The GarageBand interface appears in full force. We have to select some kind of track, so let’s select the first audio selection-the one that displays a microphone on a stand-and then click Create.

For an overview of the interface, let’s choose Empty Project. And the Empty Project is just that-a trackless project that prompts you to select the kind of track you wish to create (‘Software Instrument’, ‘Digital Audio’, ‘Guitar’, or ‘Drummer’). Songwriter includes six tracks designed for drums, vocal, guitars, bass, and piano. Electronic has nine preconfigured tracks, composed largely of synthesizers.

The Hip-Hop project includes seven tracks, including a classic drum machine, grand piano, string ensemble, and some synthesizer instruments. The Ringtone project bears a single track and exposes GarageBand’s Loops browser (which I’ll explain in a future lesson). Select Amp Collection, and 15 other tracks appear, each using a different amp and collection of effects. When you select Keyboard Collection and click Choose, GarageBand creates a project that includes 15 preconfigured tracks, each with a different keyboard sound-from a Steinway grand piano track to classic electric piano to synthesizer lead. Artist lessons-tunes taught by their original recording artists-are based on a single song and cost $5 each.

With your in-app purchase, you can download all guitar and piano lessons for free. These lessons won’t get you very far, so select Lesson Store (again, available with the in-app purchase) and you’ll see options for downloading additional guitar and piano lessons and individual artist lessons. And the Artist Lessons tab is empty by default. Piano Lessons includes an ‘Intro to Piano’ lesson. Included in Guitar Lessons are ‘Intro to Guitar’ and ‘Chord Trainer’. We’ll look at each of these project types shortly.Ĭhoose Learn to Play and the main portion of the window includes ‘Guitar Lessons’, ‘Piano Lessons’, and ‘Artist Lessons’ tabs. Select New Project and you’ll be presented with seven different kinds of projects: ‘Keyboard Collection’, ‘Amp Collection’, ‘Ringtone’, ‘Hip Hop’, ‘Electronic’, ‘Songwriter’, and ‘Empty Project’. If you’ve paid the $5 in-app purchase fee for the complete set of content, you’ll also see an entry for the Lesson Store.

If you’ve downloaded the free version of the application, you’ll see options for ‘New Project’, ‘Learn to Play’, and ‘Recent’ along the left side of this window. When you first launch GarageBand, it presents you with a project chooser. And if you’d like to try your hand at playing guitar or piano, GarageBand includes introductory lessons for doing just that.

You can edit any compatible audio file-not just music files but recordings you’ve made with your iOS device (of class lectures or business meetings, for example). You can also create your own ringtones from your favorite songs. If you can place blocks end to end, you can use GarageBand’s loops to create a compelling score. With GarageBand you don’t have to be able to play a lick to create musical scores for your movies. So stick around, at least for the next couple of paragraphs, so you can learn what GarageBand can do for you. In fact, the application was designed with nonmusicians (or the minimally musical) in mind. You needn’t be a musician-trained or otherwise-to get some use out of GarageBand. Wait!! Yes, you-you who absent-mindedly clicked the link that led you here realized that you were about to receive instruction regarding Apple’s affordable audio/music application thought “Heck, I’m no musician, I think I’ll read about user permissions instead” and now have your finger poised over the mouse button, trackpad clicker, or iOS screen that will whisk you elsewhere.
