I really want to showcase my chops by recording a cover version of "Hotel California." How do I go about this? What is the ideal tempo and time signature for Garageband?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
GarageBand can do nearly any time signature and a wide range of tempos.

Hotel California was originally recorded in the key of E minor which turned out to be the wrong key for Don Henley to sing and was later re-recorded in the proper key for his voice which was B minor.
It has 4 /4 time signature. To find the tempo, drag the audio file into the garageband window and play along. It should roughly give an average tempo of 143 bpm.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
