Thoughts and complaints on GarageBand 10

I just recently started using GarageBand 10 for the first time since its October 2013 release. Up until now I had been doing occasional work in GarageBand 6.0.5, from the iLife ‘11 suite (also known as GarageBand 11, which isn’t confusing at all).

I decided it was time to get on the “newer is better” bandwagon and [start a new project][coptp] in GarageBand 10. Historically GarageBand has been one of my favorite Apple apps because I’ve used it a lot for some really fun tasks (read: making songs with my high school and college bands). Because of this, I was eager to try GarageBand 10 for superficial reasons (cleaner look, retina assets FTW), but thinking that it’s previously been a relatively strong app that they’ve probably only made it better.

Boy, was I wrong.

Here's a quick attempt at trying to build off of some quick tweets:

@cdzombak @vitalekj @a_j_r nice! Another underlying point is that the delegate example is easy. I've seen experienced devs struggle w/ it.

@cdzombak @vitalekj @a_j_r I think many devs' love of callbacks helps demonstrate this
