Warning: This is one mother fucking kick ass guide, if you don't have a Mac or Garageband I don't suggest you read this.

Requirements:
Mac
IGarageBand


To start off open up IGarageBand by clicking this located in your Dock.

Once you click it, it should load and a screen like this will pop up:

From here you should see four options to click, lets go ahead and click "Create New Music Project". This will pop up:

Fill free to name it whatever you want and click create.


Now for the fun, once you click create a big screen will pop up with a piano on it, go ahead and click "X" on the piano.


Lets go ahead and create our own songs and demos.
Click the "eye" on the bottom left hand corner of the screen and this will come up at the bottom of the screen:

You can browse through all these different types of sounds. I'll go ahead and search "Techno" in the search bar. Once a list of sounds come up you can click them to here the brief sounds.

If you like what you hear, you can drag it onto the bigger screen for your custom made song.

Once you've done that, you can go through and add different parts to that section. Also, you can add a whole new section so you can have the "Syn Bass" and lets say "Bass" playing at the same time. Just make sure you search "Bass" and drag and dro it to a section under the "Syn Bass". If you want to hear what you have made simple click the "Play/Arrow" Button.

That's basically it, once you play around with it a bit you can make your own songs. Here is what a song looks like that I made within a few hours or so.

If you want to upload the song you created to your Ipod. Just click Share > Download to Itunes.

Thats basically it, I'll try to upload the one I made as a song and post it.
If anyone knows a site in which I can upload the song please tell me.
