Creating Music
Once you open
the GarageBand app, you are able to immediately begin making music. There are a variety of instruments available
for you to use. If you own an
instrument, there is an option for you to record your own instrument straight
into the app. There are loops of prerecorded music that can
be added, as well. The songs that you
create can be exported to iTunes and used in different ways. You can upload those songs to any music
player, and you can even use them in movies you are creating within the
iMovie app.
Recording Audio
Recording audio
in GarageBand is a simple and effective way to create voice overs to use independently
or as part of a larger project. By
recording audio, you can also record podcasts which can later be published.
