Learn the basics of audio plugins and special effects, right here at the Brooklyn Public Library. Using GarageBand, we will experiment with many free built-in plug-ins and also look at other available effects. From reverb, to phasers, delay to tremolo, choruses, flangers and ring modulators, learn how to spice up your sounds, add new textures to your productions, and have fun exploring all of the possibilities. With demonstrations, listening, and discussions, we will learn how many of these effects work and how to find creative ways to use them.
