Creating the sound of fear with GarageBand plus Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra

Step 1 1. Pick four notes Start a new project file in GarageBand and add four short notes of a bell sound. In the pop quiz, you determined which bell and which pitch is the most enjoyable. Now you pick four notes at random and put them on a track so they play in just one second. Note: Once you have created the project with your four note, you can easily adjust the velocity of the notes. I prefer to have each of the notes with a different velocity.

Step 2 2. Repeat the notes One of the options in GarageBand is to drag the region so it repeats itself. We need about four seconds of these tiny bell sounds. 3. Send me your results Once you are happy with your sound of fear, send me the project file. Done!

More advanced Techniques In the exercise above, you used on only one track in GarageBand. If you wish, you can try to create additional tracks to enhance your sound of joy. Option 1 · Add other voices The tiny bells give you a feeling of joy. You can enhance this with other sounds. The easiest is to add another instruments playing the same notes very slowly while the bells play in the background. Option 2 · Add an audio sound effect Programs like GarageBand allow you to mix music with ordinary audio files (sound effects from a sound effect library.) Pick a fearful sound effect and combine it with your bells. Perhaps the chirping of a bird.
