Whether you are musicians or musical novices, Apple's GarageBand software has everything you require to produce commercial-quality demo recordings on your own.
This Missing Manual gives you the know-how you need to use the program's tools- prerecorded loops, sampled sounds, live recordings- in any way you see fit. From there you can apply professional-sounding effects like reverb or chorusing, and then export the finished product to iTunes, where you can download their work to an iPod, export it as an MP3, or burn it onto CDs.
Thoroughly entertaining and objective, this book's new edition shows how to use GarageBand's eight-track capabilities, how to display music notation in real time, enhance timing and pitch for better quality recordings, and change the tempo & key of recorded instruments at any time. Our guide even shows readers how to tune guitars with GarageBand before recording!
