarageBand for a couple of months. Jam Pack 2: 'Remix Tools' and Jam Pack 3: 'Rhythm Section' sound amazing, you can check out some samples at the Apple site. Remix Tools seems to be particularly suitable for my next project--as the Apple store puts it "GarageBand Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools is an expansion pack of additional content for iLife ‘04. It extends the number of sounds available for creating music, providing even more creative options. Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools appeals to electronic dance music enthusiasts across a number of genres including Hip-Hop, R&B, Techno, Trance, and other Electronica styles. The instrument/loop emphasis is on new electronic drums & percussion optimized for different genres as well as new synths. Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools includes popular classic drum machine sounds licensed from Roland."--Perfect!

Also of note is Logic Express 7. Apple seem at have a really sneaky upgrade policy at the moment, sneaky but cool. First you get addicted to GarageBand, then you need more so you purchase a Jam Pack or two, then you fancy some multichannel recording or to be able to print performances using standard music notation so you get Logic Express 7 and then there's Logic Pro 7 :)
