as usual really easy to follow tutorials at a really great price especially if you buy a package. I wish I'd discovered them earlier as it would have saved me hours of frustration and bad language! keep it up the good work not the bad language.

Description

GarageBand comes free with every Mac computer, and it's an extremely fun program to use. With a bit of time spent learning the app, GarageBand makes music production easy ... If you have an idea for a song, you can make pro-sounding songs!

Of course, it always helps to have an expert show you the way! Watch as vetran audio producer, educator, and Apple presenter Paul Garay shows you the ins and outs of making music in GarageBand. You'll learn several important production techniques, and along the way, you'll pick up important tips and tricks that will make music production not only rewarding, but also fun!

In 96 separate videos, this program shows you how to:

  • Set up GarageBand and your audio interface so you can record guitars, instruments, and vocals.
  • Edit and arrange audio to create a song
  • Use GarageBand's built-in audio tools to clean up off-tune performances
  • Use DSP effects to mix, master, and creatively effect your songs
  • Bounce out finished songs for publishing on the internet and on optical discs
