Just like Garage Band, iMovie has many powerful features available if you look a little closer. Here are some tutorials to get you started. It’s a good idea to think of software as a tool, sometimes even an old screwdriver, or a cheap pen can have it’s uses, you never know when that piece of software may have just the look or sound you are after?

Garage Band comes as part of the Apple iLife ‘08 standard package and ships with all new Macs. It is far from just a fun programme to mess around with though. If you look a little deeper you will see there are many exciting features only available on much more expensive software applications.
Here are a few links to some software tutorials to get you going and get you thinking about audio possibilities. Things like the wii remote offer some fascinating new ways of making music.
