Garageband comes with a very simple version of pitch-correction software, often called auto-tune, and it honestly works pretty well as I explained in my pitch-correction guide. A lot of people have the misconception in their mind, however, that pitch-correction is a software program that allows producers to make a bad performance sound great. My version of Canon in D using Garageband. The first song that we will be learning is Pachelbels Canon in D. Listen to the demo that has been recorded entirely using the Garageband App on an iPhone 4S. Blood Brothers Cast – Final call for trip slips.

Starting on Tuesday 17th February Mr Johnson will be starting the first DBS orchestra to not use any musical instruments. Instead, instruments will be replaced by your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

The iOrchestra will be open to students from years 10-13. You must provide your own iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch and will need to buy the Garageband App which costs $4.99 (at the time of writing)

Procedure

  1. Listen to this podcast, entitled 'Musical Fusion' from the podcast, What Music Means to Me by Scott Watson. (Birdland is one of my all time favourite jazz tunes!)
  2. Check out a great example of a remix & re-arrangement from this project in a different division. Solfeggietto Remixed by Alison Hofmann.
  3. Check out the examples of Original Classic song vs the Remixes here!
PART TWO:
PART THREE:
  1. SELECT & DOWNLOAD YOUR MIDI FILE. Students must choose one of the MIDI files below, or speak to Mr. Hyland if you have a midi file you'd like to use. Clicking on the file will download it to your 'downloads' folder. Once it's downloaded, you can open the folder, click on the file, and press the spacebar to 'quick listen' to the file. If you like it, use it. If you want to try another, pick a different tune.
  • Musette (JS Bach) - This is in the key of D MAJOR.
  • Ode to Joy (Beethoven) - This is in the key of G MAJOR.
  • Entrance of the Queen of Sheba (GF Handel) - This is in the key of C MAJOR.
  • Solfeggietto (CPE Bach) - This is in the key of C MINOR.
  • Invention #1 (JS Bach) - This is in the key of C MAJOR.
  • Russian Dance (PI Tchaikovsky) - This is in the key of G MAJOR.
  • Sugar Plum Fairy (PI Tchaikovsky) - This is in the key of E MINOR.
  • Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, 'Allegro' (WA Mozart) - This is in the key of G MAJOR.
  • Flight of the Bumble Bee (N Rimsky-Korsakov) - This is in the key of A MINOR.
  • Canon in D from Canon and Gigue (Johann Pachelbel) - This is in the key of D MAJOR.
If you want to find another MIDI file, here are a few good places to look (WARNING: You can spend a great deal of time searching through other sites. To save time, I recommend utilizing the popular choices above.)
  1. SET UP YOUR GarageBand file, then import it into GarageBand: BE SURE TO USE THE SAME 'KEY' SIGNATURE AS THE MIDI FILE (see above). All of the MIDI files above will work with 4/4 time signature. Once you've set the KEY and METER (time signature) for your GarageBand file:
    1. Drag and drop the midi file into GarageBand’s “Track Window”. GarageBand will automatically import the midi data (notes, rhythms, and even instrument assignments).
    2. Once you do this, you should observe that new tracks with MIDI data are added to your GarageBand file.
    3. For instructions on how to convert a MIDI file into the type of arrangement you need, you can view this video tutorial on GarageBand Note Input (MIDI).
PART FIVE:
Now....PRODUCE!! After getting your notes in, there's a lot you can do to MAKE AN EFFECTIVE ARRANGEMENT with GarageBand:
  • TIMBRE: (Different sounds from different instruments) Choose cool, captivating software instruments for each track of the notes entered into GarageBand.
  • LOOPS: Add drum/percussion and other loops (bass, guitars, keyboards, horns, etc.) to create a pop groove. I strongly encourage you to use loops to highlight the form of your arrangement via texture changes. Use loops at the beginnings of phrases/sections, and build loops layers for 'high points' of the production.
  • SLICE 'N DICE REGIONS: Copy 'slices' (sections) of the entered note REGIONS to new tracks assigned to new, perhaps contrasting, instrument sounds.
  • DOUBLING/MIXING: Double tracks and assign complimentary sounds. For instance, maybe a breathy, sustaining synth sound could be doubled by a plucked string sound, or maybe a pan flute would compliment a rock organ. Set each track's Volume Level so that the MIX is pleasing. Experiment!
  • EXTEND FORM: Consider adding formal sections such as Intro and/or Outro to enhance form of the arrangement.
  • TEMPO CHANGE: Decide early on what tempo (speed) will work best for your song. Perhaps a keyboard piece that is usually played slow would sound really cool at a faster tempo (or visa versa). Also, if desired, ask your teacher how to automate the tempo (in the Master Track) to insert a ritardando (slowing down) at the end of your project. This is often done at the end of a piece to 'wind it down.'
If you want to push your arrangement even further, consider these steps:
  • LAYERING: Use good principals of song-writing, including the idea of layering (bringing blocks of sound in and out one or several at a time). If you want to know more, view the video tutorial, “Layering and the 100% Rule,' for more on this. For a great example of using LAYERING to support the FORM of a song, watch the YouTube video called Wind Waker Unplugged.
PART SIX:
  1. Share your project with others as you progress.
  2. Ask for FEEDBACK and SUGGESTIONS, especially if you're not sure about where to go next.
  3. View the work of others and share your thoughts!
