Learned how to play around with Garage Band in two hours. It was updated recently (did my course in Oct 2020) so everything looked the same as in my software. Great price, great course!
By Miguel Barbosa on 8/18/2020
Short course but long enough to get a grip on the subject of the course! Learned a lot.
By Nicole Cunha on 8/16/2020
I'm glad i took this course. Garageband is a big interest for me but i felt stuck on various problems and this course helped me solve them as well as increase my efficiency so thanks!!

Demasiado bsico y hace falta menos improvisacin
By Ken Trethewey on 7/7/2020
The first ten minutes was not about garage band at all. I dont want to know about backing up! I dont need to download anything. I want to learn about the controls of garage band.
I am now on 8 - overview part 1. The teacher is all over the place. No structured approach... It must improve.
By Mike Skrip on 7/5/2020
Good overview. He sometimes goes a little fast and I had to back up a few times to see what he was doing. But good overview.
By Pradeep on 7/2/2020
Quite a good understanding of the topic.
Well constructed courses.
Thanks for making it possible to take the course at affordable prices
By Martin Cox on 6/2/2020
There is a lot of talking but little interaction with the student. The 'How to do and practice seems to be missing. Whilst I appreciate it's a short course some student input during the course would be helpful.
By Sarah Hwang on 5/14/2020
Hard for me to see what you are clicking on to actually make the recording. Pretty confusing to watch.
By Marko Skoric on 5/2/2020
