Hey, You. Make a Joyful Noise. - 2004-08-24

You wanna make noises, NOW, that are as cool as you need 'em to be?
Ask Jay.

He'll guide you past those few little rocks and bumps in GarageBand that might otherwise pop a hole in your Creative Ship...How much memory do I _really_ need? What does that menu _really_ mean? C'mon, I wanna make NOISES!!!

And Jay will let you know. And you will be a noisemaker, and you will no longer be able to blame your parents because they wouldn't let you have an accordion.

Much Love to you loud people,
Great Respect to Jay,
The Fat Man

After fooling around with GarageBand for a month I was hoping to find a book of "tricks and tips" to further my exploration. Unfortunately this book isn't it -- it covers just the entry-level instructions I'd already figured out.

Maybe the authors knew more than they're telling, but there's nothing in this book which couldn't be gleaned from reading the help files.
