Very good guide

I've been spending most of the last two weekends learning all I can about GarageBand. Out of the three books I'm using, I like this one the best. Mary Plummer includes very useful tutorials that are a collection of techniques you can apply to any GB song. With the CD included with the book, you can easily copy the tutorials onto your computer and work at your pace. I especially appreciate the techniques she shares, e.g. doubling a track with mixed instruments, creating a turnaround with drum tracks, working with volume and pan, and even customizing the loops browser. And for you real instrument players, she covers how to get your music into GB and what to do with it once it's there. For serious GB users, this book is a must.
