Students will learn the basic aspects of how to use GarageBand and/or Logic Pro X to record songs and make music using virtual midi instruments. We will also use mixing and mastering techniques as needed. These include but are not limited to: use of effects and plug-ins (such as EQ, compression, limiter, reverb, modulation), setting levels and panning, using Flex editing to make adjustments on rhythm or pitch, sampling, using reference material and loudness meter for mastering, etc. Sampling parts of other songs and sound effects, etc, might also be used in making beats.
