Then I selected Download All Available Sounds, and nothing appeared to happen. Was the thing downloading? All I could see was the Choose a Project window. I double-checked the GarageBand-Sound Library menu, and all options were now greyed out. Zero feedback from the app. Just now I stumbled onto something. GarageBand for PC and Mac. Written by Apple.

Be creative with powerful synths. You’ve got over a hundred EDM, and Hip Hop sounds at your disposal.

You choose your style and jam with the perfect drummer. Drummers are virtual session players that use the industry’s top session drummers and recording engineers to bring you the beat your song needs. Every drummer has their own signature kit that will let you produce music with a variety of groovy combinations.
You can switch up your sound with the intuitive controls, letting you enable or disable individual pieces to create your beat, your way. You can also customize loops and add them for some extra inspiration on your tracks.
Each synth uses the Transform Pad Smart Control, letting you tweak and morph sounds till they fit your music perfectly.

Where can you run this program?
GarageBand is only available for Apple users, with applications for Mac and iOS devices. Any customer of Apple can make fantastic music for free.
Is there a better alternative?
There are a variety of music creators, such as Magix Music Maker, but not all creation studios allow you to plug in an instrument and play. An alternative for Windows users is Ableton.
Our take
GarageBand is a great and powerful music creator that won’t cost money to start using. It may lack a few features, but you have a powerful tool at no cost.
Should you download it?
Yes, if you have an Apple device and want to play around with music, you should definitely get this program. It’s useful as both a tutor and a music creator.

I like nearly all of Apple’s $99 Jam Pack add-on sound libraries for GarageBand (Voices doesn’t do a lot for me), but I also like free. And when I think free and GarageBand I think SoundFonts, E-mu Systems’ sampled sound file format—a software instrument format supported by GarageBand.
Here’s how to obtain and install SoundFonts:
1. Google “soundfont” to find one of the many sites that offer free SoundFonts—HammerSound is a good place to start.

Download Garageband On Windows 10
2. Once you’ve downloaded a few SoundFonts, place them in this directory: /Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks.
3. In GarageBand create a new Software Instrument track, click the Details triangle, and from the Instrument Generator pop-up menu choose DLSMusicDevice and click the Edit button next to it.
4. In the window that appears, choose your SoundFont from the Sound Bank pop-up menu to play that sound.
Note that not all SoundFonts are compatible with the Mac OS. I’ve also found that GarageBand is happier if the SoundFont extension is spelled .sf2 rather than .SF2.
Also note that SoundFont files are often compressed in the RAR format. You can expand them using a tool such as the donation-ware UnRarX.
