Garageband for iPad + iPhone - A Beginner's Guide
Learn The Recording Studio In Your Pocket
Description
Garageband iOS is Apple's incredibly powerful mobile recording studio that allows anyone to play and compose professional sounding music. It's allowed individuals to create natural sounding orchestras with little more than their phone and a pair of headphones.
In this class, we explore how Garageband works and how someone can compose their own music without any previous experience playing instruments or writing songs. We'll look at some different genres of music, and build demos of each track, including:
techno
trip hop/ hip hop
ambient/ classical/ new age
Each genre of music has their own requirements, so within each demonstration we'll work our way through:
learning the types of instruments
arpeggios and chords
using quantization to straighten out our playing
working with samples from other sources and creating our own sound samples
mixing the music both within Garageband and using alternate digital workstations
creating filters and guitar amplifiers as a way to give texture to our music
linking other music apps with Garageband
and much much more!
