Backbeat Books' newest title, for release around mid-month, is Power Tools for GarageBand, exploring the creative and technical aspects of Apple's GarageBand.
Featuring thousands of loops and over 50
instruments, effects, and virtual guitar amps, the GarageBand
program gives musicians of all levels an affordable tool with which to
perform, record, and create music.
Going straight into the nitty-gritty of this
comprehensive program, Power Tools for Garageband teaches new and experienced users alike how to record vocals and instruments,
create MIDI sequences, work with Apple Loops, and customize software
instruments. From concept to finished mix, it explains the same
engineering and production techniques that seasoned professionals use.
Readers can apply these lessons immediately with the included CD-ROM,
which contains demo versions of many of the tools discussed (in both Mac
OS and Windows versions). As a bonus, the CD-ROM also offers over 150
megabytes of Apple Loops and 10 ready-to-use plug-in effects and
synthesizers to get music manipulators' creative juices flowing and their
music looping.
