GarageBand Jam Pack: World Music
Hmmm... Not convinced...
Written by KK from LONDON
Feb 3, 2007
Im not convinced it is worth £70. I produce mainly hip-hop music and I was looking for something to spice it up a little...
The loops were dissapointing (not that I use loops), so if you are buying this JamPack for the loops then try and find something a tad cheaper and better.
The instruments on the other hand were very good... not excelent... but very good. I would have liked some steel drums, but there is a good range of instruments in all the main musical categories. Theres some nice manly South African vocals too.
All in all, a good collection of instruments, but probably not worth £70. …More87 of 175 people found this useful
