Garage Band 1) best tutor ? and 2) it can't see my files

[davowolf]

I'm brand new to this so would like to know what the best tutorial is for Garage Band please. But second question; a small recording studio where I recorded a song has kindly sent me several files which I successfully downloaded and are nicely in iTunes. But when I try to get GB to import them for me to play with, the files are greyed out as if GB can't see them. Is there some magic I need to weave to get the files in. Then I can use that as my initial project before embarking on recording myself here at home.

Hi and welcome.

As regards your second question, this article from Apple may help you import songs from iTunes to GB: GarageBand for Mac: Use the Media Browser

If you ever want to do this in reverse - GB to iTunes: GarageBand for Mac: Share songs to iTunes

As regards your first question re Tutorials; this is trickier, but you might give these free sites a look:

GarageBand - Official Apple Support
YouTube
