Getting started with GarageBand

Wait!! Yes, you?the person who absent-mindedly clicked on the link that led you here, realized that you were about to receive instruction regarding Apple?s affordable audio/music application, thought ?Heck, I?m no musician, I think I?ll read about user permissions instead,? and has his or her finger poised over the mouse button, trackpad clicker, or iOS screen that will whisk you elsewhere. You needn?t be a musician?trained or otherwise?to get some use out of GarageBand. In fact, the application was designed with non-musicians (or the minimally musical) in mind. And best of all, there?s no talent required. So stick around, at least for the next couple of paragraphs so you can learn exactly what GarageBand can do for you.

With GarageBand you, as non-musician, can create musical scores for your movies without being able to play a lick. If you can place blocks end to end, you can create a compelling score using GarageBand?s loops. You can also create your own ringtones from your favorite songs. You can edit any compatible audio file?not just music files but recordings you?ve made with your iOS device (class lectures of business meetings, for example). And if you?d like to try you hand at playing guitar or piano, GarageBand includes introductory lessons for doing just that.

And if you are a musician, GarageBand offers much more. It can serve as a musical sketchpad for writing tunes. You can use its built-in stomp box effects and amps to wail away on your guitar at 3 AM without waking your neighbors. The application?s Drummer feature means your tracks can sound more lifelike. And with its software instruments you have the kind of synthesizer palette that once cost thousands of dollars to replicate.

Let?s begin our look at how these features shake out and how you can put GarageBand to the best use.
