The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.

If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.

Is it possible to still get the older version?

Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.

Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?

OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.
