Book description

Okay, the online help and PDF manuals do a fine job of describing how things work but they don't tell you that GarageBand's software instruments are the same powerful synthesisers as those found in Logic Pro, only with simplified controls. Once you discover their true potential, there are some powerful editing features just begging to be used. That's the kind of insider knowledge revealed in this book along with tips on buying hardware for your personal studio, Apple loops, audio and MIDI, effects, production, mixing and mastering.

Some dismiss GarageBand as a toy. But that's just plain silly. Yes it does lack the high-end features of some of the more expensive recording software programs. But rest assured, there are plenty of useful work-arounds and tips and tricks to be had. For those in the know, GarageBand provides all the power tools needed to produce stunning, CD-quality audio projects. Read this book and all will be revealed.
