GarageBand allows you to be, or become, a Producer !
You only need to feel like playing.

With this manual you will create an original song from scratch touching on all the production stages:
from pre-production to drafting the piece
from the Vocal Line to Intonation
from Recording to Editing
from Midi to Sound Design
from Mix to Mastering… to the Release

Illustrated steps will show you in a PRACTICAL way, hands on the mouse, how to produce a song from scratch, and you will also be taught how to avoid the most common mistakes.
You’ll learn to produce by producing!

Do you know the demo buttons, the demos of keyboards sold in music stores or supermarkets?
I always press them to understand what I can achieve with that particular model. They let you hear wonderful performances of harmonious sounds and rhythms. It’s a pity that once I get home, the keyboard remains a Cinderella dressed in rags, with completely aseptic rhythms and sounds, making me feel partly inadequate, and partly fooled!
I don’t want to “catch” you, or make you feel fooled!
Over the next pages, we’re going to create a song together, from the beginning to the end, with hundreds of illustrated steps.
I’m going to walk you through it with simple words, easily, the way I wish someone would have explained it to me…

GarageBand is music!
Music can be a hobby.
Music can be a toy.
Music can be a work…
And with GarageBand
Music can be you too !!!
