Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: Well written and easy to understand (unlike many books on home recording). It's broken down into step by step tutorials which, if followed, will teach you all the basics as you progress through the book. Highly recommended.

Summary: Recommended : a very good book
Comment: Having been given an Apple iMac complete with the GarageBand application, I was intrigued but at the same time a little apprehensive about trying it out. However, GarageBand 3 by Mary Plummer made it all so easy.
I decided to first do all the lessons; the instructions are clear and easy to follow, so it was a pleasure. I did sometimes take longer than the estimated time to do each lesson.
On completion, I had gained a comprehensive knowledge of all that this wonderfully creative program can accomplish, and was even enlightened as to what a podcast is. And if I forget again, the book is always at hand to remind me. I would have liked some comments about the advantages, if any, of other programs such as Logic.
My main interest with GarageBand lies in composing music, and this book introduced me to its many fascinating possibilities. So thank you, Mary Plummer. I must finish this now, to get back to Garageband....

Summary: Had to return it!
Comment: I bought it so I could learn Garage Band 08 and thought initially that a lot of the information would be pertinent to the newest version of Garage Band 08. There are probably a lot of similarities and many aspects of the program that this book could help with, but when all is said and done, it is not the newest version that it teaches and knowing how eager I have been, in trying to learn about this program, I "jumped the gun", sort of speak. That is the thing about newer today, older tomorrow, you have to be careful only to buy the updated version and not the old one. I did not mean any disrespect by giving it 3 Stars for in reality I will never know how good of a book it is. I only wrote the review to point out that the new Garage Band 08 requires the updated book to go along with it. Happy Holidays and God Bless America!

Summary: Thank You Ms Plummer
Comment: I did not know what GarageBand was until I explored the icons on my new MAC. Needed help here. Logged on to Amazon.com and found Mary Plummer's book GARAGEBAND 3. I am learning the program by doing the lessons in the book, supplemented with CD lesson files. I am truly excited because it has opened a new world--creating music tracks. Each lesson is a building block, and Ms Plummer's instructions are easy to understand and follow.

Summary: Great training aid
Comment: An excellent training program for Macintosh's Garageband home recording studio for beginners. Easy to follow and use, but quite comprehensive at the same time. I wouldn't expect less from Apple.
