 * The History of Garageband and What It Is.....**

Garageband is an application where one can create songs using loops or record your own sounds via microphone. It was created by Apple Computers for the (at the time) new operating system, Mac OS X. Garageband was announced in 2004 during the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, during Steve Jobs' Keynote presentation. Garageband 2 was introduced in 2005. It shipped January 2005. Major new features included the abilities to view and edit music in Musical Notation form, to record up to 8 tracks at once, to fixing and pitch of recordings, to automate track pan position, master, and master pitch, to transpose both audio and MIDI and to import MIDI files. Garageband 3 (announced at 2006's Macworld Conference & Expo) includes a 'podcast studio', including the ability to use more than 200 effects and jingles, and integration with iChat for interviews.
