FROM A COMMON DAW WE EXPECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:

lET'S CREATE A NEW PROJECT IN GARAGE BAND

( AND CHECK IF IT IS REALLY A GOOD TOOL FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION :) )

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

2) MOVING TO GRID: MOVE THE REQUIRED PIECE TO A DIFFERENT PLACE ACCORDING TO GRID

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

4) SPLITTING: LET'S SPLIT FIRST PIECE INTO 2 PIECES

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

6) CYCLING: THIS ALLOWS TO COPY ONE SINGLE PIECE MANY TIMES

AS FAR AS I SEE WE CANNOT MERGE SELECTED PIECES - ONLY ALL PIECES IN THE TRACK

7) MERGING: I WANT TO MERGE ALL PIECES IN TRACK - THERE IS AN OPTION ON THE TRACK FOR THIS

AUDIO RECORDER.1 DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE BEST NAME FOR THE PIECE BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT...

8) COLORING AND NAMING: THE IDEA IS TO GIVE EACH PIECE INSIDE THE TRACK IT'S OWN COLOR AND NAME IT

I REALLY TRIED HARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT A MARKER HERE - NO LUCK

9) MARKERS: SHOULD ALLOW US TO WRITE WHERE IS CHORUS ON THE TIME LINE FOR EXAMPLE..

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)

10) COMPING: THIS TEARM MEANS THAT WE CAN RECORD MANY TIMES INTO ONE TRACK AND THE TOOL WILL ALLOW US TO CREATE THE BEST COMPILLED RECORD
