As a beginner at home recording and new to GarageBand, I am glad I got this tutorial. Even though it is for GB-08, it is 100% applicable to GB-09. The basic interface looks different but the effects are identical. I am puzzled about why the Amp Simulation and Bass Amp features were left out of this tutorial since they were the only two items left on the Effects list. All in all, a great overview and a must have for the new user of GarageBand, especially at this price!!!

Wow, I'm so pleased with the GarageBand tutorials. I started with the Core module, and completed DSP. Now I feel like much of the mystery around digital music production, and have started recording. I'd recommend this to anybody who wants to get started and productive with GarageBand.

This tutorial is clear, well done and very informative. Specially, since no manual or GarageBand books talk about how to use the effects and what the typical settings are. I am definitely will be looking at other titles that I might need training on. Thank you!!

This video gave me exactly what I wanted. As well, I learned a few things I didn't expect.
Good value for the money.
