Thursday, June 10, 2004

 Originally introduced at Macworld Expo in January as a new part of the 49.00 iLife '04, GarageBand is a revolutionary new music application that turns a Macintosh into a professional-quality musical instrument and recording studio for musicians and aspiring musicians alike.

Steve Jobs, introducing iLife '04 said “... GarageBand does for music creation what iMovie did for video and iPhoto did for photos — makes the creative process easy and affordable for everyone. Over half of U.S. households have at least one member who currently plays a musical instrument, so we think GarageBand is going to find a very receptive audience.”
