ditty (recorded on an iPhone while walking a dog—really) to a recording session with a

professional guitarist, to creating a loopy ringtone, you’ll end up learning the shortcuts

and software along the way.

The Methodology

This book emphasizes hands-on training. Each exercise is designed to help you learn the

application inside and out, starting with the basic interface and moving on to advanced

music editing, arranging, and mixing techniques. If you are new to GarageBand, it would

be helpful for you to start at the beginning and progress through each lesson in order,

since each lesson builds on information learned in previous ones. If you are already famil-

iar with GarageBand, you can start with any section and focus on that topic. However,

since GarageBand has been totally redesigned, even the seasoned GarageBand users will

discover new features and insights in the earliest lessons.

The projects you’ll work with were carefully designed as practical exercises. They aren’t

big-budget music recordings to show off the software. These are real-life examples, created

with real people and no additional budget to demonstrate some of the range of projects

you can do yourself with GarageBand.
