The next feature I decided to take a brief look at was the iPhone ringtone feature that Garage Band offers. Although this may not come in too handy during the action research project, for allowing students to be creative maybe during a music class, this could be a great tool. For people that own an iPhone (or other phones that allow you to upload your own multimedia files) you can create your own ringtones to use whenever you'd like!
This template works basically like any other Garage Band template. The software allows you to use any of the single instrument loops, sounds effects, or full song loops to piece together your own ringtone. It allows for basic editing of the song to add whatever elements you would like. You can add many different tracks for instruments and even add voice tracks to the ringtone if you desire. If you are tired of paying for ringtones or just want to be creative, this is a great template to use.
Another template that allows you to express your creativity is the songwriting template. Again this allows you to create songs based on the loops and samples that Garage Band offers with all their templates. You can add single instrument loops, or full loops that have already been created to piece together a song. The great thing about the songwriting template is that a vocal track is already provided for you when you choose the template, and allows you to add your own vocals to the song! For songwriters that want an easy way to put down ideas or work on rough tracks for a song, this tool can come in very handy.
As you can see Garage Band has many great uses, and during the EMDT program will come in very handy. Garage Band allows you to add personality to any multimedia assignment and I'm sure that there are many great uses that I have not covered over these three posts. With more exploring over the course of this program I'm sure there will be many more features that will come in handy.
