Apple ILife
ILife includes a suite of software, including GarageBand and iMovie,
which allows campers to create and design their very own music and
videos.
- GarageBand turns your Mac into an anytime, anywhere recording
studio packed with hundreds of instruments and a recording engineer
or two for good measure. It’s the easiest way to create,
perform and record your own music whether you’re an accomplished
player or just wish you were a rock star. And GarageBand is the
newest member of the iLife family, so you can add your original
music to your slideshows, your DVD menus, burn it to CDs or score
your iMovie projects.
- iMovie - One of those rare applications that actually changes
people’s lives, iMovie has single-handedly made cinematographers
out of parents, grandparents, students, teachers, small business
owners and many other people just like you who, before iMovie,
never imagined themselves producing a movie. Let alone half a
dozen or more.
