Motu Symphonic Instrument

[Astrea Busbin]

Inaddition to GarageBand, you need to be able to create the sounds of a symphonic orchestra inside your computer. GarageBand comes with some great sounding software instruments (that is instruments inside your computer). But these are not enough for filmmakers. Filmmakers need the sounds of a symphony orchestra.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot get a synthesizer to sound like a real symphony orchestra. And even with the best musician, it is almost impossible to get a good sounding musical score from a cheap keyboard synthesizer. Therefore, your motion picture was branded as cheap.

When people hear you do weird things (such as creating musical sound effects using musical instruments from the symphony orchestra), the audience thinks that you know what you are doing. They think you are a genius! They think you meant it to sound that way.

You will learn how to create a mood with a single musical note (such as a violin trill), with fast repeating rhythms (with delicate bells or a harp) and with very simple melodies which give the movie additional meaning.

One advantage of GarageBand is there is no need for a Midi keyboard to create music on the Macintosh computer. The GarageBand program allows you to use your computer's keyboard. Since the computer's keyboard is not velocity sensitive, you will need to go back and adjust the velocity for each note. However, this is not as bad as it might seem since this course in Film Scoring is for non-musicians who will have to do this anyway because they play so badly.
