Ict project: GarageBand


GarageBand ict project
For my ict project I have decided to explore the way in which music an it's industry is moving into a digital age.
There are two parts to my project, firstly using some musical background knowledge I have I managed to use digital instruments on my iPad to compose a short song. This was surprisingly not as difficult as it seems as the app is very well set out in several chords so it is easy to make a chord progression. It is also well set out to record real instruments which you can edit. The way in which you can also build several tracks on top of eachother  creating a whole sound. I learnt to use this mainly through looking up the problems I encountered on google and finding several tutorials on youtube allowing me to do more advanced stuff. The main problem I had was with the amount of instruments; you could only have 9 tracks at any one time. I overcame this by learning how to merge tracks in another youtube tutorial. I chose this project because I play guitar and I enjoy creating music. GarageBand was a way for me to do this much easier and to a more advanced degree. Overall the project took me around 4 hours, but I'm sure if you made the song longer and added vocals and real instruments it would have taken alot longer.
