"It's for You" finally loaded after I opened a different song and then opened "It's for You" with GarageBand already running. Why should that work ... who the fuck knows. This is stupid.
For a moment it seems like victory but now try and play it back. GarageBand keeps saying original audio outputs are not available so it is switching to builtin input / output. Any other software can see the mixer and use it and that GarageBand and System Audio are pointed at the correct device ... but GarageBand just does whatever the hell it wants ... and it's wrong. See above about stupid.
The progress is the song is not lost and there is some prospect for being able to start mixing again ... but it ain't going to start right away.
This is so damn Microsoft.
That there is some progress changes in no way my overall estimation of Yosemite. It sucks gigantic jagged boulders and good chance Apple can kill itself by trying to make all devices appear the same, use the same data, etc, etc. This assumes I want to take a music project on which I may have worked for years and, holy mackerel, today I want to load it onto a telephone and work it by pushing silly screen buttons. I've never seen a more classic case of technology running around looking for what happened to its head. Cross-platform transparency sounds so swanky in a corporate board room ... but now let's see you use that crap. Pfft.
Here is what is likely the most comprehensive review of OS X Yosemite and it was written by John Siracusa, bright guy and definite MacGeek. (Ars Technica: OS X 10.10 Yosemite: The Ars Technica Review)
If you made it through all twenty-five pages, you'll have seen a stream of migrations toward making the desktop a telephone. Siracusa seems supportive of this but maybe he does want to work on GarageBand on a telephone.
