Jazz fusion innovator Pat Metheny stars in a new free online seminar from Apple that demonstrates how Macintosh computers can be used for composing, performing, recording and mixing music.
The seminar is about an hour long, and covers a lot of area:
What the digital revolution means for guitarists—and the advantages of going digital
Why the Macintosh is a new kind of instrument—and how you can use it in live solo performances and as a member of the band
How the Mac gives guitarists the ability to edit their recordings and experiment freely with effects, as well as collaborate with other musicians
The many advantages the Mac OS X operating system has to offer guitarists
The basic principles of digital music production
How the Mac spurs creativity, and the ideal solution bundle for successful songwriting using the Mac
What you will need and the process for building your chops with the help of the Mac
While the seminar focuses on the needs of guitarists, most of the material and techniques covered apply to anyone working with a Mac-based music studio.
