The third assignment that we were required to complete for this semester was to use Audacity to create an audio recording. According to Google an audio recording is a sound recording: a recording of acoustic signals. To successfully complete this assignment there were certain requirements that we had to meet. The minimum requirements for this assignment are as follows:
Using Audacity, create an instructional, promotional, commercial, or business audio. You must have at least 3 audio clips join and mix together. The final audio must last 2 to 5 minutes with the attributes (32 bit, stereo, 44,100 Hz sample rate). The final audio file should be written to a CD in Audio CD format using InfraRecorder, Nero, Roxio, or other CD burning software. You must turn in your audio CD for grading.
Also, create another audio file from your final audio in mp3 format (128kps, stereo, 22,050 Hz sample rate). This audio file should be uploaded to your Dropbox. Then, post the URL of the audio file from your Dropbox to Assignment 3 Forum of IT 644 Social Network. Be sure to name your audio file in this format (i.e., johndoe-assign3.mp3) before uploading.
For this assignment I decided to create a promotional recording for the Imprezz Inc 4th Annual Fashion Show. Creating this recording was rather fairly easy since I’d used the software before. Though I had previous experience using Audacity it was very limited. Through completion of this project I learned how to use more of the functions Audacity offered. The newest function that I was introduced to was the ability to join and mix together audio clips. In the beginning I thought this task would be a challenge to complete, but audacity made it simple. Burning the CD and uploading the file to drop box were also very easy. I can see this project being use on a variety of grade levels and in various subject areas. Music or Speech teachers could definitely find a use for this software. I really enjoyed completing this assignment and look forward to using it in the future.

Hope, I'm glad you like using Audacity but this was one of my least favorite of all the assignments. I do agree with you it will be good to use in music but I do not see myself using it in the future.
ReplyDeleteI tried to view your completed assignment. The link is not working even after I copied and pasted it's giving an error.
Breast cancer awareness is getting lots of attention these days and generating lots of support. I did not have any problem with your link. Your voice was clear and the flow of your announcement was smooth and precise. Ending your announcement with a song was like icing on the cake. Well done.
