  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Mar-07-2009

  • The negatives made on this book are grossly unfair
  • Why? Myself I don't expect to get the full contents of a large portion of a 4 year college degree in a $15 book. Some people seem to want everything and might need a truck to carry the book after...

  Power Tools for GarageBand: Creating Music with Audio Recording, MIDI Sequencing, and Loops

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Apr-08-2008

  • This is the manual that should have come with Garageband
  • Clear, concise, and informative. Lots of useful examples. Plus, anybody who would include a discussion of hocketing automatically gets 5 stars.
