Audio Slave

I feel confident saying that this module probably took me the longest out of all of the projects. I constantly found myself re-recording whether it be for messing up on wording, having a short message, but most of all for not having a message topic that I liked. 

I switched from: Thanksgiving greetings, to library career message, to a message of we

lcome for my LIS site. I 

always 

stumbled on my words or would listen to the message and dislike the way the words came across. I finally settled on a greetings audio for my site, but still feel that my scripting could have been a little better. 

To edit the audio, I pushed my voice forward and chose some music to put in the background, numbing and fading out the sound. This was a fun way to learn how to record. 

I have already applied m

y knowledge into my social life. When I went home for Thanksgiving, I met up with some friends in Delaware. One of my friends was singing at a coffee shop so I decided to prop up my computer and record her music through audacity. I still have a lot

 of editing to do, but I'm hoping that it will be a nice Christmas gift. I'm really interested in learning more about sound recording and audio downloading but it may have to wait until I have more time.

The time factor is always the main issue, once a person has enough practice they can perform all these tasks in very little time but for beginners it takes time to learn the basics before claiming the rapidity of the experienced worker.

I also wanted to mention that I had the biggest problem finding the lamelib encoder and never quite figured out the missing link. However, for any mac users out there, its helpful to know that i-tunes can also convert wav files to mp3 files. By selecting this option from the preferences, the user simply right clicks and then converts to mp3 status. This is essentially how I resolved that problem.
