Although we brought ALL audio tracks to the class, it was impossible to locate the very first one. We could only listen to the finished story once we exported it as .wav.

This happened to various groups, so we concluded, as a class, that it must be something with the new Audacity version, that somehow “hides” some of the tracks, and therefore, the final product can only be listened to in the computer were the files were created.

Here is our file: Click to listen.

Since we already had the “storyboard” for the sounds we had recorded, which took the shape of a list of noises that will happen in a specific order, and therefore tell a story through sound, the editing process was quick and efficient as well.

Although neither of us had used Audacity before, it proved to be a user friendly and easy environment to work in.

We were careful to record our work with a different name, and thus leave original files “intact” since we have been warned in class that it was a destructive environment.

The next assignment was to record sounds, and we (Jonathan and myself) organized the whole thing quite efficiently. We met for about 20 minutes to focus on ONE idea, since as usual each one of us had an idea. Then we assigned the different “scenes” that each one will record, and remembering the experience from last week, we had A LOT of different takes, each of them quite long as well, to be able to have enough material to work with.

We recorded each of the needed sounds while we did our everyday life. This has proven to be the most time - efficient assignment so far.
