2 GarageBand at a Glance
“GarageBand at a Glance” introduces you to the features
and controls in the GarageBand windows. You use these
controls to create your projects in GarageBand.
Take a look at these pages even if you don’t plan to complete the lessons in
GarageBand Getting Started, because knowing the names and functions of the
GarageBand controls will make it easier to find answers to your questions in
GarageBand Help.
The pages that follow introduce you to the GarageBand window—including the
timeline, the loop browser, and the editor—and to the Track Info pane. You record Real
and Software Instruments and arrange and mix your projects in the timeline, find and
preview loops in the loop browser, and change track instrument, effects, and input
settings in the Track Info pane.
