This year celebrates 15 years of Apple’s GarageBand music-making software, and the company recently granted Rolling Stone access to its never talked about ‘Music Apps’ studio:

In the first media visit Apple has ever allowed to its under-the-radar Music Apps studio, the team of engineers showed Rolling Stone how the creation process for Garageband’s two types of sounds — synthetic and “real” — can span weeks or sometimes months per instrument, with new hurdles at every turn.
