The first step to creating a soundtrack in Garageband is to begin a new project and select either of the options e.g. Loops, Acoustic Instrument or Piano.
Next is to save the project before starting any work, and ensure that you repeatedly save throughout the project.
Once you've saved the project, a blank grey window will pop up (as shown), allowing you to produce and create any type of soundtrack.
In the the top right hand corner, a wide variety of instruments and sounds are available to begin a soundtrack; you can add as many layers as you want underneath each other for a better effect.
Once you have chosen a sound/instrument you want to use, simply drag it to the open space and it will appear in the corner like below.
To make the sound last longer, drag it from the top right corner to the desired length.
You can change the tempo of the sounds, making it slower or faster by dragging the circle up or down.
If you wanted to add another instrument or sound, again simply drag it underneath the existing sound.
Tip: You can change the time when the sound fades in and out by changing the track volume.
Once you have finished creating a soundtrack, you will need to export the song to disk by selecting the 'share' tool at the top.
You will need to uncompress the song and export it to CD quality.
Save the song in it's new format.
After being exported to CD quality, the song will appear like this.
