How to Fix Vocals in GarageBand

Not everyone can sing like a pop star or even a karaoke star. However, GarageBand, a software application that creates music, allows users to repair areas in the vocal tracks. They can record songs so that they can present beautifully performed tracks and be unashamed of their product. The industry standard language for this process is called punching in and punching out parts of a track. If you don't like a section of your vocal track, you can punch it in and punch out a more satisfactory bit of singing.
