2 GarageBand at a Glance
This chapter gives you a tour of the GarageBand window.
You will learn the names and locations of controls, to
help orient you for the following tutorials.
It’s a good idea to take a look at these pages even if you don’t plan to complete the
tutorials, because knowing the names and functions of the GarageBand controls will
make it easier to find answers to your questions in GarageBand help. You may find the
descriptions here enough to get you started working on your own projects.
The GarageBand window includes the timeline, the loop browser, the editor, and the
Track Info pane. You record instrument, arrange regions, and mix your projects in the
timeline, find and preview loops in the loop browser, and change instrument, effects,
and input settings in the Track Info pane.
