Create Music and Record Audio using GarageBand

GarageBand is a Mac OS and iOS program that you can use to compose your own music projects. Garageband allows you to

• Arrange and mix music with recordings and loops
• Synthesize instruments such as pianos, guitars, drums, etc.
• Record vocals and musical instruments

Although a music background can help you with composition, you do not need prior knowledge of music theory to use GarageBand.

• Identify the purpose of the project you are working on -- is it an audio bed for a podcast? A voice-over for a radio advertisement?
• Think about the mood that you intend to create with your composition
• Make a list of equipment that you think you will need such as headphones, instruments and microphones
• Familiarize yourself with the equipment by reading the quick start manuals on the manufacturer's website
• Think about how you will export, share, and distribute your music project
