Garageband Soundtrack from 10 Things I hate about you

This is my GarageBand Tutorial where I had to learn to create a brand new soundtrack using loops on GarageBand and foley sound for the a section of the teen drama 10 Things I Hate About You. I only managed to complete 1 minute of the scene, and it wasn't easy to understand the software, as I had never used it up to that point, but it was a useful process, which I enjoyed as well.

This is my GarageBand Tutorial where I had to learn to create a brand new soundtrack using loops on GarageBand and foley sound for the a section of the teen drama 10 Things I Hate About You. This required me to create a certain type of sound to match the mood of the characters and mood of the film with using already made loops.

Above is a screenshot of the section of GarageBand where loops can be found, beats, guitar, synth etc. GarageBand has organized its loops in a way that makes a variety of combinations that sound great which is fairly easy as almost any combination you make with the loops works.

In the picture above you can see the sound level in blue under the blue loop which can be adjusted at certain points which is the case of the blue dots. Using this the sound level of an individual track can be made to fade in and out at certain points.

In the picture above you can see the video at the very top which you can synchronize the track with to create a certain types of moods using sound by viewing parts of the video. In this screenshot you have later in the film opening where the sound is quite heavy and urban which matches the grungy looking girl who is different from the girls in the car across from her.

10 things I hate about you

Instead of having to infringe on copyright violations by copying sound from YouTube or other video sites, I decided to use Apple's Garageband software to make my own soundtrack using Apple loops or other public domain music. I was able to import music that had copyright permission or use the hundreds of available loops to manufacture my opening intro for 10 Things I Hate About You.

I scrolled through the loops until I found that l liked. I was able to hear
a preview of the loop by simply clicking on it. Once I had included
the loop into my recording, I was able to adjust the volume and tempo.

Throughout my recording, I made sure to view the video to

see how the music went with the intro video.

I mostly concentrated on the transition between the cheery house music
that the group of girls are listening to in their car and the electric guitar
music of the protagonist.

Once I had added the loop, I was able to adjust the volume using
the volume tracker bar at the side.

I was given a range of easy to access loops to
use, and I was able to search according to the genre,
mood and instruments that I was looking for.
