Soundscape

For those of you that haven't finished your soundscapes- you really need to get working on things. If you need to download Audacity (for free, yay) you can go to:

For questions about using Audacity- and if you didn't remember to bring your handout home with you- there are lots of good tutorials online showing you how to use the basic functions for editing. Here are a few for your reference:

Your soundscape needs to be a large part of your own creations, but you can use sound effects from online sources should you need it. Make sure you save your file to a USB and then bring it to class once you've finished it.
