About: Every week two geeky people in Rochester MN spend every ounce of their freetime creating educational videos, podcasts, articles, and music. They publish it all on the internet, free to anyone in the whole univ…

We make a lot of music, which for some can be as easy as strumming a guitar or as complex as an entire orchestral arrangement. For our music, we like to use the instruments we have around us and with some Whisker-style manipulation, turn it into an electronic track, or whatever genre we happen to be into that day.

This video is a step by step of Whisker showing how he turns audio from a old timey jazz record, LSDJ on a gameboy, and guitar into a track with manipulation via GarageBand.

He explains how he goes about making this track through demonstrating and giving tips on: isolating drum tracks, how the effects he uses works, how he chooses what portions to use from his recordings, and how he creates a pumping feel to the track with compression (just to name a few).

Hope you enjoy it and find some useful tips! (And enjoy the song too!)
