3 Working With Projects
You start working in GarageBand by creating a project.
Projects hold your music and all the changes you make.
Each project has a tempo, a time signature, and a key, which last for the entire length
of the project. When you create a project, you set the tempo, time signature, and key in
the New Project dialog. You can save a project as an archive, and export a project to
iTunes or another iLife application.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
 Create a new project
 Set a project’s tempo, key, and time signature
 Open existing projects
 Save projects
