Can I use Garageband instead of Audacity?

I have been using Audacity for a while to record music, but the overall interface is always confusing and the sound is not so great. Should I switch over to garageband?

Audacity not sounding great?
Come on, it is just recording what's getting in at the set sample and bit rate. It is not having its one sound character at all.
But anyway, this is OT for this forum.

I’ve never used Garage Band. I use audacity mostly for ripping vinyl and performing spectral analysis. It excels at those to tasks, especially because it allows you to input from a USB turntable into one long .wav file and then mark track transitions, label track names, and export to individual mp3’s based on those track marks.

GarageBand supports MIDI recording inside the software, which is unavailable in Audacity. Audacity only allows you to import, edit, and an export MIDI file. GarageBand also comes with a library of a lot of pre-recorded material that you can use for your project, including Loops and synths.
