Lecture Comments
I found the intro to Garageband to be very interesting and eye-opening as well.
I think it is mind blowing that software can combine instruments by their mathematical code and the sounds can be blended through computer generation, this can make a unique piece of music.
I did not like the gospel singers that are on the software. I know Apple has the right to include what they like as long as they purchase it BUT it doesn’t mean that it is the right thing to do! Overall, I think it a great example of what technology can do and it does demonstrate the point of “The Information Age”.
