Going On the Record….

Most bands start developing recording studio fantasies from the moment they listen to their first GarageBand recording.

That is unless you’ve sprung Phil Spector out of jail, and in that case you might want to plan on abandoning a lot more than expectations. It won’t end up sounding much like the way you think it will/should, it will probably take a very longtime, and it probably won’t be very much fun at all.
