    I'm stuck with Garageband. Ouch?

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I have a mac, and am only able to do any music writing in garageband. Obviously, the better work on the site here is NOT done in Garageband. Actually, I don't think anything here is.

    Anyways, I have been playing around a lot with the instruments that are supplied, and I have a small budget so buying soundpacks would be challenging. But to the point, what is a better music making program I can get cheap?

    Like, i saw the guide for a $0 budget, but they all seem to be just programs limited to a few sounds or styles. (I haven't checked, mind you)

    If I make it any louder the quality just drops. I don't know how to get around this.

    As far as synth quality goes, is that just because I'm using garageband, or is there actually improvements I could make?

    I don't want it to be repetitive or lead to nowhere, but that seems to happen in most my songs.

    But, is the song like, in tune with itself? like, there aren't any parts that contradict, are there?

    I don't know what to do to help it. Any advice?

    This is to be my second remix.

    What do you guys think?

    It's quiet because if I have it too loud in garageband and then export it, it becomes all fuzzy. I make it quiet then increase its volume in itunes.

    Here's the original:

    Also, is the max file size for a remix 6mb? if so then I need to lower it. It's at 6.4 right now.

    So yeah; any advice?

    So I walked down to EBGames the other day, and I saw posters for a SSBB tournament they're having in april; the winner goes to Nintendo world in New York. I want to enter! whee!

    ahem. Anyways, since you guys HAVE been in tournaments before, anything I should watch out for or train for?

    P.S. I don't actually expect to win, but I don't want to lose my first match either, lol.

    How often do you listen to ocremixes?

    A little over a fifth of my entire music collection is from OCR, and of that, I've burned well over 30 mix CD's. Whenever I'm in the car (which isn't as often recently) I'm usually listening to an OCR CD. Whenever I listen to my iPod it's usually from an OCR-dominated playlist.

    My main draw to the music is that it's (free) high-quality instrumental music - mostly. I've come to enjoy some of the mixes with vocals in the last year, but I really like the instrumental stuff because it's good mood music, thinking music, writing music, etc.

    Same here, except probably 1/3 - 1/2 is OCR. It's true, though. Lyricless music is perfect for any kind of creative activity, especially reading, writing and art.
