GarageBand Audio Unit Effects Tutorial

Posted by Hemos on from the learning-more-about-it dept.

LG writes "The wild popularity of Apple's new music program, GarageBand, has surprisingly not yielded much in the way of instructions or guides (the program does not come with a manual, printed or electronic -- just some simple tutorial PDFs). Thus, there are many cool but totally undocumented features in GarageBand. MacJams.com has recently posted a fairly lengthy tutorial on the built-in Audio Unit effects in GarageBand, including things like delay, filters, compressor, reverb, etc. Hopefully similar documentation will start to pop up."

    i only feel sorry for apps like Intuem, which is a native OSX-only app in the DAW sphere... surely they can't be too happy about competing with Apple directly, themselves, on an OSX-native DAW system.

    Pretty soon Apple will jump into the office app arena, and push MS Office off of the platform. Then they'll probably do iGame, and push all the game developers off. Eventually, Apple will be the only company that writes any applications for Macs, and iLife will include all the stuff that Adobe, DigiDesign, Microsoft, Intuem, Opera, and everyone else used to write for the Mac. Only it will be $5000/yr.....
