PE-3: GarageBand: Thats a Wrap...
Another
cool element in GarageBand is Magic GarageBand mode. It’s a way to jump start
your writing and recording process. You can choose different genres, audition
and assign band members, and play along with professional recorded audio loops.
There are 9 different genres to choose from and you can preview them as well;
some genres include Blues, Reggae, and Latin. Magic Garage Band does not write
music for you but it can help you when you are new to song writing or music in
general like myself.
Besides
trimming, looping, and arranging music on the timeline, you can also record
real instruments as well as mix and automate your music. Garage Band is not
only for making music but you can also take music lessons plus create ringtones
and podcasts. This is a great tool to add to my digital palette. I have
completed my song with the guidance of Todd Howard through Lynda.com. In the
beginning I was somewhat intimidated but as I progressed through the lessons I
felt more comfortable with Garage Band. I do realize that I am still in the
beginner stage of becoming the famous music producer of my dreams. I look forward to
learning more about this program. This is a
good start and it was a good experience. I really had fun learning Garage Band.
I even added vocals
to my song. I present to you my first song, Ecstasy.
