timeline, and play the project to hear your music.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
 Create a new project

Creating a New Project
You start working in GarageBand by creating a project. Projects hold your music and all
the changes you make. When you create a new project, you set the project tempo, key,
and time signature. You can change these settings later in the LCD (liquid crystal
display) or the Track Info pane.
To create a new project:
1 Choose File > New.
2 When the GarageBand screen appears, select Create New Music Project.
3 In the New Project dialog, type a name for the project in the Save As field, and then
browse to the location where you want to store the project.
