Music Lab Class: Sampling – Music Production at the Library
Learn the basics of Sampling (Records), right here at Brooklyn Public Library. This workshop will cover the fundamentals of using samples at a beginner level. We will work together from scratch using GarageBand, discussing music along the way. Laptops provided. You will have time to build your own samples. This workshop is not genre-specific and will focus on the underlying process of building any kind of sample using music software.
