Assignment 3, required us to create and edit and audio recording using a downloadable application called Audacity. Audacity is an audio recording and mixing tool. I am a dancer and I always wanted to learn how to cut and mix my own music. I was told before that you had to buy a CD that you download to your computer that cost lost of money. When Dr. Yuen introduced me to Audacity I was in shock because it was exactly what I had been searching for only it was Free!
Learning about Audacity was a fun experience. He showed me the ends and outs of how to work and navigate this tool. After much explaining I realized this application was not only free, but it was extremely easy to use. We were required to create a audio CD of our choice. I decided to make my wedding day CD. Our recording had to have at least 3 audio clips joined and mixed together. The audio had to last at least 2 to 5 minutes with attributes (32 bit, stereo, 44,100 Hz sample rate). Also, we had to created another audio file in mp3 format (128kps, stereo, 22,050 Hz sample rate). The final audio file had to be written to a CD in an Audio CD format using a CD burning software.
Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of one of the happiest times of my life. That’s why I chose to do my wedding day CD. The day I would comment to spending my life with the man of my dreams. Over the years I’ve planned out my every desire for my future wedding. I want it to be memorable and everlasting. The CD I created will help create those memories. I recorded my voice at the beginning describing what my CD was about any why I chose to do something like this. After, I joined several clips of songs that I will play on the day one of my biggest dreams comes true, my wedding day. <3
Overall, my Audacity experience will be something I will remember and use forever. This tool was quick and easy to download and use. I will defiantly be suggesting Audacity to others. It has become such a benefit to me on my dance team. We no longer have to look days in search of someone to make a mix for us. I LOVE Audacity and will continue to use it in the future. I highly recommend this to people who love dance, music, and the arts. If you’re a person like me that only likes certain parts of a song this is a GREAT way to cut out the parts you don’t like and have a CD of your favorite music clips.
Great overall audio sound and quality.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded this link and it is not your link... I dunno if you pasted the wrong link.. or if something has happened to my computer.
ReplyDeleteI think you uploaded the wrong link also. I listened to your audio when we first did the assignment and I think you did a great job. Your choice of music was great and I understood everything you were saying. Overall, I think you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment goes good with what you do now as a dancer like you said. Using this tool could let you cut and mix your music and you did a great job on this assignment.
ReplyDeleteBeen a slight mix up with the links. That's the project from my Audacity post. Must have just gotten a few links crossed from when you commented on mine.
ReplyDeleteStill, glad you liked playing around with Audacity and I hope it comes in handy to you in the future!
