Just upgraded to iLife '08 which has GarageBand 4, and damn, it's really amazing how much new stuff there is. What they've added makes GB a really great workstation: there are no MIDI tracks, only audio and software instruments, but damn you get virtually unlimited number of them, as much as your Mac can chew.
What's new in version 4:
- 24 bit audio
- loop record overdubbing
- visual EQ with spectrum analyzer per track (!)
- 4 plug-in effects per track (!!)
- software synths and effects plug-in parameter automation
- new and updated built-in plug-ins
- auto normalize for project audio file export
- built-in CD burning
All this for $79 or free with all new Macs. I am going to cry now, what a wonderful world we're living in
Artemiy.
