Yeah, seriously. Using the built-in effects is what's killing your performance. It's resource-chompy enough without any effects, and then you go up in there with amp simulation, EQ, reverb, and drum tracks, and all of a sudden you've got more than your hardware can deal with. It adds up really fast, especially in GarageBand 2 where they figured, "Nah, fuck it, they'll eventually have all the resources they need, let's just make this shit as detailed as we feel like."
It's the same problem that the game LockOn had. Brilliant in theory, but it was around 4 years before hardware finally caught up with it. It eventually almost killed the game entirely.

Then you don't have to deal with any of that "Oh man I am getting SHIT sound and my computer is running slow as hell" crap from using the built-in software effect simulators.

No way dude, I have a MESA/Boogie and their direct outs suck ass in terms of speaker emulation.
I SHOULD just mic up the amp, but the point is that Garageband 1 ran FINE and GB 2 runs like SHIT.

I would offer my install CD but I highly doubt you'd ever give your shipping address to a total stranger in Albania.

Guys, here's my baby. She's a Dano U-1 Re-issue, of an unknown vintage. She is PURPLE.
I need to get some new strings and probably get a setup done.

That is a really neat guitar. I guess Danelectro goes for a simple approach to their guitars. How does it sound?
