Overview
Whether you’re an accomplished musician or a student,
GarageBand is the most rewarding way to create, perform, and
record your own music. In the only Apple-certified guide to
GarageBand, composer Mary Plummer starts by teaching you the

a song, editing and mixing tracks, adding effects, and distributing
your music files. Using practical step-by-step lessons and original
music, you’ll learn how to record with any guitar,
microphone, or MIDI keyboard; score a QuickTime movie; create an
iPhone ringtone; jam with virtual musicians; and much more. A bonus
