Overview
The advent of Garageband and the widespread uptake of Apple devices in the 21st century has provided the opportunity for many people to explore music composition & recording than was ever possible in the past. Whilst GarageBand is not the top of the line DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) it is still a very capable tool with many of the artists and songwriters using GarageBand for the initial creation of their songs before moving to more advanced programs like the Logic. Handily the set up & methodology to Logic (the most common DAW for professionals) is not like learning a new language but more like adding more nuances after using GarageBand.
