Our MacVoices Live! conversation with featured guest\xa0Bob\xa0\u201cDr. Mac\u201d LeVitus and panel members\xa0Dave Ginsburg,\xa0Brittany Smith, Frank Petrie, and\xa0Warren Sklar continues with more about Bob\u2019s new book,\xa0GarageBand For Dummies, Second Edition. That part of the discussion includes comparisons of GarageBand and Logic Pro, who each is for, and learning curves. Then, the panel just couldn\u2019t stay away from the Apple/Epic Games battle, but this time we approached it through the copycat version of Apple\u2019s \u201c1984\u201d commercial and director Ridley Scott\u2019s comments about it. (Part 2 of 2)
