So, Let’s not waste any time and get started:

Obviously, the higher the better.
So, If you want to start making music or podcasts on your computer, then follow
the method given below exactly as it is. You can also get GarageBand on Windows
11 using the same method given below.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD GARAGEBAND FOR WINDOWS?
I know while researching you might have come across various online methods to
run GarageBand on a Windows PC. However, some procedures might turn out to be
too complicated to follow, whereas others are unsafe and unreliable. The best
way to install and run this app on a windows PC is by VMWare, it is the method I
recommend the most and personally use, there is no lag and then exports are
easier and much faster.
In this section, we are going to discuss 5 easy to understand methods that can
help you download GarageBand on a Windows-based system. So, read through.
DOWNLOADING GARAGEBAND ON WINDOWS PC USING VMWARE
To download GarageBand on Windows, please click on the button in the header or
below. Click “Next or Accept” to proceed in the installation, complete the setup
and enjoy the music composing app.
DOWNLOAD GARAGEBAND WINDOWS
If you have basic knowledge of windows, you must know there are two leading
companies for window-PC processor: intel and AMD, AMD is where the processors
comes by the name of Ryzen, if you see the recent ryzen, that processor is a
BEAST! To anyone planning to build a PC, I say go for RYZEN-9 3950x what a beast
you will have for almost anything or everything you do, my friend:
UPDATE: Intel just came out with it’s 10th GENERATION of CORE PROCESSORS, It
has caught up insanely to the Ryzen 9, although I cannot wait to see what AMD
has to bring in answer but THREADRIPPER is still a beast which INTEL is
struggling to challenge. If you also play games and want a processor which can
provide the best 1080P as well as processing, I suggest the Intel® Core™
i9-10980H but overall I still stand with Ryzen-9 3950x. Here’s a chart for
comparison:

Intel-based Processor: If you are running an Intel processor-based PC, straight
up with no second thoughts go for the VMWare method. It will work smoothly.
AMD-V: If you are an AMD user, you already must know that not many
AMD-processors support AMD-V (AMD Virtualisation) the past version, the recent
ones have taken up a lead and works better than i9 too, so no need to worry
about that. Virtualisation is a major factor to run a Virtual-based OS on your
Windows PC. Please check if you have a previous version, if it supports
virtualisation or not!
CHECK VIRTUALISATION SUPPORT, IN YOUR PC?
STEP 1: First, please download the AMD-V compatibility checker from the official
AMD site.
STEP 2: Go to downloads or find the folder in the bar, click on the compressed
folder and extract the content using WinRAR.
STEP 3: Open the folder, click right and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR-“AMD Hyper-V”.
Step 4: Go and enable it from your BIOS. Like my case, Unfortunately, my
AMD-processor does not support AMD-V, because I opted for an old generation AMD
but as I upgrade to Ryzen 7 or 9, it will solve the issues for me.
If it’s a query in your mind: The Android Emulators may work but won’t function
properly.
For more detailed information, check out this video and follow the process for
checking virtualisation availability on your PC.

ALTERNATIVES FOR GARAGEBAND ON WINDOWS
So, what if you cannot use GarageBand? Are there reliable alternatives that
could give you similar or something close? Yes. Below are some of the best
GarageBand alternatives available today:
1. FL Studio: This DAW is compatible with most of the operating systems
including Windows, iOS, Mac, and Android. FL Studio offers four editions,
including the Fruity Edition, Producer Edition, Signature Bundle, and the
All Plugins Bundle. Each one of these comes with a different set of
features, which you can purchase based on your requirements. This software
is the closest to GarageBand, however, its interface is more user-friendly,
and offers free lifetime upgrades, post-purchase.
2. Mixcraft 8: Mixcraft 8 runs on Windows and is a favorite among music
professionals. Maybe you had used their previous version and hated the bugs,
but the new version is way better. They have an easy to use user interface,
improved sound library, and they offer next-generation sound engines
combined with innovative sound controlling features. The new version also
allows you to export and import MP4 videos from your camera or phone.
3. Reaper: It is compatible with Mac and Windows and even though it’s paid, it
is way affordable compared to most other options. One downside is that it
lacks a built-in sound library, but this is made up by its compatibility
with a wide range of file types. It is a good alternative of GarageBand
considering the its big library of loops.
4. Music Maker Jam: It is compatible with Windows, iOS, and Android, and is
free for these platforms. Also, just like Mixcraft, Music Maker Jam is easy
to use but is considered ideal for beginners.
5. Stagelight: It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android, and you get a
free trial before purchasing. It is also very user-friendly and has many
features to offer.

something artistic.

Please do NOT recommend ipadian! It doesn’t let you download apps. It’s not
connected to the app store. It’s a simulator, not emulator. It’s not FREE,
and the customer service doesn’t respond.

Hello brandy,
Thank-you for letting us know, I am using a free iOS apps on mine but
maybe they have changed now, we are going to get in touch with iPadian
team, confirm and see if they are not looking into their customer support
or not; and if nothing works out we are going to take the “download
garageband via iPadian” part down.
We appreciate your feedback.

Hello Cedric,
Which CD are you talking? You can download the music app directly from app

VMWare.

Friends, I have been struggling to find this for a while now & thank you. I
went through the VM ware method & it worked out. Although the macOS version
is old, I was able to get garageband working. Can you please help me in
figuring out how to export the file, I am facing issues in that.

Congratulations Esbeelura, I am so delighted to hear this, it has been a
while I have talked to anyone here as I have been taking it quite slow
since covid days. I can definitely help you in this, because you said the
version is ild- can you see a little tray icon with up arrow in the mid on
the top right of your GB app? If yes, if you click on it and decide on
your res. it might help!
Otherwise, if you go to “file” while garageband is open on your screen- on
the title bar, click on file, then go to save/save as- I prefer save as,
because I can decide where this file needs to be, to find it easier, as I
have made target folders on my desktop. lease let me know if this helps.
