E-mail test; Feb. 6 class prep

Good morning,

I’m testing a new group e-mail for our class. If you did not receive an e-mail from me Sunday morning please send me an alert at haltschiller@seacoastonline.com.

How is everyone coming with their sound story? In class this week we will do a brief tutorial on the Audacity sound editing program and then we’re going to jump into hands-on editing so please come prepared with your raw audio. Remember we need individual recordings with your voice, your subject’s voice and environmental sound.

If you want to get a jump on editing sound with Audacity here is an excellent tutorial.

Also, if you can convert your sound into an mp3 format prior to class that would save us some time. One easy way to do this is to pull your sound clip into iTunes which can convert a Windows Media file into an mp3. (If you can’t figure out how to do this don’t worry, we can do it during conferences or class).

Finally, bring a flash drive to class so you can take your Audacity project with you at the end of class. You’ll probably want to continue working on it and you may want to use it later in your photo story project.
