I was honored to be a part of Berklee's forum on GarageBand!  It was great being able to see how GarageBand can be applied to real life musical situations.
Check out this awesome paragraph written about the evening.
Special thanks to Chris Fitzgerald for having me!
Smooches,

Trainer Chris Fitzgerald had to be a jack of all trades as he put together a demo based around vocalist Krysta Youngs' song "Silly Lives" during tonight's forum. First he gave a short background talk on some of the hardware and software necessary for working inside of GarageBand. Next, he sequenced drums and bass using the midi keyboard, which were subsequently quantized to tighten up the timing. Plugging in an electric guitar, Chris dived into the new amp and stompbox simulation feature in GarageBand called "Guitar Tracks". With the rhythm section in place, Krysta recorded her vocal part on top. Having reached the mixing stage, the tracks were blended together via volume and panning adjustments as well as the application of reverb. Chris even had time to go in and apply some creative audio editing and effect techniques to various tracks. Many thanks to our guest, Krysta for singing and also allowing us to use her track "Silly Lives" from her album Stories for the forum.
