Guess What I Did Today?
So today my teacher let us loose on garage band, and as a girl used to Logic and very complicated software recording programs the whole program kinda just seems like a freebie version of Logic, though i applaud its simplicity to use, my teacher ran through ALL the buttons and things that GarageBand can do in 5 minutes and then said go, so off i went to mix Marvin Gayne's Real Thing with loads of idea's in my head of what i wanted to do to it then half way through i realised that NO, i cant do many of the idea's because A. it would take me ages to and B. this isnt logic. so i added some Echo (!) and some Reverb, but some compression and a little bit of gate in there, regulated the levels so i wasnt constantly straining to hear the Vocals and actually thats pretty much all i did, thats how easy GarageBand is.
Conclusions Conclusions.
IN SHORT i find the simplicity of GarageBand both wonderful and horrible all at the same time, meaning it would be a good bit of software to start off with, but i have been spoilt by its big brother and therefore hate the fact that it wont let me do things because the button isnt there. Playing around with a Marvin Gayne Multitrack however was a perfect way to end the afternoon.
