Producing soundtrack

Here I am recording the soundtrack for my documentary. 

Fortunately for me I am a musician so therefore I was able 

to record a simple soundtrack myself using the program 

GarageBand. I recorded three tracks for the whole soundtrack. 

I got inspiration from other paramedic documentaries 

I have been looking at such as Honda's Blood Bikes. 

I opened GarageBand and started a new project as acoustic guitar. 

I then chose to record using the real instrument. I could do 

this becauseI plugged my guitar into the iMac using a jack 

to headphone adapter. 

I recorded my main track first, using the Large Reverb 

effect. I did this first because I could then add extra guitar 

tracks on top of the main track. After recording my main track, 

I recorded a guitar line similar to a bass line with the

 sixties bass effect. After this I added another track

using the Long Pause Echoes effect. 

At this point, I was happy with the soundtrack. I

exported it with iTunes (MP3) and I could then

copy the MP3 into the shared area and add it to my

Final Cut project.
