Rain Recording, an company that makes computers for audio production, asked if they could use an old post of mine for their "Pro" section. It's up now (with some revision) as the newest addition to the page: In the Garageband. Yes, there is some irony in writing a piece about cheap and free music software for a company that makes a $10k recording workstation, but I guess after spending that kind of money you'd be tempted to cut back elsewhere.
