RECORDING AND EDITING AUDIO


                  Recording allows you to add your own vocals or instruments.

                  STEPS TO RECORD IN BANDLAB:

                      Click Add Track and choose Voice/Mic or Instrument.

                      Press Record and start playing or singing.
                      Click Stop when done. The recorded sound appears in the track area.

                      Use the Edit Window to cut, move, or adjust your recording.

                  Music  production  combines creativity  and technology.  By  using DAWs like  BandLab  and
                  GarageBand, you can explore professional music creation and experiment with making your own
                  tracks. Understanding time signatures, loops, and the metronome helps in developing structured,
                  rhythmic compositions. In the next lesson, we will dive deeper into music production with loops,
                  learning how to layer sounds effectively to craft a complete musical piece.
