10/21/2015

Learning Targets:
1) I can describe the genre of my chosen song and create a plan for transforming that song into a completely different genre.
2) I can identify areas of weakness and find resources to help me complete my project.

Assignment:
Below in the comments post 1-3 questions you have about completing this project in GarageBand.
Answer at least 2 questions other classmates have by responding to their posted comment.
Answers should include a link to a resource or a link to your web page including a screen shot post of how to complete a task.

Looking ahead:
Be prepared to identify and describe the characteristics of your song's starting genre and what elements you are changing to give it the characteristics of the desired genre.

Do you mean the whole track? To do that, I click on it and press "Command" and "X". To cut a piece of a track, click on it twice and it will appear on the bottom. Then just drag and highlight the part you want to cut out or move.

Are we actually only gonna use just 2 songs.?

Gaby Cayeros

Well actually, we're just using one song and changing it to a different genre. Although, you can take pieces from different songs.

As Gaby said, we are mashing two songs but I'm sure you can use more or less and just add and take out. I believe the overall goal is to change the genre.

Q1.) Is it possible to separate the stems of the song you chose to remake?
Q2.) Can you mute vocals without muting the music? (I think you'd have to separate the stems to do it).
Q3.) Is it possible to make "masculine" vocals sound "feminine/whispery"?

1. Can you use just the lyrics of one song and add it to the other?
2. How do you add more to the songs, using Garage Band?
3. How do you copy just one sound from a song? (Like if I only wanted the bass part, or just the drum part?)

how will we make the songs different by mixing them?

Chato Garcia

You can do many things, you can either change the whole background of the song or you can speed/slow down the tempo.
