Garageband

**// Individual / Group (no more than 2) //**

Introduction
Garageband is a piece of software that allows you to create your own music from a variety of sample instruments, sound effects and beats. You can also record music using your own instruments. Once sounds have been added to your project you are able to alter the volume and add effects.

Assignment
When creating your sound you need to include the following:

1. 5 different tracks need to be included. 2. The song needs to be at least 2 minutes long. 3. There must be evidence of effects being applied and volume adjustments throughout the track.

*Be sure to create your own music and not simply record your favorite song using the built in microphones. You would not have rights to use the work of others.

Setup
This software is found on your laptops and the computers in the lab. If it is not located in your dock (guitar) you can search for it using Spotlight in the top right corner of your screen. Once you have completed your song you will need to export it to the hard drive or share it with iTunes so you can upload it to Edmodo for assessing.
