My third and final update for the Garage Band tutorial deals with the plethora of virtual instruments available for use, the ease if editing and podcasts.
Should you find yourself lacking for inspiration or creativity, the virtual instruments offer a number of options including loops which I mentioned in an earlier post, effects to enhance your music and various styles of music. This allows you to adjust in the middle of your project should you change your mind or get suddenly hit with musical inspiration. Throughout this lesson, this section is the one I’ve looked forward to since I don’t own a musical instrument but want to become more musically inclined. There are so many instruments within the Garage Band interface, but you’re able to purchase more through the Apple Store.
Once your project is to your liking, editing and mixing play an enormous part in completing your project. There are so many ways to make your song sound just as professional as anything heard on the radio or on television. With time and practice, your project can be shared or kept for personal use within your iTunes library or iWeb.
And finally, Garage Band has Podcast capabilities, allowing users to create a homemade podcast using original music or a bank of royalty-free jingles and sound effects. The effects don’t end with the music, users can also choose what style they’d like their voice to be heard in with choices like radio, megaphone and even helium. Since the final format can only be saved in iTunes, I was only able to capture the screen shot of my recorded podcast.
