How to compose songs in 30 minutes using your iPhone or iPad

About this ebook
There are many books on the market that deal with GarageBand. All I know are different versions of the user manual for the application, so I thought I could offer something different: a book that would help anyone; although the ones who did not have musical knowledge and not only those who already have them. This book is special because it offers you the opportunity to compose a song, YOUR song, without having the slightest idea of solfeggio or knowing how to play an instrument. I do not limit myself to enumerate you the features of the application, besides showing them to you, I go along with you and we walk together the way of the composition of your song. If this book gives you any doubt you can contact me and I will gladly help you.
As much as I think about it, it still amazes me that anyone has the opportunity to compose their own song and record it with an excellent level of quality, which was unimaginable a few years ago and also, being able to do it with an iPhone or an iPad!!!
Welcome to this magnificent opportunity to show your creativity to the whole world.

Tras años de composición y grabación, a principios del 2013 descubrí la aplicación GarageBand y resultó ser "amor a primera vista". Acostumbrado a grabar mis temas en estudios de grabación, utilizando costosos equipos de grabación multipista, ecualización, etc. descubrir lo que podía hacer con algo tan simple como el iPad resultó impactante. Con los años la aplicación a seguido mejorando y todavía me sorprende lo que con ella podemos hacer: grabar hasta 32 pistas, tener a nuestra disposición una gran variedad de guitarras, teclados, bajos, distintos tipos de batería, instrumentos de cuerda y viento, etc. En el año 2017 creé un método con el que cualquier persona, sin experiencia previa ni nociones de solfeo, puede componer sus propias canciones utilizando GarageBand. A principios del presente año, puse a la venta mi ebook "Cómo componer canciones en 30 minutos", una recopilación de mi experiencia a lo largo de estos años componiendo canciones con GarageBand, junto al método que he creado.

How to compose songs in 30 minutes using your iPhone or iPad - Jose Luis Argent
DEDICATION
I dedicate this book to two wonderful little people
, because without them, I would never have made the decision to write it. Aitana, Lorena, you are the engine that drives my life. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your unconditional support. I love you to infinity and beyond!
ACKNOWLEGMENTS
I would like to thank all those people who, directly or indirectly, helped me over the years to feel passion for music and composition.
To my cousin Pablo Varela, who with a small gesture, as lending me for a few days a tiny keyboard that was given to him for his communion, woke up in me the desire to learn to play the keyboard. Amparo Tormo, daughter of some friends of my parents, who at that time studied piano, taught me how to play a fashionable song with that mini-keyboard, which I thought was a great achievement and encouraged me to continue learning.
Special thanks to Salvador Perales, friend and fellow student, tired of playing pasodobles with the orchestra of which he was a part, changed the pachanga for pop-rock and founded our band. He taught me a lot, from how to play the keyboard chords to composing my first songs. To my brother Juan Pablo Martínez, to José Perales, brother of Salvador, and to Fede Tortosa (partner of my first business: a recording studio), for being part of the band. With them I shared my best years and musical experiences. Antonio Giménez, for working as a manager and helping me achieve my youth goals: record an album and play several songs on a TVE1 program. Teresa Vañó, for being the inspiration for my best songs with the group. To Josefa Mur, for awakening my passion for the guitar and for so many fun hours of practice. To Mª. Ángeles Díaz, for inspiring me to compose again and give me enough confidence to sing one of my songs for the first time.
I left for the end the most important gratitude, to my parents, Eusebio Martínez and Luisa Argent , for making me
so stubborn, well... I better change it for persistent
:) THANK YOU .
