    GarageBand is a fun little application; I use it all the time and have wrung as much usability out of it as possible. But I really think Apple is missing an opportunity to further lead users by the hand toward Logic.
    The updates offered over the last couple of versions are OK—for what they are—but I really feel that Apple should offer a little more in the way of keyboard shortcuts and fine control via numerical input on some of the controls and functions.
    I don't think this would cannibalize the potential user-base who might be thinking of stepping up to Logic Studio; I think the effect would be just the opposite. If GarageBand users were given a small taste of what it's like to have better control of that application I believe it would act as an enticement for wanting even more control and flexibility—the things that will be found in Logic.
