MAKE MUSIC ON YOUR MAC

Whether you’re a talented musician or like the idea of building on a pre-recorded beat, when it comes to making music, your Mac is the perfect partner

Macs and music were made for each other, and it’s never been easier to make music on your Mac – no matter what kind of music you want to make. It’s also incredibly easy to share your musical masterpieces with the rest of the world; you can start a song in the morning and share it on Soundcloud the very same day.

Your Mac isn’t just great for writing songs or recording performances. It can also be an incredibly powerful recording studio, especially when you start experimenting with plug-ins. Plug-ins are little apps that plug in to your music app and give it new powers; plug-ins include cavernous echoes, digitally modelled guitar amplifiers, retro synthesisers and a whole collection of special effects.

Once you’ve mixed your song to make it sound brilliant, your Mac can handle the final step too: mastering. Mastering is when you ensure that your songs sound as good as they possibly can, that the gentle ballad isn’t twice as loud as your heaviest track and that there’s a consistency to the overall sound (if you want there to be). Last, and not least, you can then export the finished product and share it online.

Let’s discover how your Mac can help you make, mix and share any kind of music.
