If you are any kind of artiste, you have probably heard of Apple's Gargeband. It is workstation software that allows you to simply, merge, master and post produce melodies without needing any natural musical competen or aptitude. One of the finest things about GarageBand is that it is a complete platform for composing and sharing music. All you need is the time and will to understand the software - no advanced degrees needed.
If you mix your own loops, or even easier, employ pre recorded GarageBand loops you can experiment, mix, re-record and master a dazzling selection of sounds, beats and special effects. All it takes to create pro quality tunes is a workstation.
Using loops in this way, you can weave tunes by adding to and building on your current content, if you want to know the fundamental process, here are some simple steps to get started
Set up Garageband on your system. You can download a free edition or if you want to make some more advanced tunes, you can get the full edition of the software, either on-line or at many retail stores
Once it is installed on your computer, access the application (GargeBand) and click on the tab on the bottom right hand side (it looks like an eyeball). Clicking this allows you to select 'Loop View"
