Just as Microsoft Office has the
tools you need to create an outline, a budget or a presentation, iLife offers all of the
tools you need for your work outside the office. When you’re ready to kick back and
create something spectacular, there’s no better resource than iLife.
GarageBand, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD you
have five superb tools in your creative hands. Individually, they’re peerless. And as
a matched set, iLife has no equal, providing a suite of tightly integrated tools that work
together seamlessly and place no limits on your talent or creativity. Consider: Using
GarageBand, you create a new song (and make it sound as if you’ve been doing it all
your life). Saved, your song automatically appears in iTunes. Where you can easily access
it when you need music to accompany your iPhoto slide shows, to underscore the action in
your iMovie projects or to play behind the titles of your latest iDVD project. Tightly
integrated tools you already know how to use. That’s iLife. |

Introducing GarageB and Make
your own Music.
|
Whether you really are a musician or simply want to
feel like a rock star, GarageBand
brings drag-and-drop simplicity to music creation. What a performance. GarageBand comes
with more than 1,000 of them, all professionally played on more than 30 high-quality
instruments. Use the loops to create original music. Or to back your own performances. You
simply drag them — drum loops, bass loops, keyboard loops — into the timeline.
GarageBand takes care of the rest, matching speed and keys to make your song sound pitch
perfect. When you’ve finished, GarageBand saves your music as a CD-quality AIFF file
and it automatically appears in iTunes.
