Recording Music

GarageBand can record three types of tracks. With

electric guitar tracks, you plug an electric guitar into

your Mac and strum away to create your music. You can

modify the sound of your electric guitar with virtual

amps and stompboxes, which mimic the guitar

amplifiers and special-effects pedals that guitarists use

in the real world. By setting up Real Instrument tracks,

you can record any instrument whose tune you can

capture with a microphone. You can also record

software instruments such as a MIDI keyboard.

Music Loops

GarageBand comes with hundreds of predefined

music snippets, or loops, that you can assemble into a

song. You can browse the loops by instrument,

musical genre, and other categories. Loops let you

create a song without recording any music yourself.

You can add a drum loop to give your song a

backbeat, add a guitar riff for a melody, and then layer

loops of a piano and other instruments. There are also

sound effects that let you tailor the mood in your

songs.

With GarageBand, you can create musical

arrangements made up of prerecorded

instrument loops and music you record

yourself. You can also get guitar and piano

instruction using the Learn to Play feature.
