GarageBand
Mac music maker
GarageBand is Apple's music creation software, included free on Mac computers and iOS devices.
It provides virtual instruments, pre-recorded loops, and multitrack recording for amateur musicians and podcasters: I recorded the demo in GarageBand.
The name suggests music made in a garage—unpretentious, DIY, accessible to beginners.
