Producing Electronic Chill-Pop Music in GarageBand (MacOS)

In this course I will show you how to create an electronic music track in GarageBand using only the free instruments and plugins provided with the software. All you need to complete this course is access to a Mac computer and the free music production software GarageBand. You don’t have to know how to play an instrument or have any prior music theory knowledge, although that always helps.

In the last few years GarageBand has received some fantastic updates and I believe it is more than possible to create commercial quality music worthy of iTunes, Spotify and selling to advertisers and production companies. In fact, I have created many songs in GarageBand that have ended up on TV commercials, video games and even in international films.

By the end of this course you will understand how to create industry relevant, high quality instrumental music in GarageBand that is in line with modern electronic music trends and sound design techniques.

First we will look at setting up your system and optimising for audio.

Then we will dive into where to find ideas for your song, starting your track and building some rhythmic and melodic elements.

During the next section of the course you will see my workflow creating a song from start to finish, I will leave no stone unturned.

In the arranging and mixing sections of the course you will learn the best practices for song structure, length and how to balance the sounds to create a professional outcome.

Finally, as an added bonus I will show you how you can master your music in GarageBand to get big, warm and punchy tracks. We will also look at some online mastering options and how to export your track in a variety of audio formats.
