Sounds like someone tells porky pies. Yes, there is a difference between systems (most likely caused by different panning laws), that might make someone unable to get as good a mix on an unfamiliar DAW as on the one they use most frequently. It's not enough to make a mix sound thin to a client. That's just total BS. More to the point. This guy had "clients" (in the plural) who complained, then he bought Logic and remixed everything and they were happy? Wouldn't happen. Just like Judge Judy says. If it doesn't make sense, it probably isn't true. And this just doesn't make sense.

So, it seems that (contrary to what I had learned from other sources) that software DOES have a sound. I thought it was all just 1's and 0's...

You don't need to worry about it. Really. When you're a multi-million record selling engineer... that's the next time that you should even entertain the notion.

Apart from usability, flexibility, etc, am I still going to get pro recording results from Garageband? I just upgraded to Leopard so my Cubase SE doesn't work anymore, and I'm looking around for a replacement. In the meantime, I need to make music.

It's not really about audio quality. Its more about features and workflow. If Garageband does everything you need it to do, then chances are, its enough for you. If you're used to Cubase (in any flavour), I think you'll be disappointed by Garageband, but its not the sound quality. Why not try it out, since it came with your Mac anyway, and just see if it does what you need it to.
