In this class, you'll be working with the Sampler instrument - which hasn't changed much at all since the first version of the Garageband App. It's an instrument that can sample or load any sound you like and lets you play that sound on a keyboard at different pitches. There's also a few ways that you can manipulate the sound including taking advantage of some Smart keyboard features like the chord strips and arpeggiator.

It can be difficult as a beginning vocalist to realize the value of a warm up. A beginner might not know what exercises to do for their warm ups and how long to do them for. As a result, many singers get in the habit of either not warming up enough or “warming up” for so long that their voices are already experiencing signs of tiredness by the time the singers actually want to start singing. What’s more, these habits tend to carry over to when these singers become more advanced and they start dealing with more demanding music.

In an age when production software is more powerful than ever, there’s still something to be said for shutting down the computer and going full hardware with your music making. From the tactile feel of twisting dials and bashing buttons, to the sonic unpredictability that comes from running sound through an elaborate audio chain, there’s something about working with ‘real’ instruments and effects that you just can’t recreate with software and controllers.
