Class 41: Use Audacity

Today you need make a group for your PodCasting project and give me the names in your group.

Audacity is an open source audio editor and recorder software. You could easily download it from here (for Windows) or here (for Mac). For export your audio into Mp3 format you will also need to download the LAME Mp3 Encoder (Windows, Mac). When you downloaded the LAME Mp3 Encoder, save it on your hard drive. And when you first export your audio file, the software will ask you where you put it on your hard drive. You need browse and find it and then tell the software. After the first time, you can export your file into Mp3 format automatically.

Here is an online tutorial about how to use Audacity to record an audio file.
Record it with Audacity

From now to Wednesday, you need to brain storm with your group memember about your project topic.

On Wednesday you will record the audio file with your group member(s). You can either do that in the classroom or with your own computer and other digital recorders.

On Friday, you need to bring your audio file (which should be in the Mp3 format) to the classroom and we are going to edit it and put it online.
