it bothers me when people refer to smashing GB loops together as "producing." even the components of this that aren't looped are totally unquantized, go get yourself logic or PT and start reading books.

keep in mind he's just started recently, likely with no direction or mentoring... be patient.

"i produce music" can also mean, " make music", and this definately qualifies as music

Garageband is fine, just don't use their loops. UGHH.com has a producer forum if you want to get more serious, plenty of samples/tips/info, etc.

so taking samples of prerecorded material and then a quick mixdown (note:garageband automatically calculates tempo changes with apple loops, so even less work required) is making music?

not trying to get down on this guy, but he has about 10 tracks of nothing but stock loops and VST synths, that were most likely recorded using keyboard typing. IMO you should be reading about compressors, gates, verbs, delay, etc. before you upload your music online and showcase it

thats funny, because the way you worded that made it seem like I had said that I make beats.
