    GarageBand is Excellent

    Date: Apr 09 2021
    Summary

    I would recommend GarageBand as an excellent entry-level tool for recording and mixing music yourself.

    Positive

    GarageBand is an excellent tool for recording music and mixing it together. I've used it for many music recordings and it is very user-friendly.

    Negative

    I wish the learning curve was a little bit easier.

    Fantastic Software for Music Makers

    Date: Jun 15 2021
    Summary

    I'm not "pro", but I do know enough to know that GarageBand is a great platform for making music. I even have Grammy-nominated friends who have used to produce some of their songs. Highly recommend!

    Positive

    So. Many. Features. You'd be hard-pressed not to find a way to use Garage Band in your mix. Whether practicing at home, or recording in the studio, GarageBand does it all! And the mobile app is even better for working on the go!

    Negative

    The only con would be it requires an Apple product like a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. However, that is all I own so I have no complaints!

    Used Garageband for years

    Date: Jun 23 2021
    Summary

    Great software to learn how to create music on computers. By far the most user-friendly option for digital music creation.

    Positive

    Free, easy to use, comes with my Macbook, more user-friendly than the competitors, although the competitors have more functions for hardcore musicians. I utilize a Focusrite Scarlett interface to sing and play guitar directly into Garageband, which eliminates background noise.

    Negative

    There's only so much you can do with Garageband, but it's phenomenal for casual music creators.

    Amazing introductory DAW

    Date: Sep 03 2021
    Summary

    If this were available for any system, it'd be the perfect software. I understand Apple wanting their own work, but it's a shame all the same for others.

    Positive

    Simple system with easy plug and play. Plenty of instruments to choose from that sound fantastic. For any beginner music maker, this is a no-brainer.

    Negative

    Only works on Apple machines. The barrier to entry of their systems is more than other hardware.
