New Things That Plug Into The Wall And Use Batteries And Are A Bit Geeky, But Are Still Cool, Obviously.

So in my absense stuff has changed, this has turned into a Uni blog instead, sorry kids, you will now be witness to an assignment.
ready?

(yes, i know its boring, its a Uni assignment) I really must do the initial blog for this assignemnt. okay, heres the bit where i evaluate myself. (big nose, little bit to fat, can see my roots, my eczma is flareing up, im chewing my lip studs again)

'honestly i have been begging for answers that you and only you can give to me//my voice crying loud, ive been crying for days now//and as i start to run i start to breathe'

UA2 initial blog.



Guess What I Did Today?
So today my teacher let us loose on garage band, and as a girl used to Logic and very complicated software recording programs the whole program kinda just seems like a freebie version of Logic, though i applaud its simplicity to use, my teacher ran through ALL the buttons and things that GarageBand can do in 5 minutes and then said go, so off i went to mix Marvin Gayne's Real Thing with loads of idea's in my head of what i wanted to do to it then half way through i realised that NO, i cant do many of the idea's because A. it would take me ages to and B. this isnt logic. so i added some Echo (!) and some Reverb, but some compression and a little bit of gate in there, regulated the levels so i wasnt constantly straining to hear the Vocals and actually thats pretty much all i did, thats how easy GarageBand is.
Conclusions Conclusions.
IN SHORT
i find the simplicity of GarageBand both wonderful and horrible all at the same time, meaning it would be a good bit of software to start off with, but i have been spoilt by its big brother and therefore hate the fact that it wont let me do things because the button isnt there. Playing around with a Marvin Gayne Multitrack however was a perfect way to end the afternoon.
this is incomplete.
