Garage Band Sampling

I created two samples using the program Garage Band. I used samples provided from Garage band itself to create my two samples. These samples are called Loops which include either MIDI files or audio files. MIDI files were in green whilst audio files were in blue. MIDI files allowed us to edit the sample to our liking unlike the audio files.

For my first music sample I used 4 audio files: 'Classic Rock Steel 04', 'Modern Rock Drums 11', 'Modern Rock Guitar 07' and 'Rock Bass 09'. The first audio, was a 16 beat audio whilst the other audios were 8 beat audios. I copied the audios with 8 beats so there were two of each so they all resulted in 16 beats. I adjusted some of the volume for some of audios to my preference. 

For my second music sample I used 4 audio files: 'Southern Rock Piano 01', 'Natural Drum Kit 02', 'Picked Steel String 10', 'Orchestra Strings 04'. The first audio was a 16 beat audio, whilst the 'Natural Drum Kit 02' and 'Picked Steel String 10' audios were 8 beats each. The final audio was 16 beats as well however I cut it so it was only 4 beats as I only wanted the first section in particular. Overall my whole piece was about 32 beats when I repeated sections. I also slightly altered the piano part by changing a few of the notes or deleting some of the notes as well. I ended the piece by adding a fade out.
