Other promising features that could use just a touch more refinement are GarageBand’s new track-notation view and pitch-shifting functions. As with the original GarageBand, you can export your mixed songs as AIFF files. Regrettably, you still can’t export MIDI files from GarageBand, though Apple’s Logic Express and Logic Audio can open GarageBand files. You can now drag multitrack Stan-dard MIDI Files into the program, where they’re split into separate tracks (bass tracks continue to import an octave too low, however). Unlike other on-screen keyboards I’ve used, this one is responsive and even lets you play chords without an annoying delay.
