I had OSX 10.5 and I remember GB was there though I never used it. Now I run 10.8 and it doesn't seem to be installed - I looked in the Appstore and it's listed as costing £10 (about $15).

I wanted to check it's definitely not available freely for my Mac before I figure out what I should use instead for my hobbyist "record playing for youtube" needs.

This question probably belongs on apple.stackexchange.com – ObscureRobot Oct 30 '12 at 14:47
OP could keep it on topic as kind of a "[software-rec], free, with a preference for GB, and if not GB, then what for my specific and particular recording needs," kind of question... maybe? – JoshP♦ Oct 30 '12 at 14:55
@Josh Since we already have a couple questions regarding recording software, that would cause the question to be closed as duplicate. – Friend Of George♦ Nov 6 '12 at 17:57
@FriendOfGeorge, except it was closed as OT? – JoshP♦ Nov 6 '12 at 18:37
Duplicate, I can get behind – JoshP♦ Nov 6 '12 at 18:50

GarageBand has never been part of OSX, but iLife has come bundled with most mac systems. If you did a clean install of OSX, you will lose iLife. To get iLife back, look for the additional applications disc that came with your mac, and install iLife from there.

hmm, I'll look into that. Would iLife that came with my Mac and 10.5 work with 10.8? – John Nov 8 '12 at 21:06
I have no idea. – ObscureRobot Nov 8 '12 at 22:34
