"GarageBand is
an audio production software for use in Mac OS. This application is not
really intended for professional musicians; instead, GarageBand is
designed to help amateurs produce their own masterpieces easily.
"The recent
version of GarageBand allows anyone to have a good quality internet
radio or podcast. Some artworks can even be added to the podcast such
as changing images per chapter or segment that serves as visual cues to
the audience.
"Want
to sound like a real disc jock[ey]? GarageBand also has a built-in Sound
Enhancer maximizing and improving your vocal range and the sound of
your voice. It can simulate a professional microphone that can give
excellent sound for your Mac.
"Remote interview and conference
recording is also possible with GarageBand 3. With the use of iChat,
GarageBand automatically records whenever a participant speaks. It can also take a
snapshot of the participant speaking when an iSight camera is used." text from
