In this video I'm teaching you the basic steps of making a song. We're using Garageband for this which is very user friendly and... FREE!

We're going over the very basic steps like:
- setting up your new track
- setting tempo, time signature and key (+ how to find the key of your song)
- picking a new instrument
- basic settings of a garageband instrument
- basic quantization
- hidden settings (control any note within your MIDI instrument recording AKA the piano roll)
- basic volume control
- trimming & splitting a track
