I am relatively new to recording, and I haven't used a Mac too much. I have a guitar port which can feed into the computer but I don't know what settings on Garage Band to actually get it to play.
I understand that Garage Band isn't the best recording software in the world but I just want to lay some tracks down right now to improve my playing. As a college student I don't have a whole lot of money flying around so I was hoping to get some advice on this simple yet complex world of recording.
