Garageband 2
David Pogue, Garageband 2: the missing manual,
Pogue Press, O'Reilly
The junior relation of Logic and Sountrack which comes free with new Macs
is actually a fairly easy piece of software to get making music on.
A little exploration of what happens if you click this or that
soon finds most people getting the hang of the thing.
However, if people have no experience at all with making music
then the relationships of things and what to expect are not so
immediately apparent. And it is those people who will really
benefit from this book, which takes you through all the basics
of how and why and even has some music lessons in the back.
There are also things that are not intuitive and not apparent
from looking at anything. One such thing is sound fonts. You
can load, play, and record them in garageband and this book tells
you how.
It is a handy allround GarageBand reference, and lots of
color illustrations make pinpointing what to do in certain
circumstances an easy task.
