Audacity Assignment 6


Paragraph
                  In this assignment I had to make my "Get low with DJ Joe" recording echo. I made this happen by going to on the audacity menu & selecting silence on a part of your DJ name recording. Then I went to the menu of audacity again & select the bar that says effect then your click on echo. When I did this I played my recording from the beginning & that's how I got my results & completed this assignment.

Audacity Assignment 5


Paragraph
           In this assignment I had to cut a few things out of my recording & use the time shifting tool. My sounds that I downloaded to be behind my "Get low with DJ Joe" were kind of long so I cut off all the extra sound until I got the sound to be at 10 seconds. My "Get low with DJ Joe" was kind of small so I had to drag it to the middle if the 10 seconds of my other recording which is 5. That's how I finished my assignment.

Paragraph
            In this assignment I had to once again use my "Get low with DJ Joe" recording but, this time I had to put a beat behind it, so I can hear my recording & the beats at the same time. I went to freesound.org & download two sounds which I incorporated into my recording. I then I dragged the two sounds onto audacity & upload my "Get low with DJ Joe" recording & then recorded then playing all at the same time. At the end I was satisfied with the outcome.

Audacity Assignment 3



Paragraph
                 In this assignment had to fade my "Get low with DJ Joe" in & then fade it out. I uploaded my " Get low with DJ Joe" recording onto audacity & then I click on effects on the menu bar. The first effect I used was fade in & then I used the fade out effect at the end of the recording. In that order the recording sounds like it is fading away which sounds pretty cool. That is how I completed this assignment.
