Written by a longtime musician and choral conductor, this to-the-point guide uses simple step-by-step instructions, loads of screenshots, and plenty of of time-saving tips to show readers how to transform their Macs into audio production studios using GarageBand 2 (included free on all new Macintosh computers, or for $79 as part of the iLife '05 suite). Budding musicians will learn how to turn their Macs into any of the dozens of included instruments; record with any MIDI keyboard, guitar, or microphone; tune their guitar or bass with GarageBand's new built-in tuner; mix their hits with professional effects and settings; take advantage of GarageBand's eight-track recording capabilities; explore more than a thousand prerecorded music loops (or create their own), and more.
