Really enjoyed how you broke this down Eric. I grew up Fruity Loops and have only recently come to Garageband. I have actually been messing around with Ableton Live too lately. All has me thinking about something Clay Shirky wrote:

The thing I can least afford is to get things working so perfectly that I don’t notice what’s changing in the environment anymore.

I don’t have #90daysofgarageband in me, and I’m in awe of, and learning so much from those who do, but I do have the odd good day. Here are my thoughts on rhythm sections. #EveryoneCanCreate #AppleEDUchat pic.twitter.com/8j4cgUIMtL

I love how you unpack this. Great share Eric.

For this #1564challenge I limited myself to stuff out of the Toybox, but I did allow myself a B section that uses 6541. I tried to focus on melody, which is something I often forget about. It’s not something I’d throw on when guests are over, but still, #EveryoneCanCreate pic.twitter.com/wNuBZNBIqk

Eric, what is the #1564challenge?

Liked In praise of Garageband by Austin Kleon (austinkleon.com)

One afternoon a few years ago when we were bored, I showed my son Owen (now 6) how to make simple tracks on his little iPad mini, and ever since then, he’s been completely obsessed with the program. He spends, on average, at least an hour a day in Garageband. (He would spend way more if we didn’t limit his screen time, and we have to, because if we don’t he gets that weird zombie recording glaze in his eyes. [Musicians will know what I’m talking about.])
