What You’ll Learn
GarageBand lets you be the composer, the bandleader, and the mixing engineer as you
create your own original projects. You can create projects by adding Apple Loops, by
connecting a musical instrument or microphone to your computer and recording it in a
Real Instrument track, by playing the Software Instruments included with GarageBand,
or using any combination of these methods. You’ll learn how to:
 Create, open, and save projects
 Set project tempo, key, time signature, and length
 Find and preview Apple Loops using the loop browser, then add them to your
projects
 Play and record both Real and Software Instruments
 Arrange Real and Software Instrument regions in the timeline, and edit them in the
editor
 View and edit Software Instrument regions as music notation
 Send a movie from iMovie so you can create a soundtrack in GarageBand, edit the
movie’s audio track, add markers, and send the movie to iDVD
 Create an enhanced podcast or enhanced video podcast in GarageBand and send it
to iWeb, or export it as a podcast episode
What You Need
All you need to create music in GarageBand is a Macintosh computer that meets the
system requirements, as listed in the Read Me file. Optionally, you can use any of the
following equipment to expand your music creation possibilities:
 A microphone to record your voice or any acoustic musical instrument
 Electronic musical instruments, including guitars, basses, and keyboards
 A music keyboard (USB or MIDI) to play and record Software Instruments
 An audio interface to connect musical instruments or microphones
 A pair of speakers or monitors to hear the music you create with greater audio
quality
