Apple announced the update of GarageBand, as part of their iLife suite.
GarageBand ‘11 includes two new ways to fix or change the timing of your recordings. Flex Time – lets you move, stretch or shorten individual notes by clicking on just the part of the audio waveform you want to change, without affecting the rest of the recording. With Groove Matching, you can select any track as the “Groove Track” and all other tracks will instantly match its rhythmic feel. GarageBand ’11 adds seven authentic-sounding new guitar amps, five fun new stompbox effects, and 22 new Basic Lessons for piano and guitar. The new “How did I Play?” feature listens while you play along with any lesson, highlights mistakes and tracks your progress to help you become a better musician.
Apple created a “visual masterpiece” yet again – The interface looks more polished, more clean, and it gives you the “look and feel” of a professional studio recording software. All in all, it’s a perfect piece of software for newcomers and professionals too.
It was created with one purpose in mind, and it’s doing it’s job – Help people quickly lay down ideas, and extend them even more if you choose so.
