Garageband can be used to record or edit your own podcasts. The app supports adding multiple tracks and has many editing options.

Get instrumental. First and foremost, GarageBand offers iOS device owners a huge range of virtual instruments to choose from. You might have no music room with real instruments at your school, but with GarageBand, children can get a taste of what it feels like to play the piano, guitar, and even the drums!

Go play

Go play. You can tinker away on instruments as much as you like, then once it's time to record, you can capture your track's input from the same interface. Just touch the record button at the top of the screen!

Put it all together. After recording a track from one instrument, GarageBand lets users add another in, and another, and another, until you've created a multi-track song featuring a range of different instruments. The whole process, from start to finish, couldn't make it easier to pen and record a song.

Put it all together

No matter who you are, it's easy to make some music with GarageBand.
