In my class, we were given the choice to select a tool that would help us out with our action research project. I chose to be trained in GarageBand "09 Essential Training through Lynda.com to become more familiar with GarageBand tools, since music might be a part of my action research "pitch" final video. After a lengthly GarageBand training, I earned a certificate of completion.
For those who don't know what one can do with GarageBand, there are many wonderful options to create great music that can be uploaded into iMovie, iTunes and shared in podcasts. Real instrument recordings can be brought into GarageBand and mixed. In addition, for those who are novices to this music process, there are pre-recorded instrument and other sound loops that can be combined to make music. The process of mixing and matching loops can be great fun, if you have time on your hands. Podcast and iPhone ringtones can be created within GarageBand. Lastly, what is new in Garageband are guitar and piano music lessons! I wish this tool was around when I was in high school. I could have learned songs from the actual artist who recorded certain songs that are showcased in some of these music lessons in GarageBand.
The problem that I encountered, I thought that I was going to use some royalty free music for my action research pitch final video. However, upon researching into the selection of the royalty free music, there wasn't much of a selection. In addition, some royalty "free" music wasn't so free after all. So I began searching GarageBand to make music to add to my action research pitch video...(see PE7_GarageBand '09 continued)
