GarageBand is a digital music production program available exclusively for the Mac OS X operating system. Users can input live instruments or use virtual instruments and loops included with the software. They can then edit and mix recordings together to create original compositions. New features were released with GarageBand 09, which was unveiled at MacWorld 2009. The new features include lessons on guitar and piano that allow the user to learn from the actual artist themselves.GDGT: Live MacWorld 2009 Keynote Coverage (January 6, 2009)
