Record live instruments

Garageband allows you to record live instruments using your Mac or iOS device’s built-in microphone or an external microphone.

To record a live instrument, simply connect your microphone to your device and then select the “New Track” button. This will bring up a window where you can select the type of instrument you want to record and set the input level.

 

Share your music

Garageband allows you to share your music with others in a variety of ways. You can export your music as an audio file, share it to social media, or even send it to other apps like Logic Pro X.

To share your music, simply select the “Share” button and choose the desired option.

 

Take advantage of the Garageband’s built-in lessons

Garageband comes with a variety of built-in lessons that can help you learn how to play different instruments, as well as how to use the software itself. These lessons can be found under the “Learn to Play” tab and can be a great resource for beginners.
