About this course
The goal of this course is to give you an moderately in-depth look at the facilities GarageBand offers you to make music. Since this is a fairly straight-forward piece of software compared to its big brother, Logic Pro, I will help you squeeze maximum productivity out of GarageBand in a relatively short amount of time.
The first thing you will learn are the basic sectors of GarageBand and their functions. Following this, I will dive into the individual sectors of the software, one at a time, and then eventually help you to integrate them together to create a final product. The course, therefore, will first focus on the individual parts of the software, followed by how to combine the parts to allow you to get to the fun part: making music!
What are the requirements?
- A Mac running Garageband V. 10, which is available on the Mac App Store.
- For Vocals, your Mac will need a microphone of some sort; don't worry, most modern Macs have them built in.
- A USB/MIDI Piano Keyboard will help you move faster, but it is certainly not required.
What am I going to get from this course?
- Over 29 lectures and 3 hours of content!
- By the end of the course, you will be able to make a rhythm track, melody track, backing tracks, and vocal track, among others. You will learn how to mix them together to make them sound like a cohesive end-product. You will be able to create short jingles for things such as TV ads or YouTube channel intros.
- You will be able to use a variety of software instruments to realize your dream of making music.
What is the target audience?
- You have always wanted to make music, but don't know an instrument.
- You have always wanted to make music on a computer, but don't know how to transition from traditional recording methods.
- You're intrigued by GarageBand and want to see if it can help you improve your workflow.
