Live again, day two, the last entry!
Abstract:
A MACWORLD FINALE, LIVE
AGAIN (DAY TWO)... When I saw
the roll out of "Garage Band" on a pretty poor web stream I said, "yea,
whatever." I just saw the demo at the Apple booth. I take what I said back,
this is a killer
app!
It is just for musicians, if you want to publish
slide shows or do movies and want some background music, YOU NEED GARAGE BAND!
I see this as a great way of putting a little spice into in-house productions or
training material without adding "canned music" royalty free music or paying big
bucks to ASCAP. The loops built into this product allow the creation of tons of
light music that won't sound like muzak.
The
new iPhoto is a greatly improved product. The old version required work arounds
like using programs like "iPhoto Library
Manager."
The whole iApp package has some
very good upgrades and is clearly worth a lot more than the almost $50 price
tag.
