I also use GarageBand and it bugs me that I can’t make my tracks in any signature other than 3/4 or 4/4. It gets annoying to record in odd signatures. However I saw a comment stating you can’t do any signature you want in Cubasis so that’s why I’m holding on that. Does anyone know if you can make 9/8 or 11/8 or any other odd signature projects in Cubasis or can change the time signature within a project?

To me the big difference in these two apps is how open they are. Garageband is a closed wall environment IMO - the only way to get stems out is to mute tracks and export them one by one. I love Garageband's interface though, so this limitation of not being able further manipulate what you produce in GB is frustrating. Getting MIDI and audio in and out of Cubasis is a breeze.

For me, GB has lots of cool sounds and the Live Loops workflow going for it, but I never felt comfortable trying to build stuff in the piano roll midi editor. I much prefer to do regular linear style tracks in Cubasis. Also as noted previously, GB is a pain to try to get it to work with other apps. Not impossible, but a drag compared to Cubasis.
The freeze in Cubasis bakes all the Midi and effects on a Midi track to an Audio track, like a pre-render. It saves on a lot of processing.
Cubasis is on sale right now, GB is FREE (and you already have it I see). I recommend both if you have the space for them.

@Keenan Yes it works! AUM can be hosted as an IAA source inside of GB. I just tested it and it seems to work great.

When I need to get something out from GarageBand I just sequence it in GB, export the stuff as Audio and leave the session in GB in case I need to do some adjustments
(In practice GB is a 'content creator' for Cubasis).

As far as 24 bit goes- probably not necessary for just fiddling about, but I would definitely use it if I was doing something I cared about and quality was a major factor.

(If Cubasis had Files.app support you could skip the step with AudioShare, and actually you can if you use 'Open In...' from GarageBand).Actually any 'Document Manager' that is visible to the Files.app will do, it does't have to be AudioShare.If one needs to download files from the Internet or Networked resources (NAS etc.) I recommend Documents by Readle (it works in perfect harmony with the Files.app). The cool thing with Documents is that once you've set up your networked resources they are accessible from the standard Document Picker... (Say hello to direct import of files from your computers hard-drive).

You can't change time signatures or tempo in a project. Auria pro is able to do that but to be honest you're probably better off using a DAW on a computer if you want to be able to play with time.@theconnactic said:@nothumanatall said:

Does anyone know if you can make 9/8 or 11/8 or any other odd signature projects in Cubasis or can change the time signature within a project?Doesn’t Garageband do 6/8 as well? I think only Auria Pro has these kind of odd signatures, grids etc., plus tempo changes if you’re into progressive music. But Auria Pro has a learning curve, more like ProTools and Logic than Garageband or Cubasis.Freezing tracks is more or less like merging, yes. I don’t like the fact Garageband duplicates the project every time you merge a song.
