More GarageBand

All:

Now that you have a basic idea how to navigate around the GarageBand application, please create a music track at least 25 seconds long for use in an IMovie project coming up.  You need to use at least three different loops to create the song.  I would suggest Percussion, Bass, and any other loop of your choice.  It can be slow or fast and have any theme you like.  Try to create it to reflect your personality or have a mood of some kind.  It can be scary, funny, happy, sad, melodramatic, suspenseful, or just plain.  When you are finished creating the music track you must SHARE it by EXPORTing it to DISK.  Place it on your desktop as an MP3 file.  Now you are ready to open your GDrive and UPLOAD the file online.  Once you have finished the UPLOAD, please SHARE the MP3 file with me by hitting the SHARE button and entering my email address.  You should also COPY the web address (Top Of The Share Box) and change the Permission for this file to ANYONE WITH LINK.  You can now put a link to this file on your Weebly.com Website by adding a word or picture and applying a link.  I will show everyone how to do this in class.
