GarageBand is powerful enough to record and mix a professional-sounding music demo, yet simple enough that anyone can use it right out of the box.

Over the years, I've worked with many frustrated musicians who bought their first computers and software specifically to try recording their own music. Unfortunately, instead of finding inspiration and a new creative tool, they got more frustrated because the software was way too complicated.

That was before GarageBand. This software is different. You don't have to be a computer major or audio engineer to record music. You don't even have to be a musician. If you can click a mouse, you can turn your Mac into a basic recording studioit's really that simple.

In this lesson, you'll work with the GarageBand interface and learn how to use the transport controls and navigate in the Timeline. Along the way, you'll learn some of the new GarageBand 2 features, as well as some useful keyboard shortcuts as you get to know the program.
