- Description:
  > More than 17 years after \[a fresh-faced John Mayer helped to launch it at Macworld\](https://www.musicradar.com/news/garageband-is-15-years-old-and-you-can-see-a-young-john-mayer-revealing-it-for-the-first-time), GarageBand has matured into a pretty capable DAW. Sure, it’s great for beginners, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find some rather more advanced features, too.
  > 
  > Non-musicians can simply sequence the supplied audio loops, but a decent collection of software instruments comes supplied, too, as does multitrack recording functionality and a good selection of virtual guitar amps and stompboxes. Drummer is great for automatically generating beats, Smart Controls make for more pleasant editing of sounds, and you can even use the Logic Remote iPad app to control the software.
  > 
  > As a further bonus, projects are compatible with Logic Pro, GarageBand’s big brother, and also with the iOS version of GarageBand, giving you a mobile option. And the fact that it’s free means that every Mac owner should try it.
