What I Learned & Problems I Solved

tutorial I followed

I learned more about GarageBand this session and figured out how to change the track colors. The main problem that I had was that I have no clue how to make a composition and I’m so horribly unoriginal that it’s painful to me and everyone around.

Summary

In this composition project I made a song based off of the song “sans.” by Toby Fox. Personally I don’t believe that I’ve developed any skills, but I did better my understanding of GarageBand.

What I Learned & Problems I Solved

I learned how to find instruments that sound good together, and, I learned how to use GarageBand. One problem that I kept facing was not knowing how to actually compose a song; Since I’ve never had an interest in composing my own music it was difficult to stay on task. I eventually got over myself and just did whatever, and I think my composition turned out fine.
