The courses are focussed on how to use GarageBand, there’s not really any info in them about actually releasing music. Happy to answer questions you have via email though - shoot them to Patrick(at)thegaragebandguide.com Just travelling back from holiday now so may be a slight delay in replying 👍

Hey Andy - it depends really. LANDR are great if you plan to release multiple singles/albums etc as you can release as much music as you want once you pay the yearly subscription. CD Baby may be better if you only plan to put out 1 release per year as you’ll only pay one time.

In this video, I compare LANDR Studio and Splice side-by-side to see which gives you the most value for your money!
