New in GarageBand ’08 is a feature called Magic GarageBand (Figure 16-7). Magic Garage-<br />

Band allows you to create a virtual backing band that you can play along with. With Magic<br />

GarageBand, you choose from a preselected number of musical styles and then assign the instruments<br />

and styles played by each virtual member. Then you can add your own music in the mix<br />

and record the whole thing.<br />

Once you have finished with a song in GarageBand, GarageBand will allow you to export it<br />

to a number of different audio formats. Normally you would export it to iTunes, where you can<br />

use iTunes to play it back and then burn a selection of your songs to CD.<br />

CHAPTER 16 iLIFE ‘08 279<br />

There’s more to creating a DVD than just having a great movie. You need menus and transitions<br />

and chapters and special features. iDVD ’08 gives you the power to create amazing, professionallooking<br />

DVDs with very little effort. iDVD ’08 (Figure 16-8) doesn’t add any significant new<br />

features from a user perspective other than a few new themes. However, on the back end, iDVD<br />

has enhanced performance and the video quality of the final DVD, both welcome improvements.
