PE1 - Garage Band and MIDI Files (Part 1 of 3)
Learning Experience 1 - Going Deeper with Garage Band by Using MIDI files
Hope you enjoy the Happy Song! Did I mention that Macs rock?
Pretty cool, Micheal. I had no idea that Midi files would open into garage band with separate channels and instruments, but I suppose it makes sense. As a graphic designer (and videographer) , I tend to think of exported files as being compressed or flattened to where they can be viewed or heard, but not dissected. This adds a new level to being able to teach by breaking down finished products for student use.
Also, I am using Garage Band as my PE blog this week also and wanted to see what you had done. You appear to be an instant expert and your observation and presentation is awesome to a beginner like me. I have never been able to spend significant time with the music side of my productions, preferring to use someone else's canned audio as a last second improvement to my videos. It would please me immensely to be able to create the sound track playing in my head to accompany my productions. Thanks for your video.
Me again. I looked at PE5 first and then came here. I didn't realize you could load your midi files straight into Garageband. I was one of those people back in the 80s and early 90s who composed using midi files and no longer have the racks of synthesizers I did back then. I hadn't even thought of trying to port those old midi files into Garageband. I know what I'll be doing for the next few weeks (after I've done all my FSO stuff!!). Finding my old floppy disks and seeing if I can get those midi files back. Thanks again Peter
I am so glad you have decided to do Garage Band! I've played with it a bit, but know absolutely nothing about sound recording. Watching your videos is going to help me a lot!
