This week I finished my Senior Project, keeping a daily log of what I have done. Tomorrow Spring Break starts and I will be gone for 10 days.
I planned my Senior Project to learn more about GarageBand and how to create songs through it. I am using a Video Tutorial Playlist from Lynda.com titled GarageBand '11 Essential Training with Todd Howard.
This week my deadlines were that I need to have Chapters 9, 10, 11, and the conclusion done in the tutorial. I managed to finish those Chapters on Thursday. But I was very close on Wednesday. I also had a due date for a final song that to be turned in today. Because I was ahead I took some time and did a few things for other classes. This week I finished re-learning my way around GarageBand, this time learning it the proper way instead of just figuring it out as I messed around. I started out with a few simple Jazz melodies this week and ended up with a song. I could have used more time on the sound editing, but I am happy with it.
I feel like this week went well, just like the last three weeks. The first week I discovered that the guy in the tutorial uses real instruments he plugs in to the computer and I can't do that. Therefore I can't do most of the exercise files. This freed me from some assignments and allowed me to work ahead which has been nice knowing I have been missing some class days lately. It was nice not having to worry about the state tournament once we got knocked out last week. I'm really glad I was able to do GarageBand for my senior project.
Below are a few screen captures of my song from this week.
