I'm determined to learn more about home recording using my Mac. My objective is to experiment with the tools that I have to learn about recording, mixing, and mastering tracks. I learned the guitar by playing along with Beatles songs, and I intend to do the same with this project. Armed with GarageBand, a Samson GTrack USB condensor mic, and the Beatles complete scores, my first effort is to record a song from "A Hard Day's Night" called "You Can't Do That." So far, I have entered all the tracks as Midi using Apple's software instruments. My goal was to get the most realistic sounding tracks that I could using these instruments. I wish I was better at it, but I am to learn and I will post here from time to time as I make progress. Your questions, encouragement and suggestions are welcome! Here's take 1 of "You Can't Do That!"

If this is your first crack at GarageBand, bravo. It's an often looked over DAW that comes with the Mac OS. In fact, if it suits one's needs — there's no need to upgrade software, when you replace the computer you'll be all set.
Great Beatles voice you've got there.

Thanks, Bryan. I've never taken the time to learn about software instruments. That ia my goal for this project, plus to get better at mixing multiple-track recordings up to now, I have only used GarageBand to record me playing guitar and singing.
Familiarization with music software is difficult at first but when you always use it you will be familiar with it quickly. I also have my struggles in using recording software's when I was starting.
