Record your own original music
GarageBand gives you two ways to record your own original music:
- You can connect musical instruments, including guitars and keyboards, or microphones to your computer and record them in Real Instrument tracks. When you record a guitar in a Real Instrument track, GarageBand simulates the sound of a guitar amplifier.
- You can play and record the Software Instruments built into GarageBand in Software Instrument tracks, using Musical Typing, by playing the onscreen music keyboard, or by connecting a MIDI-compatible music keyboard to your computer. GarageBand gives you a wide selection of Software Instruments, including drums, guitars, pianos, organs, and synthesizers.
You record Real and Software Instruments in tracks in the GarageBand timeline. As you record, a region is created in the track with the music you play. You can move, copy, and make other changes to regions in the timeline.
