Garageband old version - where can I find the file?
So I'm going to teach a home recording class, and as I was researching I discovered that Apple no longer gives away Garageband for free. (Poor taste, apple.)
Does anyone know where I can find an old version of the Garageband online? I think the software is good to learn daw basics on. If I can't find a place for my students to download it I may just suggest they try Audacity first and then take the leap to a 'pro' daw of their choice.
Are all your students using Mac equipment? If Apple no longer supplies it for free do they supply at a cost? If so isn't downloading it from some other source piracy? Certainly you would not be teaching a course based on illegal services.
Audacity is freeware, works in both PC and Mac, I would think it is probably a better platform.
Mine is B flat because yours is A sharp
Garageband is included on the OEM installation disc for your Mac ONLY. If you upgrade your OS to the latest version, Garageband is not included. That has always been the case afaik. Trying to download Garageband from any other source is most definitely piracy. If you have the original install disc for you mac, you may have to install that OS. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
You paid for your gear. Pay for your software. Otherwise, don't ask for help.
You helped yourself to the software? You can figure it out for yourself.
The Internet does have search functions and download sites:

I read "iLife" but anyway, the "Audacity" of those people!

The iLife apps are on the software restore disc that came with the machine.
Do a custom install.
I have a Powerbook G4...same thing still apply?

Yes. If your Powerbook shipped with OSX.
