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!

[@devanmurugan4034]

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.

[@yogeshwarihozumi8980]

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!

[@fercholopez6553]

One of the best tutorials I've seen. Thanks man.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

So glad it was helpful Fercho! -Dean

[@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.

[@mmichy]

Thank you so much for posting this - I am going through a really painful breakup and I am committed to recording some music (a goal of mine for years) to help me spend my time more wisely. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your expertise :)

[@porelmofle]

Man, thank you for making our lives more possible!!!

[@chrismartin2506]

Have watched a lot of videos on garageband and by far this is the easiest to understand, just starting music again after some years, I'm really excited, so much to write about.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

So glad it was helpful Chris! ... and by the way, is that your dirt bike in your profile pic? -Dean

[@mpumibikitsha6891]

Love that, so glad it was helpful!

[@jintarang]

I really want this person to get more than a million subs, I don't know what is taking so long. Love you, you are doing a great job. Keep it up.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

[@rudymans.1858]

I agree

[@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!!

[@mouhiazeck]

Wow, the comments really weren't lying about how good this tutorial is. You made it super clear and exciting and I couldn't thank you enough :)

[@johnparker2636]

This is great- just enough to get you up and running, not too much to be confusing - thank you

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Glad the content has been helpful and thanks so much for sharing, that really does mean a lot (& helps)! -Dean

[@coachstefanie]

If I had just found Garageband earlier and your video. This is amazing and allows SO much creative quick play around!! Thank you for empowering people to have a creative outlet.

[@RhymeChaser-f8v]

You have a great voice.

[@abeoommen5705]

Dean, Great tutorial. You know how to explain things in way that anyone will understand. Thanks much!

[@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! :)

[@peteandpuy]

Long time GB user on the iPad. I needed this. It's similar but different. I was lost when I first starting using it. Thank you.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Glad it was helpful Pete!

[@gthv]

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

[@dennis.daniel]

This was probably the best and easiest to understand Tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks man! Something tells me you're a fellow christian :D

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

So glad it was helpful Dennis! And yes I am ha! -Dean

[@michaelb.42112]

It's 2022 and I'm 53. It's about time I learn this ! I am the most UN-Techy person. VCR's and Blu Ray's are my speed.

[@Ay_Lyssa_Here]

6:23 has me crying of amazement 😂

[@NathanJacksonEsq]

This was great!! I looked at a few other intros first, and this was BY FAR the most accessible and useful to a complete beginner like me- you have a new subscriber!

[@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!

[@BB-qs1ty]

I like this guy. I turned the video on for like a second and my first thought was, that’s a chill dude.

[@zeljkoara6482]

that is no one on the best THAT IS THE BEST PROGRAM FOR RECORDING

[@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!

[@JansonTran]

This video is perfect for beginners like me. Thank you so much!

[@alyciamarriott9506]

This is the best garage band tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you for all your help!

[@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. 🇬🇧🏆🎶

[@R3d.raptor]

THANK YOU. My orchestra teacher is making me make a song in garage band for our concert so thank you so much

[@bluemorphorising]

Thank you so much! I feel excited and not so intimidated to start learning. I like how you broke it up into an easy to digest lesson!

[@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. 👏🏻

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Love that Janica, so glad it was helpful and go have some fun with it now! -Dean

[@1yazsh4life]

loving it big time. simplified but make me so excited to the max.

[@martintrosky7952]

Man, thank you so much for such clarity. I am super excited to start my first garage band recording at age 50:)

[@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

[@bentenpeterson]

I’m just getting back into playing music and have a Mac. 5 minutes in & I’m impressed. New Subscriber and thank you. 🙏

[@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.

[@妙语心法-SpiritualUplift]

Thanks Dean! Very clear and helpful instructions!👍

[@mariapaganmusic]

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. 💜

[@vanbeurdenbluesandguitars1958]

Hi Dean, great video, thanks a million! I should have watched this first before spending hours trying to figure it out..🙂 I'm definitly going to watch the other videos. Cheer, from the Netherlands, Rob

[@lovenote1336]

[@elenawaltermusic]

Thank you, it was very helpful. Just want to notice you can record a real piano directly to GB without audio interface. I do it with my Mac computer and Casio digital piano. Before I decide to go to the masterclass. Could you please clarify, if I can do mastering in GB? Thank you!
