iLife '09 First Impressions

Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 08:00 AM

GarageBand

I have to be honest. I was hoping for more in Garageband. Let's be honest, the big new feature is the "Learn to Play" feature which they demoed the heck out of at MacWorld, but beyond that they didn't show much. In poking around, I can say that the new version of GarageBand is a bunch more responsive than the prior version, but beyond that the changes must be pretty minor because I don't notice anything that immediately jumps out at me. As someone who recorded a podcast for well over a year then used GarageBand to do the editing, every bit of stability and performance improvement is appreciated.

Unfortunately, Apple seems more interested in turning GarageBand into a revenue stream than into great editor, and the interface is just starting to feel tired already.
