MacVoices #20209: MacVoices Live! with Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus (2)

Our MacVoices Live! conversation with featured guest Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus and panel members Dave Ginsburg , Brittany Smith , Frank Petrie , and Warren Sklar continues with more about Bob's new book, GarageBand 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't stay away from the Apple/Epic Games battle, but this time we approached it through the copycat version of Apple's "1984" commercial and director Ridley Scott's comments about it.
