PRESENTATION OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC PRODUCTION:
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT APPLE GARAGE BAND (THE ONLY TOOL I HAVE RIGHT NOW :(
FROM A COMMON DAW WE EXPECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:
lET'S CREATE A NEW PROJECT IN GARAGE BAND
FOR THIS PRESENTATION I HAVE CREATED A NEW PROJECT WITH 2 TRACKS
LET'S OPEN THE PROJECT: WE ARE GOING TO PERFORM ALL OPERATIONS ON THE SECOND TRACK (AUDIO RECORDER)
1) TRIMMING: AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE MADE THE FIRST PEACE SMALLER THEN ON PREVIOUS SLIDE ( THE INFORMATION IS NOT LOST ! )
WHILE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SECOND PIECE ACCORDING TO GRID THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE GRID OFF AND MOVE THE PIECE WHEREVER I WANT
3) ZOOMING: THE TOOL ALLOWS ZOOMING BUT IT IS LIMITED (IT IS THE LARGEST ZOOM WHICH IS POSSIBLE INSIDE THE TOOL)
THIS IS POSSIBLE AND CAN BE DONE EASILY FROM THE CONTEXT MENU OF THE RECORDED PIECE
5) FADING - USED TO REMOVE POP SOUNDS WHEN COMBINING TWO PIECES IN ONE TRACK - NOT ABLE TO FIND IT...
I HAVE TRIMMED THE LAST PIECE IN THE TRACK AND USE LOOP FUNCTION (ANALOG FOR CYCLING) TO CREATE REPEATING SOUNDS
AS FAR AS I SEE WE CANNOT MERGE SELECTED PIECES - ONLY ALL PIECES IN THE TRACK
AUDIO RECORDER.1 DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE BEST NAME FOR THE PIECE BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT...
I REALLY TRIED HARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT A MARKER HERE - NO LUCK
ALSO THIS OPTION CAN BE DONE WHILE RECORDING INTO DIFFERENT TRACKS BUT WITHOUT FADING OPTION I DO NOT SEEE SENSE IN IT (WE ARE LIMITED TO 8 TRACKS IN GB)
11) BONUS! COPY AND PAST - COPY REQUIRED PIECE AND INSERT IT WHERE YOU WANT.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE TOOL SUPPORTS:
SUPPORTS WITH SOME LIMITATIONS:
THE TOOL DOES NOT SUPPORT:
