Tonight's Assignment
Find the writing you did on your personal page regarding your position on the issues we discussed in class (Homework 14).
Create a new GarageBand project called 'YOURNAME Homework 15'
Delete the piano track and add a new track
Record yourself reading your work
Find a nice intro loop and add it to a second track
Position the first track so the intro music plays for a few seconds before your spoken word comes in
Saving
To save your file and avoid the 'Disk Write (Drive is too slow)' error follow these steps.
When creating your new music project click the little blue triangle button next to the name of your file
This expands the save dialog to include more options
Select the following path Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
Name the file using your name
Click 'Create'
Now you will be able to work without getting the error we saw in class.
NOTE: the file is now saved on the local machine only, not on the network. Make sure you can find the file again for next time by either:
Using the same computer each class
OR dragging the file to your desktop before you logout
Adding and Deleting Tracks
There are two methods to add tracks, the first is to choose 'New Track' from the 'Track' Menu. OR you can simply click the 'Plus' button from the bottom left of your screen.
To delete a track, select it by clicking the name of the track and from the 'Track' menu choose 'Delete Track' (or just press delete).
Viewing the Loop Library
Find the loop library one of two ways: by pressing the 'Eye' icon in the bottom left of your screen or by selecting 'Show Loop Browser' from the 'Control' menu
Exporting your work
Once your work is complete choose 'Export Song to Disk' from the 'Share' menu, give it a name and save it to your desktop. Then attach the file to an email to Mr. Mundahl.
