This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from January 2004 and lives here forevermore.

GarageBand

You may or may not have heard of GarageBand from Apple. It’s a music making application announced on the 6th and released last Friday. Well I got to play with it last night and I had great fun. It’s ridiculously easy to cobble a tune together, with a vast selection of loops to choose from in various categories.

You can also play various instruments using the on-screen keyboard, but I haven’t even gone near that yet. For now I’m having fun putting banjos on techno beats and mixing acoustic guitars, club beats and middle-eastern stringed instruments.

Finally the integration with iTunes is great. I can just tell GarageBand to export to iTunes and it creates an mp3 from my tracks and puts it into a playlist in iTunes.
