Hi all...

After googleing/youtube'ing Garageband tutorials i found im overwhelmed with tutorials.

I know alot about music but little about garageband (only had a mac for a week!)

Can anyone recamend a good website for lessons, tips/tricks and general all round goodness?

I have iLife09 + Rythem jampack and done a few basic recordings (played guitar/bass over a drum loop i found)

If it helps its mainly indie rock that ill be recording, main thing i need to know is how to program drums and if there is any decent add-ons i should consider for this? all other instruments ill be recording.
Cheers :)

Gearbox doesnt work, just get the dry signal into garage band. I dont mind this as ive been experimenting with the amp/fx in garageband 09.

Can't help you much with garage band, I use Logic. However, just stick with it. Once you catch on it is a very rewarding experience. For plugins I recommend iDrum. It is fun and fairly easy to work around. There is even a version of it for the iPhone. http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/idrum/ Once you have all that down upgrade to logic and you will be blown away by all that your mac can do.;)
