GarageBand 2: The Missing Manual provides you with all the know-how you need to produce commercial-quality musical recordings entirely on your own. This revised edition explains how to maximize the program's entire set of tools, including pre-recorded loops, sampled sounds, and live recordings. Easy-to-understand language makes it ideal for serious musicians and novices alike.
Full Description
Now there's no need to assemble a backup band or book time at a professional studio--GarageBand has it covered. And GarageBand 2: The Missing Manual gives you the know-how you need to make it all happen. It's an authoritative, witty guide to constructing digital recordings with GarageBand.
Written by the master of the Missing Manual series, and a musician himself, David Pogue, this top-selling book shows you how to maximize the program's entire set of tools. Pre-recorded loops, sampled sounds, live recordings--they're all explained in easy-to-understand language. It also shows you how to apply professional-sounding effects like reverb or chorusing, and then export the finished product to iTunes, where you can download your work to an iPod, export it as an MP3, or burn it onto CDs.
Now revised to reflect GarageBand's latest features, this book's second edition also addresses how to:
- use GarageBand's eight-track capabilities
- display music notation in real time
- enhance timing and pitch for better quality recordings
- change the tempo and key of recorded instruments
- tune guitars with GarageBand before recording
So if you're chasing a dream or just having fun, GarageBand 2: The Missing Manual is the only resource you need to make the finest musical recordings possible.

Media reviews
"One of the beauties of the Missing Manuals is that there is always something new to discover and the research is quite thorough...I kept finding snippets of information, in the way of Tips or Notes, that would give just that bit extra."
-- Graham K. Rogers, Bangkok Post
"There are a lot of good books, but I keep returning to the Missing Manual series because they are inexpensive, easy to read and full of cool tricks and tips."
-- Bob Brooks, The South Bay Apple Mac User Group
"The entire book is packed full of clear figures and it has handy, highlighted tips and notes on nearly every page. The pictures help thoroughly describe steps for each result to the reader...The book is clearly written, easy to follow and recommended for anyone who uses GarageBand."
-- Kristie Masuda, Spymac.com
"I have never seen a manual for any program, hardware or OS which is anywhere close to this series in its helpfulness to the reader. Anyone other than the well trained techs can find this book valuable."
-- Ray Bowler, Vice President, Des Moines Macintosh User's Group
"I have reviewed quite a number of Missing Manual books and I am always impressed with them. David Pogue is a Mac master and the depth of his knowledge shines through."
