SCO0149 - Making Music with GarageBand '08 [Extra! Only]

Time for some creativity & fun. GarageBand '08 is the latest version of the amazing music creation software included in the iLife '08 suite - free with all new Macs.

Can't play an instrument? Never had the time to learn? Well don't be disheartened as GarageBand '08 is suitable for all levels of musicians, from complete novices to accomplished players. What's even better is that you don't need an instrument or even any musical skills to create polished music tracks.

This weeks' show focuses on the music creation side of GarageBand '08. If you want to checkout how to create and enhanced podcast, have a look at SCO0042. The show covers:

Software Instrument Tracks
Using The OnScreen keyboard
Using your Mac keyboard
Interfacing Midi Keyboards
Real Instrument Tracks
Connecting Musical Instruments via USB & Firewire
Recording in GarageBand
All About Apple Loops
Creating Songs using Apple Loops
Master Track Automation
Special Effects Automation
Magic GarageBand
Exporting Tracks

And to create entire songs in one of nine different genres, I also looks at Magic GarageBand, a great new mode that does all the heavy lifting for you, enabling you to create a multitrack song completely from scratch, automatically.
