SUBMIT AN ASSIGNMENT1. Create a Garageband Project and title it "Song Title_Part you are singing_LastName.
2. Drag the audio file found in the class Dropbox folder under GARAGEBAND TEST FILES (for group part tests) or SOLO RECORDING TRACK (solos only) into your project to use as the background track over which you will record your part or your solo. 3. Turn the volume down to -12 or lower. 4. Create a vocal track. Click the plus sign top left and select the mic icon for VOICE. 5. Make sure the track is selected and hit Command-D to duplicate as many tracks as you need. 6. Give each track a name or number. 7. Record several takes and then audition each section to determine the most accurate recording. Re-record any portion that is not acceptable in terms of notes, rhythm, diction, intonation, phrasing and style. 8. It will likely be necessary to trim the track by grabbing the bottom corners left or right. 9. To split a clip, highlight the clip and hit Command-T.
