[QUOTE="mesut, post: 1536169, member: 310794"] Yeah, I have GarageBand. But I'm still trying to figure out a way to connect my electro guitar to it. I should get a connector I guess. But not sure if it should convert it to USB or something else. Other than that, I'm not considering multitracking, so that should be enough. GarageBand has a nice interface too. One other thing is the disappointment when I found out Mac doesn't support NTFS. Well, this was expected somehow, but I also expected a workaround out of the box. I had to download NTFS-3G for that. Sorry for being cheap here and not going for a paid and more stable solution (Medical school here is not cheap, and I spent enough when I got the Macbook Air). It is said to be a good solution with small storage sizes and files, but it is said that it can cause data loss with bigger files and storages. I read somewhere I don't remember that you can activate NTFS support with a code in terminal, which unlocks Mac's own support for NTFS but it is also said that it causes (not might cause) instability. Does it still cause instability in the system? My another question is about the apps that came with the computer, like iPhoto. With 128 GB SSD, I find it the logical way to store my archive (music, videos and photos) on an external drive. So I'm on the market for one. I think the "Mac experience" or the "Wow" moment might get closer to me if I can use iPhoto, iTunes and other stuff with my existing archive. But you know, you can't keep an external drive connected to your portable device forever, this would eliminate the first reason I got Macbook Air: portability. So, if I import (or index, I don't know) my archive into iTunes and iPhoto and other iApplications, what happens when I open one of these apps when the external drive isn't connected? Does it give an error saying "You don't have those files anymore" or something else? Does it try to copy everything to its own folder, say Musics or Movies? Because that would make my point useless :) [/QUOTE]
