Audacity Exercise-In Class

Today we will work in the Media Lab. We have two goals for today as we explore sound:

1. Learn the basics of using Wire Tap

2. Learn the basics of using Audacity

To acquire these basic skills, you will be working with a partner in the Media Lab and will do the following:

1. Open Wire Tap and record at least two (2) audio files. Drag these onto your desktop or another folder that is easily accessible.

2. Open Audacity and start a new project file. In Audacity, do the following:

a. Import your WireTap Audio Files into Audacity

b. Practice using these tools: Cut, Copy, and Paste with your Audio Files

c. Use at least two (2) effects on portions of your Audio Files

Cheers!

P.S. Audacity is an *open source* program, which means you can find this program online and download it for free!
