What is new in GB '09 (aside from lessons)?

Question

Any big or small changes, aside from the focus on lessons (and some additional amp sims), that anyone's noticed?

Answer 1

Thanks iSteveus and David. It sounds like while there is no big leap forward, there are a few minor improvements.

I was very happy and surprised to discover that the midi note editor has been improved considerably. You can now quickly select all the notes of a particular pitch and alter their velocity, duration, and pitch all at once. This is something I could never seem to be able to do in previous versions.
That does sound helpful.
In addition, the entire program has had a GUI upgrade. I find it all much more professional looking and easier on the eyes. The pop-up menus (now black with white lettering) are fantastic and hopefully a sign of what will come with Snow Leopard.
Looking forward to checking it out.
I also find that the entire program works better and chokes less on my G5. The volume curves, movement of sections, etc., all work better. I am not sure, but there seem to be more choices for automation curves than before.
Interesting about the G5 (and that it's not only intel machines that benefit).
I am still having some midi sync issues and sound issues through my FA-66 module, but some of these problems existed before upgrading to Garageband '09. I am watching those to see what the story is...
Thanks again.
