Garageband is a great DAW for recording and editing audio because it has many features that other more sophisticated DAWs have, albeit in a more simplistic and stream-lined format. I imagine this is because it’s so accessible and popular, and a lot of people love to hate on popular things. However, for whatever reason, there are a lot of myths spread about Garageband and many people unjustifiably sneer at it as an inferior DAW. For a lot of people who are new to music production, it makes sense to use it because it’s free to download from the App Store (my guide on this) and the popularity of macOS and iOS devices makes it accessible to the average person. GarageBand is a digital audio workstation that many people use for recording anything from demos to music that’s ready for distribution.
