The GarageDoor: Resources

The main types of tools you will need in your GarageBand toolkit are:

Control Tools: a keyboard, an audio interface and a microphone to bring the sounds from the garage into your Mac.
Then there are the plugins that bring more sounds into your Mac: Audio Units and SoundFonts.
To add to your library of loops, have a look at our Loops section.
To add to your library of instruments, have a look at our Audio Units and SoundFonts sections.
You may also want to have a look at resources that help you learn more about GarageBand - even though you are visiting the best one right now!
The last category of GarageDoor resources are the software and online tools to help you become more professional and move beyond GarageBand. Like more advanced recording software, tools to learn music, ear training, music production etc. You will find these in our Beyond GarageBand section.
