Hi,
Will Orchestra Jam Pack work with Garageband '11? I'd rather shell out for a true Mac product than opt for Mainstage but want to make sure the discontinued Jam Pack will be compatible with '11.
Thanks in advance for answers/advice.

The Orchestra JamPack is compatible with GarageBand '11.
The question however is, if the installer of the JamPack will be compatible with Mt. Lion. when you buy the JamPack, make sure the installer is not a PowerPC application, that cannot run on MacOS 10.8.2.
MainStage 2 will install all five JamPacks, including the Symphony Orchestra JamPacks - it is by far the better deal than buying one of the boxed version alone. The price for Mainstage 2 is much less than the price of one single JamPack, and you get all five of them - and no trouble installing on MacOS X 10.8.x.
Regards
Léonie

Mainstage 2 is a true Mac Program. But you do not need to actually use it other than as an installer to install the JamPacks on Mountain Lion. Afterwards you use the JamPacks from GarageBand or Logic, just lke if you had used the much more expensive stand alone JamPack installers.
There will be no difference from the Garageband side of view.
Thank you so much for your responses, LeonieDF.
Are you saying that if I buy MainStage 2, I'll get the Orchestra Pack within the MainStage app? I was going to buy the Orchestra JamPack from an online vendor and I can't trust that it will be compatible (it was being offered at a ridiculously low price so I've got to think it will give me the PowerPC error message....).
I'm not sure what you mean by "installer" -- what I need is a string section (violin, cello, harp). If MainStage can do that for me for only $29.99, I'm in.
Thanks again.
Hi again...
I purchase MainStage and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you again for your patient responses and help, LeonieDF!
Great! Enjoy your music!
