We’re Making Music

When I got my first macbook freshman year of high school, I thought GarageBand was the coolest program ever. I immediately started creating songs with my friends. I wasn’t quite sure how to use the program but it’s really easy to just play around. If you spend only a few minutes clicking through all the features, you can figure out how to make music. I never made music with singing since I am the worst singer ever, but they still came out really cool. There are countless sounds ranging from African tribal music to electric techno that you can mash-up.

While I thought I knew how to navigate my way through GarageBand, when it comes to podcasts, I’m quite lost. I know that practice will make perfect and all I will need to do is create multiple versions of my podcast. I found it interesting that voices are compressed differently depending on if you record as a male or female. GarageBand also tries to make the program as easy as possible to use. If you put a beat or song behind the voices, it automatically fades it for you like a real radio show. Below is an Apple podcast tutorial

  1. It’s cool to mess around with loops and samples. I love doing this because it takes literally no musical ability to create something that sounds good. Also (not that you want to for this project) but if you want to sing and make it in key, use auto-tune. It will make you sound like t-pain

  2. I used to play around with GarageBand as well. I would record myself playing the piano instrument. It was really fun, but I was no good.
    The experience that I have had with GarageBand is little. The podcast is going to be a challenge. I hope I remember everything we learned from Ralph. I am excited to see how everyone’s will turn out in the end.
