Keep It Simple With GarageBand features 10 easy music-making projects written specially for beginner and amateur musicians. Each project is a step towards the completion of a short tune and voice over-track entitled, appropriately enough, Keep It Simple With GarageBand.

Anybody can do these projects. You start by constructing a rhythm section and adding a funky horn section, using Apple loops. After discovering a few neat editing tricks you'll learn how to use your computer keyboard as a musical typewriter and to add lush Hollywood-style strings to your creation.

Finally, you record a simple voice-over track. And after some fun, experimenting your voice and discovering some of the brilliant effects available in GarageBand, you'll be initiated into the secrets of mixing: balancing the individual tracks, adding reverb and exporting the finished productions to iTunes.

A finished version of each project is available for download for comparison. Each chapter finishes with an assignment and further on-topic reading.

Author Keith Gemmell is a UK music technology lecturer, composer, arranger and MIDI file writer. He publishes educational sheet music and audio products for his website.
