All Mac computers are suitable for recording music but which one you choose depends very much on what you want to do. Whether you're a singer/songwriter, a band member, a dance music producer, a composer, or a music educator, this book will point you in the right direction.

There's a section on setting up your studio and configuring your audio and MIDI interfaces for optimum performance. Step by step projects show you how to record with GarageBand, an easy-to-use package with hundreds of instruments and loops, that's free with every Mac.

And when your masterpiece is complete, learn how to organise your music, create playlists, burn CDs and publish your music on the Net.

Making music is now easier than ever on the Mac.
