An Introduction to Garageband

Let's take a look at the editing options you have for your individual tracks. This is really useful for many things.

Click on "Track" on the menu bar. The track options will drop down.

The first option you'll really want to use is "New Track". That gives you a blank track to use for either your own instrument or recording, through MIDI or a USB/attached microphone.

You also have the option to delete a track if necessary.
