Considered Both Products	Apple David Calvert Pastor for Creative Arts at Grace Community Church (Religious Institutions, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand Because GarageBand is included on macOS and iOS purchases, and we already use an Apple environment at our office, it was an easy decision to go with the 'free,' included program for our basic audio editing needs. We did also purchase Logic Pro X, since it is the 'big brother' … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Feauto Associate Pastor at Living Word Outreach Ministries (Religious Institutions, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand GarageBand is much more user-friendly and feature-rich than Audacity. It's also a far more beautiful application to run, which inspires much more creativity in the workflow. I think Audacity's team must purely focus on functionality. Functional, it is (albeit not feature-rich), … Incentivized Helpful? Tara Brueske Vocal Workshops and Voice Development at Tara Brueske (Music, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand Way more user friendly. Audacity was clunky in the editing part and Garage Band is not. I love that everything is laid out in an eye friendly fashion. Audacity had too many tools laid out in a busy way where it's actually hard to find things. Also, since Garage Band is free to … Incentivized Helpful? Kira Dineen, MS, LCGC, CG(ASCP)CM Podcast/Radio Host and Producer in Product Management at DNA Today, LLC (Broadcast Media, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand With GarageBand it's very easy to drag in MP3 and slide them where you want it. I have a folder of MP3 I use for every podcast episode such as intro music, outro music, advertisements, etc. I have used other audio editors like Audacity which I did not find to be intuitive. Audac… Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GarageBand Almost as good, easier to use Incentivized Helpful? Musab Nismy Founder in Sales at Hatware (Apparel & Fashion, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand Adobe Audition is another great audio editing/recording software, in fact it is much better compared to GarageBand and has much more effects. However, it has a pretty large price tag while GarageBand is completely free. Also, Adobe Audition has a very steep learning curve which … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GarageBand FLStudio: It has a breadth of functionality compared to Garageband, and its equally easy to use. Abelton: Its the best one that I have used, I have not even explored I believe 1% of the whole studio, but that proved to be enough for me on the project that I was working on. (For … Incentivized Helpful? Shawngela Pierce Life Coach \| Public Speaker in Professional Services at Seek Within You (Professional Training & Coaching, 1-10 employees) Chose GarageBand I have used Adobe Audition before but found it to be hard to learn. Some of the features were very nice but too much for what I needed to justify the price. GarageBand is perfect for my needs and it came free with my Mac laptop. That is the best deal in town! Incentivized Helpful? Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent in Sales at Hummel and Plum Insurance Agency Inc. (Insurance, 11-50 employees) Chose GarageBand GarageBand isn't the most powerful audio editing tool on the market, but for a free tool to Apple users... you can't go wrong. This tool has all the features a beginning user would ever need... and more! It's no Adobe platform, but if you're testing an idea or trying something … Incentivized Helpful?
