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!

Probably will venture on a bit different music composition/recording aspects later on but this is just a perfect start for me. Thanks and appreciate your good work.

Really great stuff. The examples move at just the right pace and I learned so many things I didn't even know Garage Band _can_ do beyond how to do what I knew it could!

I'm using an iphone and I had a little bit of trouble following but I stopped the tape and was able to find the functions. It wasn't a big problem.

I've been using Garageband for a little while but without any training or tutorials. Now I've been watching this for only 15 minutes and I am already a whole lot wiser!
