With Apple’s free GarageBand app, you can start making professional‑sounding music right away. Plug in your guitar or mic and choose from a jaw‑dropping array of realistic amps and effects. You can even create astonishingly human‑sounding drum tracks and become inspired by thousands of loops from popular genres like EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, and more.

GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. With an intuitive, modern design, it’s easy to learn, play, record, create, and share your hits worldwide. Now you’re ready to make music like a pro.

Steve Jobs announced GarageBand in his keynote speech at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco on January 6, 2004.

James Pero for Inverse:

The last major update (not counting minor bug fixes) to GarageBand for the Mac was in 2013, but you wouldn’t know it when you fire up Apple’s iconic DAW, short for Digital Audio Workstation. Inside, the interface is as simple as it’s always been — a kind of modular and rectangular consensus of how any modern music production software should look.

But once you start peeling back layers of the GarageBand onion, you begin to see just how much functionality is hidden in that simple form…

GarageBand is not a professional-level DAW. If you’re a pro sound engineer, you don’t need me of all people to tell you that Pro Tools is still, for the foreseeable future, the industry standard.

But if you’re not a pro, GarageBand has a lot going for it, and even if it’s not quite at the level of sophistication you want to record your music, it’s impossible not to admire as a piece of (technically) free software that comes on basically every Mac (and iPhone and iPad if that’s your flavor) you can buy today.

MacDailyNews Take: As Pero discusses in the full article, GarageBand’s Drummer, the virtual session player created using the industry’s top session drummers and recording engineers, is the real star of the show. Drummer features 28 different drummers and three percussionists. From Pop, Rock, EDM, Dubstep, and Hip Hop to Metal, Latin, and Blues, whatever beat your song needs, there’s an incredible selection of musicians to play it.
