Garage Band

For this project i have used GarageBand which is a new and popular music program which is used by big bands around the world such as Oasis. Being able to use and understand GargageBand has enables me to complete my radio jingle in a very classy way and i believe to have produced something far better than i would have expected due to me never using the program before and not being musically talented.

Garage band has a number of features that have helped me to complete a successful radio jingle for example it has seperate tracks for each insturment, already made sound clips such as laughing and applause that i have used and much more like piano clips etc. The program even allows you to play the piano with the use of the keyboard which is great if you are a musican.

This is what garage band looks like when opened here we can see no instruments have been selected apart from the piano and no editing or volume control has begun. At the bottom of the screen it enables you to play, pause fast forward etc your music. It also shows the time of your track has been playing, which will come in handy at the end to show how long your jingle, speaking and archive clip.

Here is some of the music already on the software, this enables you to look and listen to types of genre's and instruments that could fit in with your jingle. You are able to search through a large range of instruments and also the type of genre the musical instruments are such as classical,cultural, world etc. There is a large amount of music already on the software and also their are different length to instruments such as a piano being played for 5 secs, 20 secs or 40 which enables you to have a large say in what one to pick and then also you can edit the clip so you can pick out a specific bit or shorten the clip etc.

This is the music tracks that you can pick which then allows you to play that instrument your self or have the same effect as the instrument or give it a special effect such as radio preseter.

Also here there are affects that can affect the tone of the instrument or voice, the layer and the volume etc.
