Using GarageBand for classical music

We have to set up a series of "clips" from Classical Music - Brahms, Beethoven et al - for classes to be taught at a summer school for Adults. We were recommended to use GarageBand. We were told you could go to the section we wanted - (music downloaded to I-Tunes) - and then do a start of the section move it to the end of the "section" and then save it as a "Track".

We are considerng buying an IPAD - as we have only a NANO - and can't see the screen.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Thank you for resonding. We were told at Best Buy all we would need is GarageBand. So - I appreciate your honesty that this appears to be not what we need.

The situation is as follows. My husband will teach in Aspen, CO this summer to Elderhostel people. Back in the days of drop the needle this was easy. But now - everything is digital. And, so he has been downloading music to ITunes. He wants to go to a section of a piece of music (say - within the 2nd movement and play where the "horns" come in. And, then go to another section within the 2nd movement to show the change in tempo and "feeling". And, be able to play that. And, he can't take the time of "fast forwarding" and hoping he stops at the right place. Once he has set these up - probably 40 to 50 start and stops for 6 lectures - then he would transfer everything over to IPAD.

We will purchase one -as we have wanted something small and portiable which has wifi.So we can access our emails and the WWW.

Does any of this make sense now? Is there MAC AP which would do what we are looking for. This is what Best Buy kid said we/he could do.


I do appreciate your respondingto me.

Thanks,

Ann

GarageBand for iPad costs money.


It sounds like all you want to do is make a collection of clips available for people to listen to. If that's the case, a web page with the clips on it is more appropriate. You could make the page such that it could be saved for offline viewing (listening), if you like.


GarageBand is really intended for composition and editing of combinations of recorded sounds, synthesized instruments, and real instruments (there are little hardware adapters that allow you to connect guitars and keyboards to the iPad). While it's extremely good for this purpose (on the Mac, at least, I've never used it on the iPad), it doesn't seem that you intend to use it this way. It's inconvenient to move tracks into GarageBand for the iPad too.
