1.3. Opening GarageBand

 <  Day Day Up  >  

For this guided tour, you need a GarageBand file that's already been completed. You can get yourself one by downloading the GarageBand Examples CD, a "virtual disc" available for free at www.missingmanuals.com. (In fact, the rest of this book assumes that you've already done so. For details, see the box on Section 1.5.)

Once you've downloaded the GarageBand Examples disk, open the Chapter 1 folder and double-click the icon called "01 ”Garage Door." After a moment, GarageBand opens and presents you with the simulated studio shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. GarageBand isn't just the only iLife program that doesn't start with i; it's also the only program made of "wood." (You can move the window around by dragging any of the wood or "brushed aluminum" surfaces.) At first, the program tends to cower in a smallish window. Click the Zoom button to make it fill your screen ”much better!
