The new Magic GarageBand turns your desktop into a virtual stage, where you can choose the band and instruments they play to easily create amazing songs. Then plug in and jam along. You can even add a singer to your song with the new Jam Pack: Voices. And accomplished musicians will appreciate other new features like multi-take recording and 24-bit quality. pbMagic GarageBand./bbr Get the creative juices flowing. Bring the band together and let Magic GarageBand generate a new song. Create a virtual jam session or use the song project as a starting point to create your next hit. pbArrangements./bbr Most songs are arranged in distinct sections: introduction, verse and chorus. GarageBand brings this kind of structure to your song. With the different sections clearly defined, you can rearrange your song at any time. brbrbr pbMulti-take recording./bbr ul libDefine a region./bbrMark off the section of the song where you want to add your part. GarageBand repeats that section as you play, so you can lay down as many takes as you like. libSave every take./bbrEvery take you perform is recorded and saved. GarageBand displays that part of your song as a multi-take region. libPick your favorite take./bbrAfter you've recorded all of your takes, GarageBand makes it easy to pick the best one. As you play back your multi-take region, you can switch between takes in real time. Simply select your favorite and move on. libChange your mind, change your take./bbrEven after you've picked a take, GarageBand saves them all. That way, if you're so inclined, you can select another take days or weeks later. /ul pbVisual EQ./bbr You don't need to be an expert to tweak the sound of your mix in GarageBand. Using the built-in Visual EQ, you can adjust a track's equalization simply by dragging the EQ bands until you get the sound you want. pbAutomation of tempo effects and instruments./bbr Record producers use dynamically changing effects to keep a song sounding fresh and exciting from start to finish. GarageBand makes it easy to do the same by automating effect changes within a composition--so you don't have to settle for one constant setting throughout. table width="500" cellpadding="20" align="left" tr td align="center"img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/iweb-hero-th.jpg" border="0" psmallbiCreate websites that are more custom, more complete, more you./i/b/small /td /tr /table pfont size="+2"biWeb./b Your life: Now playing on the web./fontbr pbNew in iWeb '08./bbr iWeb makes it easy to create a website that's stunningly beautiful--and totally you.

While I use it primarily for iDVD and occasionally for iPhoto (I am an Aperture user), the media browser is AWESOME! Just burned a DVD with multiple slideshows and was able to select images straight from Aperture. To me the media browser is the best thing since sliced bread!! Programs are uncomplicated and easy to use while the help file is good too.
All around good improvements marred by inexplicable iMovie Downgrade August 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Of most of the products in the iLife suite there isn't much to say, because whether its iPhoto or GarageBand, the basic killer apps remain the same, but are also vastly improved from the '06 suite. The only application that this doesn't hold true for is iMovie '08, which is now rendered completely useless by several sideways "upgrades". The biggest one is the elimination of the timeline which makes actual video editing nearly impossible. There also dozens of other changes that make iMovie harder to use and less useful all the way around.br /br / iMovie '08 seems to be mostly focused on extremely basic home video assembly and that's it. Whether intentionally or unintentionally Apple seems to be gutting iMovie in favor of steering people into stepping up into Final Cut Express. br /br /Luckily, Apple seemed to realize that iMovie 08 was probably a terrible concept, and, unlike the rest of the iLife apps, iMovie HD 6 is kept in an Older iMovie file in your Apps folder after install. And there is really no reason not to keep using iMovie 6, or to open iMovie '08.br /br /Otherwise, good upgrade and worth the value.
Sell iPhoto on its own please! August 17, 2008

I got this product for one simple reason: br /iPhoto08 - and I love itbr /br /- The concept of organizing photos in events is a big plus, it definitely make photos a lot more manageable. I love how it auto splits events when you import photos after 3 or 4 days of shooting. You can export you photos to Flickr using Flickr plugins. That is good, coz I don't want to be dependent on MAC gallerybr /br /- It integrates really well with Aperture and Pixelmator (image editing programs). BTW, the image editing that comes with iPhoto is good too, but I just happen to use Pixelmator a lot for some of its advanced features (eg layering)br /br /br /iWeb - If you do not have MAC account, you are not going to use iWeb. I find concept of iWeb pretty silly when you have so may cheap hosting account with gazillion more templates available to you at fraction of cost.br /br /Garageband - I don't use it, but I've seen my friend use it like pro, and looks like he is addicted to it. So I assume its really good.br /br /iMovie and iDVD - I have used it way to less to actually comment, but I tried making couple of clips and they went pretty smooth. Intuitive to use for sure. br /br /I hope they start packaging these software individually to buy. br /(3 stars for making me buy stuff that I will never use)br /(5 stars for making iPhoto)br /(1 star for trying to make this product dependent a lot on Mac account - come on now Apple!)
