Use this post to comment when you need assistance with Kompozer, Gimp, Audacity, etc. This way I will know who I need to work with during class work sessions and you can see if a classmate is having a problem similar to yours.
Audacity Activity
Today I will walk you through the basic steps of using the sound editing program Audacity. To prepare for the in-class activity, please download the following sound files to the computer you are using. These are the sounds you will remix in Audacity to create a unique 10-30 second audio file. You can also visit the website Freesound to get more audio clips if you like.
Door slamming
siren
wind and rain
thunder
whispering in Spanish
woman speaking in Dutch with answering machine beep
scary voice
children in a store
“angels”
To learn how to use the program you will watch the following tutorial video. I will walk you through this process and answer any questions you have. I will also show you how to upload the sound remix that you create during class to the Writing Studio so that I can hear what you have created.
