Garage Band woot

Matt- So basicly. The music that has inspired me most recently have been the same bands that i have previusly talked about in my most recent blogs. So, I plan on telling you my view on Garage Band and the basic things that are cappable with it.

So, Last night at about nine at night i got bored and decided to try seeing what i could create in garage band. After an hour or so of watching video's on youtube on how to use garage band i was creating music in no time. I was able to create basic drum beats and piano progressiosn. I decided i would base the whole composition off of four power chords of D,C, F, and G (played in that respective order). I used a combination of drums, basic piano, synth chords, distorded guitar, two different bass lines, and a random weird drum sound that i could not tell you what it is, but either way it sounds awesome. After five hours of playing around with it i was able to create a song that was a full minute and forty-five second longs. Nothing special. Nothing amazing. But, i thought it was fun to create after five hours of toying around with this program. After I have more experiance using this program i will hopefully have more creative and meaningful songs. As for now, I just plan on doing this in my free time and to play around with.

I really enjoyed using this because i did not have a key board infront of me so i got my guitar out and translated my guitar into piano language and figuring out the distances between notes in the power chords and finding what notes were in each chord. It was also a fun experiance because i learned much more about my guitar by having to translate the notes from guitar to piano.

The other thing that i enjoy about this is that i can also record real instruments like vocals, guitar, drums, or any other kind of instrument. But, for now i am going to stick to doing it all electronically since i do not have the equipment to do that.
