I’m very pleased with my MacBook Pro. So pleased that I decided to break down a song into midi and record it in Garage Band, just to have the midi files.
BIG MISTAKE. Garageband does not export midi. Funny enough, Logic (both Express and Pro) will read midifiles from Garageband projects. So, the midi is in there somewhere. And no-one has written a tool to extract the midifiles. In that lies the drawback of the Mac: unlike in the Apple // days where there was a program for almost anything you could think of, ranging from serialport-programmable lasers to extracting text from Appleworks, somehow the Mac has become more of a “I’m content with what I have” community. Otherwise, someone would’ve come up with a way to extract the midi from Garageband files.
Other than that, I’m happy with the MacBook Pro. I really am.
