DAW Audio Composition Project

Summary

I made a track in GarageBand using guitar. I used a couple different amp types. It was great.

Audio File Formats and Definitions

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format): stores standard CD-quality audio; similar to WAV (Higher Quality)

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format): CD audio; can be saved with different sampling and bit rates; similar to AIFF (Higher Quality)

MP3 (Audio File): Used to store audiobooks and music on a hard drive; Close to CD-quality sound; the higher quality sound comes from higher bit rates which also take up more storage space

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface): music data: notes played, when notes are played, how long each note is played, and the velocity of each note played; used to be able to exchange and use information between software and hardware programs; no actual audio data

All the audio file format information is found at: fileinfo.com

Summary

I think this video is very good. It goes step by step, and it goes slowly, which is good. It shows how you should position your hands to where you can play the guitar properly and better. Of course, you want to have your dominant hand on the strings. While your other hand, whichever one is not dominant, should be on the top strings and must be lowered. Overall, I think this video is really useful. You should try it.
