Over the years, GarageBand has become one of the most popular music production apps on the market, and it's easy to see why. At no cost, you get a powerful and easy-to-use audio workstation for your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with a huge sound library at your disposal.

If you're looking for an entry-level music production app that can also serve you well when you become a professional, look no further. GarageBand has everything you need, allowing you to record and customize audio, mix in loops and virtual drummers, then export your song for the world to hear.

Apple doesn't do everything right, but you can't fault them for the way they've approached GarageBand. You can literally start using it with zero experience, and you'll be able to create a song in no time at all. Obviously, it takes time to perfect your craft, but this is probably the best place to get started.

Of course, even if you get the hang of using the app and mixing tracks, you won't get far without knowing how to play an instrument. Well, the app can help you there as well — it is bundled with 40 lessons for various instruments, which will get you far enough to where you can start figuring things out on your own.

Recording your voice is simple enough, and you have a few options when it comes to recording instruments. You can either play the software instruments directly on your Mac, connect your devices and capture their output, or just use the GarageBand iOS/iPadOS apps with their intuitive touch controls.

You generally need more than a couple of instruments for a song, and you can replace the ones you can't play with loops from Apple's massive library. These include both audio recordings and software instruments, the latter of which can be edited freely. You have a lot of options here for fine-tuning the sound to your tastes.

If you're a Mac user, there's no better app to learn music production with. GarageBand has everything you need up to and even at the professional level, and when you consider just how many features and sound loops you get for free, you'll be hard-pressed to find an app that is more cost-effective.
