1. Recording Guitar In Garageband

You can open the Sound Library from the Sound browser, the Live Loops browser and from instruments that have additional sounds available for download. To open the Sound Library, your device must be connected to the Internet.

Open the Sound Library

After you install GarageBand on your computer, additional content—including patches, drummers, and Apple Loops—may be available. Some additional content may be needed to perform certain tasks. In these instances, a dialog appears, informing you that additional content is needed, and asking if you want to download it. GarageBand includes a bunch of handy effects presets. You can expand the list of presets by buying the Jam Packs, of course, or go can tweak up your own. It's not a lot of effort to twiddle your own presets, but it seems a little strange that there's no easy way of sharing these with other users. I did try using the presets when recording guitar, but have moved towards just using Garage Band like a multitrack recorder and getting the sound I want out of an amp and then micing it in with an SM57. It just feels better and more natural that way.
