It’s not as scary as you think...

Hey Reader, If you’re a GarageBand user who has ever opened Logic Pro and immediately thought, “Nope. That looks complicated”… you’re not alone. But here’s the thing. Logic Pro is far more familiar than most GarageBand users realise. Under the surface, they share the same foundations. The layout, the workflow, the core ideas. Logic simply gives you more control and more room to grow once you’re ready for it. With Apple now making it easier than ever to try Logic Pro on Mac, I thought it was the perfect time to make a video walking through what actually changes when you open it for the first time… and what stays reassuringly the same. You can watch it here 👉 GarageBand to Logic Pro: Not as Scary as You Think If you’re using GarageBand on your iPhone and have ever installed a new instrument or effect app only to think, “Right… now where did that go?”, I’ve just published a new video that walks through exactly how AUv3 plugins work. I break down the difference between instruments and effects, where they actually show up inside GarageBand, and what really works on iPhone so you’re not left tapping around the screen in frustration. Watch here 👉 Using AUv3 Plugins in GarageBand on iPhone (What Actually Works) Cheers, PS - If you're finding these messages helpful, please consider supporting The GarageBand Guide by buying me a coffee! |

Hi, Reader If you’re thinking about buying a new Mac, Apple’s current lineup is… a little confusing. There’s the new MacBook Neo. The M5 MacBook Air. The M5 MacBook Pro. On paper, it’s easy to get caught up comparing chips, RAM and benchmark scores. But what most people really want to know is: Which one should I actually buy? That’s exactly what I’ve tried to answer in my latest video. Rather than reading spec sheets, I’ve spent time using all three for the sort of work many of us do every...
Hi Reader, If you wanted an affordable way into the Apple Music making eco-system today, what would you buy? A MacBook Neo? Or an iPad A16? On paper, they're closer than you might think. Both use Apple's A-series chips. Both run GarageBand and Logic Pro. Both can edit video. Both are aimed at people who want an affordable way into the Apple ecosystem. So I spent some time testing them side-by-side to see which one makes the most sense for musicians and creators. Watch here: MacBook Neo vs...
Hi Reader, I get asked gear questions almost every day. Which Mac should I buy? Which audio interface is best? Do I need studio monitors? What headphones should I get? The problem is that there are now so many options available that it's surprisingly easy to spend hundreds on gear you don't actually need. For example, I think a lot of home studio musicians are buying far more computer than they'll ever use. And I think many beginners would get better results spending less on their Mac and...
