Very very good. Very useful with all sorts of little tips and techniques that I can see myself using and best of all I can go back, easily find the info I want and check it out again.

The one thing that I thought was left out was how to use the retake tracks in the piece I am working on. How to make them is shown but not how to select the particular one I want and get rid of the old one.

I love your tutorial

Thank you for this great instructional video. It made it very easy for me to learn garageband on a step by step basis. There were video lessons that taught me things that I had never even seen demonstrated at the Apple store.

If you make a GarageBand 201, I would love to see a song being built from scratch ie: picking the drum loops to create a whole drum track(pick up, verse, chorus and fills). Loops for bass parts and different options of instruments and where to add them in a song. It would be very helpful for those of us who are songwriters and want to know better how to communicate our songs.

Thanks again.

I feel your company has the best tutorials on the market with more detail and a contextual approach in line with more of a "how to do" instructional product. Your competitors' products tend to be too much of an expose' of what is in the DAW than why and how to use its components. In each of your products I have viewed, your instructors have taken much more time to demonstrate comprehensively these aspects. This is how I learn best.
Finally, what makes your product of the utmost superiority is the quality customer service provided by your staff...
Despite a policy which did not provide for both DVD and download of your tutorials, I was allowed an exception, and was able to arrive at a recording session with the proficiency required to make it a success despite the fact that I had to be in three SE Asian countries prior to my DVD delivery date! You guys are the best!

Very impressed by your products and the quality of the training provided.

Purchase, downloading, and usage is as easy as can be and integrates well with the overall Mac experience.

Description

GarageBand is the audio editing application that comes free with most new Mac computers. But don't let it's price fool you, GarageBand is a full fledged audio recording and editing application!

In 4 entertaining hours of tutorial-videos, watch as Paul Garay shows you how to record and arrange a song in GarageBand. While introducing you to common workflow techniques for music production, Paul actually walk's you through the process of creating a song from the ground-up. You'll learn how to record vocals, edit recorded audio, apply DSP effects, and add automation to provide your song with ambience that evolves over time.

Making music shouldn't be a solitary endeavor, and if you're like most bands, you work with other artists. Paul shows you how to record multiple instruments at one time, and even gets a friend to play along for his track! The bottom line is, you'll see how GarageBand is used in every-day recording situations.

This tutorial provides hard-won recording tips & tricks from a musician with long experience in the recording studio. Using a classic macProVideo.com style of delivery, Paul brings the viewer into the video ... it's like having your best friend teach you how to make songs with GarageBand.
