Page 3 of 3 As for GarageBand '09, the major change is the provision of piano and guitar lessons with video synchronised to animated instruments and the music notation to help beginners learn to play piano or guitar. More advanced musicians can purchase add-on Artist Lessons from performers such as John Fogerty, Ben Folds, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, and Sting.Featured Whitepaper

Other new features include new guitar amplifier and stompbox effects, and Magic GarageBand Jam - a full-screen virtual backing band to support your vocal or instrumental performance. Improvements to iWeb '09 include additional web widgets (including widgets to add photos directly from an iSight camera, insert YouTube videos, or incorporate RSS feeds), and a built-in FTP client to simplify publishing to servers other then MobileMe. Also new is the ability to automatically notify Facebook friends when an iWeb site is updated. iLife '09 still included iDVD, though there are no apparent changes to the DVD creation program. iLife '09 costs $A129/$US79, and will be available later this month. As usual, it will be included with new Mac systems. Anyone purchasing a Mac on or after January 6 that did not come with the latest version can obtain an update for $A16.95/$US9.95 shipping and handling. |
