This is a screen shot of Alex and I editing the audio (Alex's song) on Garage Band. First we opened a 'New Project' and selected 'New Tracks' from the tracks menu in the toolbar on the left hand side. Then we clicked on the track and chose the setting, female vocals, and then we pressed the red recording button and Alex sang into the in-built microphone. To add loops you drag the selected loop into the timeline. On the left hand side you can adjust the track's volume and layer up different tracks. The 'Reverb' tool is on the right hand side; it's a slider tool which allows you to add depth to the vocals, as if the sound is reverberating off of the walls.
It was a simple programme to navigate and use; first we made sure the room we were recording in was sound proof, Alex then did some run throughs of the song to warm up her vocal cords, we then recorded her singing the song, and then layered on top of that a recording of her playing on her keyboard, we then embellished the track with extra recordings of instruments.
After we finished the actual editing of the track, we exported it and transferred it to my memory stick, which I then took to school and transferred the track to the iMac computer I am editing the music video on. So it was quite a quick and easy process, however I learnt how to utilise a new audio editing software which I had little experience on, so it was a valuable experience as it can also be used to do many other things such as voice overs.
