Zoom-in Online

Even if you aren't into Nine Inch Nail's music, you should really check out their new offer, "Year Zero." Not just the music (which I admit, I like, but isn't really what I normally listen to), but the free Garageband version posted to their website. Not that NIN is mastering their songs in Garageband (I believe I read they use Pro Tools, but bounced each track out individually to create the Garageband version, though I can't lay my hand on the source of that).

So if you have ever wanted to see how a real professional song was put together, how all the tracks work together, now's your chance - assuming of course you have OSX and Garageband. There are forums full of people's personal remixes of the songs as well.

And of course if you want to see the recording part of Garageband in action, check out fellow ZIO'r Todd Howard's excellent tutorial on recording a podcast with Garageband.
