iLife ’08 was finally released today. This includes what should have been GarageBand 4, which seems to now be called GarageBand ’08. This was probably done to sync up the version numbers of all the iLife components – GB and iWeb being behind the others.
Let’s see how my wishlist from January panned out:
- Multiple projects open: doesn’t look like it. Not 100% sure, though.
- Automation: YES!
- PPC workaround: Probably never coming. apulSoft is making progress on his ports collection (c’mon, daHornet!). SSL- Get to work on the LMC-1. I need those “In the Air Tonight” drums…
- QC-style effect builder: Rendered moot by SonicBirth going OSS.
- Asteroid: HAHAHAHA!
That said, It’s also got some other nice features listed: Visual EQ and Multi-take recording sound very nice, as does 24-bit recording. (note to self: stock up on external HDs…)
Now to find the $79 for it in the couch cushions…
