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).

    There's an insightful comment in here somewhere about the accessibility of Stravinsky's music and one's ability to find the joke but....
