[DM-MUG] Bryan Baker on using Garageband

[Victoria L. Herring]

see the podcast linked here already and when Bryan gets his pdf or 
whatever of the keynote, I'll share it here or on the iWeb site.


Bryan Baker on GarageBand - 6/26/07

Bryan provided a great program on GarageBand and how it can be used 
to create and score music, for podcasts, for recording iChat audio 
conferences and as an audio workstation.  His presentation is at the 
website both in graphic form and as a podcast.

While there are some limits, the demonstration from Bryan showed 
there were quite a few fun and helpful things you can do with GB. 
There is a guitar tuner in GB as well.


You can even put images in your GB items [podcasts?  not sure what other use]
Keynote to
export images
then you can bring into GB - then can click and drag into track

Things to do with GB

can create music with or without a separate instrument
can input using the Mac keyboard
sofrtware instrument versus real instrument
input MIDI files
musical typing
scoring


excellent package to get = "Drums on Demand" can be purchased and 
licensed to use to work with your music

Getting to Market:
	CDBaby - like Amazon for independent artists, self-publishing 
for music [basic setup, barcodes, digital distribution] - $35 for 
each album fee [you send them 5 CDs and they sell and handle the 
rest, take $4 each one and you price as you wish]
	get CDs duplicated  [company in Nevada can do 20 or so at a 
time, problem getting to get them pressed in small quantities;  there 
are other companies of course] - need artwork
	get Seen and Heard

to get into iTunes or other sources, can go thru CD Baby - need 
barcodes -- that can be expensive so CDBaby has a service for 
providing a barcode per CD/Title at $20

upfront costs - $55 each CD to do both iTunes [barcoding] and 
production.  You'll want to price accordingly.
