   Welcome to GarageBand

   .

   You can play instruments, record your performances and share them with other people. This GarageBand is a smaller version of the main GarageBand application. The actual app on Mac can be seen in one of our other tutorials "How to get started with GarageBand on a Mac". It's a fantastic application if you're a musician. It is not the best application that Apple offers but it is a very nice, very solid free application. Tap on Continue.

6. 6
   We have a guitar amplifier

   .

   This will allow you to plug your guitar in and play through different types of amplifiers that you would like. As you can see here, this GarageBand amplifier is actually a replica of an old Marshall twin amplifier, so you can get that tube sound. It is an artificial tube sound and it's never going to sound quite as good as a real Marshall or Fender but it does sound quite good.

   We've got a microphone here where we can record our audio

   .

   You also can record any type of tapping that you're doing. This is especially good for those of you who are singers, but if you're a musician and you just get a tune in your head that you want to hum and get that idea down, it's a great way to do it.

   Then we have the sampler, which allows you to record a sound or a series of sounds and then replay them

   Those of you in the DJ field will especially appreciate this.
