Thank you. I have put this off for awhile not really knowing where to start. In one simple lesson you have given me the confidence to do my first recording. This old dog just learned a new trick. Now I just need to learn how to sing!

This is the clearest, most digestible tutorial online. It follows the natural thought pattern of an average person. I'm truly bewildered by how few people can do this.

[@thereseharvey2110]

This is the most clear tutorial I think I have ever seen about anything. Lol.

[@fercholopez6553]

Thank you! I'm a vocalist in Japan. My friend guitarist and myself have just started our project to record a song with GarageBand. He knows how to use this App but I am a total beginner! I appreciate your sharing! Thank you so much!

[@MaverickxDamra]

I've never used GarageBand before and this tutorial was extremely helpful! Very clear instructions and it's also pretty cool to hear the excitement in your voice when you explain things. Got me looking forward to using GarageBand asap hahah.

[@Amorantasia1]

The moment that I saw you in this video, the holy spirit allowed me to discern that you are a believer of christ. I had no idea if it were true or not, but your aura surely gave me "christian" feeling. I just saw on your website that you are indeed a PASTOR! WOW! You must be a real one because I could feel the spirit of Jesus through the screen! Blessings to you and thank you for posting! I have joined your mailing list!

[@suefauziyah]

Fantastic tutorial. The best I've found on KZbin so far. I will think seriously about signing up for your Master Class. You are clearly a very skilled teacher. Thank you sharing your knowledge with us!!

[@gthv]

Thanks! This video is a great starting point for those who are starting their songwriting journey.

[@evelync177]

Thank you Dean Davis of The Songwriting Studio! I finally found the best video tutorial for GarageBand beginners! Your explanations are very clear, simple, and quick to the point. You make me want to dive right into making music. I've fooled around on GB before, but didn't continue from intimidation of not enough tech know-how. Not anymore thanks to this tutorial! Can't wait to return to GB with the know how. Bravo! :)

[@woodyforest2100]

Thanks! This is easily the best, most direct explanation by example on KZbin. I will delve deeper into GB as time goes on but this is almost all anyone needs for a healthy start! Great job!

[@nigelcarren]

I was clueless when I first tried to go from analogue to digital, and not just that, but trying to do this on Mac for the first time after only just working out how to use Windows XP! 🙈 But this guy was the one who saved my bacon! Thank you again Dean, you are the crowned King of digital hand-holding! Best wishes to you Dean... Long may you reign. 🇬🇧🏆🎶

[@nicolasdurruti]

After 10 years using Cubase for PC, I switched to Mac. This tutorial saved my life, and looks like Garageband has all I need for my simple recordings. Thanks, man.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Love that Nicolas, so glad it was helpful! -Dean

[@janicarina]

I rarely post comments here on YT but this video definitely is worth every minute! You explained it so good! I recently bought my Macbook last week and have no idea about Garageband at all, and I already have a Focusrite Scarlette 2i2 and Audio Technica (I just like to sing in the bathroom) but never used it. So hopefully I'd be able to start recording with the help of this video. 👏🏻

[@tandybare]

really great videos you've got. came by for a refresher. I run my mics from a SM57/Mesa and a condenser/Vox tube amp to a mixer then to the audio interface. aby pedal to split my dry/wet amps and pan each mic in garage band and adjust eq to taste. Love the simplicity of your teaching.

[@ronswansonsdog2833]

This was so helpful! I already knew how to record with microphone and guitar, but I had NO idea about automatic drums and bass and all that you showed here. I have a Yamaha that I can connect to my laptop as midi, so I will try to record one of my originals this week. Thank you! Honestly if I had the money I would FLY toward your masterclass course right now. The way you teach is so easy to understand. I'm grateful you have these free videos here to share your knowledge with us. 💜
