GarageBand 3 Hits The Streets
I’m sure you’ve heard that Apple’s GarageSpin 3, er, GarageBand 3 is out. Many of the new features involve beefing up podcasting options. Some of the new features include:
-
Insert images/photos
-
More sound effects, instruments
-
Speech enhancer
-
iWeb (web publishing)
-
iChat (conference recording)
-
iMovie scoring (sync audio to video clips)
-
Enhanced media browsing
Pretty cool. Granted, if all you’re interested in is creating music, there isn’t a big difference from GarageBand 2. Podcasters, however, will kill for this app. Unfortunately for GB2 users, no upgrade price is available; you’ll have to buy the entire iLife ‘06 suite.
Some nice first impressions:

I’d say the video scoring feature is BIG — in the educational market, bigger than the podcasting thing. And it’s all the more reason to gripe that Ableton Live doesn’t have a video window. (The excellent ReWire-based ReVision app on the Mac from Granted Software, now part of plasq.com, is broken under current OSes.)
Still waiting for my copy. ;-)
