Hey, maybe you can help me - I have several music computer questions! 1. Is the computer lab available for general students' free usage of either Protools or Logic or something of that sort?
2. Or rather, can I take a snipet of audio sample from a CD, cut and paste it onto a stereo channel (or single left and right channel), and add room reverb on it - on either of those? Or is that doable on my Garageband on my old ibook?
3. And if it is doable, can you tutor me? (I don't have much money, but making this presentation the best it can be is hella important now that it will be presented twice! And my colleague who helped me last year, Jimmy, is not around...) Jimmy helped me virtually recreate "I am sitting in a room" but I want to try it again, possibly with some different material. Or more ambitious would be to digitally recreate "Come Out" by Steve Reich... which may be doable with simple cut and paste?
You'll need to export the cd audio as something...I'd do that in itunes. (Have it import the CD as either .aiff or .wav.) Then open the .wav or .aiff file in whatever program you're using. I know with audacity, you can add a little bit of reverb, or as much as you want. I think they're mostly preset. (I tend to mix dry.)
Later this evening, past 5pm, or next Saturday may be better (since I did not get anything done over this weekend... I can blame the Oscars but in reality, it's just me...).

Sure, I can show you the basics sometime.

Yes, a lesson may be needed, soon. I will let you know once I actually figure out exactly what I need to do.
