* ReWire support

You can use GarageBand with applications supporting ReWire functionality. You can play the ReWire application in a GarageBand song, and export the combined mix to iTunes.

* Rearrange tracks

You can move tracks up or down to rearrange the order of tracks in a song.

* Duplicate tracks

You can duplicate a track, which creates a new, empty track with the same instrument, effects, and input settings.

* Rename tracks in the track header

You can rename a track by clicking its name in the track header and typing a new name.

* Index loops in multiple locations

You can add loops stored in different locations, including external hard disks or disk partitions, to the loop library. GarageBand asks if you want to copy the file to the loop library, or index it in its current location Loops on removable media, such as CDs or DVDs, are automatically copied and indexed.

* Convert Software Instrument loops to Real Instrument loops in the timeline

You can convert a Software Instrument loop to a Real Instrument loop when you drag it to the timeline, allowing you to use more loops and effects in your song.

* Fix the timing of individual Software Instrument notes in the track editor

When you select notes in the track editor, you can click the Fix Timing button to fix the timing of the selected notes or the entire selected region.

* Add AAC audio files to a song

You can add AAC format audio files (except protected AAC files) to a song by dragging them into the timeline. As with MP3 files, AAC files are converted to AIFF file for use within your song.

* New "Track Echo" instrument effect

A new "Track Echo" instrument effect is now available in the Effect menu of the Track Info window. Unlike the default instrument echo, which applies the same echo settings to the entire song, the "Track Echo" effect behaves like other track effects, so different echo settings can be used on different instruments.

* Save a song as an archive

You can save a song as an archive, so that any loops the song uses are saved with the song, improving portability of GarageBand songs between computers.

* Close the song without quitting GarageBand

You can now close the open song without quitting GarageBand.
