Got musical leanings? Our sister magazine Computer Music wants to help you indulge them with their brand new special issue, The Ultimate Guide to GarageBand. It’s packed with tutorials and features introducing Apple's most accessible music software to Mac users of all ability levels. From first steps with Magic GarageBand to publishing your tracks on iTunes, everything you need to know is here, teamed with audio demos and GarageBand songs to remix on the included disc.

The disc also features 12 video tutorials and an exclusive 'Best of Jam Packs' collection of 200 quality sample loops. These cover a range of styles and give you an awesome bank of sounds to use as starting points for your own compositions.

It looks absolutely fantastic, and I fully intend to sit down this bank holiday weekend with the magazine and get to grips with the one iLife app I've tended to overlook.

The special issue is on sale now from all good newsagent, and, I imagine, some pretty mediocre ones too.
