I was listening to Chris play and noticed a hallway effect sounds like she is in a hallway or bathroom she says its garage band does anyone know how it works or how to use it.

GArageband is a recording program for Apple Mac computers. The effect is called reverb - any good recording program, regardless of computer type, should have a reverb effect.
You can also buy effect pedals that add reverb to live playing.
Reverb can be classified in different ways. Most programs give them label. Some are actually call Large Hall, Small Hall, etc. They used to make something called plate reverb that could reproduce a particle real rooms sound. These are the digital equivalents of them. Garage Band lets you mix a lot of them together. I usually use a little reverb with a little echo in Garage Band.
This examples use the internal MAC microphone on the first 20inch intel dual core 20 inch machine.
I used reveb, Echo and some overdrive for a little dirt. LOL The band came in Garage Band.

If you can't afford it, try the free open source program "Audacity". It's not as fancy and doesn't have all the same features, but you can get a nice reverb/delay sound with it. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Sorry couldn't find anything on Amazon or anywhere else. I doubt very much that a real version of Garageband for Windows exists, only a product 'like' Garageband (probably 'Mixcraft').
Garageband is an offical Apple product, and part of the iLife suite (iPhoto, imovie, iweb, iDVD, Garageband), ilife handles just about all the creative needs for the home user and it's one of the main selling points for a Mac.
When Apple bought 'Logic' - THE industry standard for sequencing/recording back then, they quickly did away with the Windows version, to encourage sales of Macs. Garageband was their consumer end music program and Logic their pro version. I doubt they'll ever produce a Windows version of either.
Another vote for Audacity! It works well enough to get your feet wet. Then, if you decide you need more you'll know what features you are looking for before you plop money down. The only thing that's a pain with Audacity is because of copyright issues you have to download a separate encoder into it if you want to export your file as an MP3. It's a bit of a pain, but once you set it up it's a great program. Oh, and you'll have to set your latency levels if you want to do multiple tracks.
