Learn GarageBand by Making Music

GarageBand intimidates new users because it has so many buttons. This course fixes that by teaching you the interface through the act of making a song, not memorizing menus. The three-part structure—Anatomy, Recording, Mixing—mirrors what you'll actually do: understand the workspace, capture your ideas, then shape the sound.

You'll work with virtual instruments, record vocals or guitar, explore professional production tools, and dip into EQ and effects. By the end, you'll understand not just which buttons to push, but why you're pushing them. Best approached with good headphones or speakers so you can hear the sonic details the instructor demonstrates.

About this course

Beginners Guide to GarageBand - Let’s Write a Song

In this class, you'll learn everything you need to get started with Garageband for Mac.

I’ve broken all the lessons down into three main sections to keep things as simple as possible:

Anatomy - When you first open up Garageband it can seem very overwhelming with so many buttons and options. But fear not, we’re going to break everything down in this first section! I’m going to guide you around the program so when you come to record you’ll know exactly what to do.
Recording - Now that we know our way around the program it's time for the fun bit: writing and recording our song! We’re going to learn about virtual instruments, recording guitars/vocals, Garageband’s presets and loads of handy production tools.
Mixing and Mastering - We’ve got our song, now let’s make it sound great. In this section, we’ll be talking EQ, compression, plug-ins/effects and an introduction to mastering to complete our song.

By the end of this course, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of Garageband and how to produce music.

I highly recommend listening to this course with headphones/good quality speakers. Some of the audio examples I present are going to be hard to hear through laptop or phone speakers.
