Some users running El Capitan may prefer the older interface of GarageBand ’11 (version 6.0.5). This version is radically different from the modern GarageBand 10, focusing more on podcasting features and "Magic GarageBand."
The primary difficulty for new users or those with a fresh Apple ID is that Apple has removed the direct "Get" button for GarageBand from the El Capitan App Store front page. You cannot simply browse to the app page and download it; the system must be forced into legacy fallback mode. Garageband Mac Os X El Capitan 10.11.6 Download
