Due Today: Ex 2: Audio Editing Practice

Gain practice with the free audio editing tool Audacity. Here's the quick preview:

1. Download and install Audacity Portable.
   
2. You may need to to go through a few additional steps to configure Audacity to export MP3s.
   
3. Complete the Audacity 2.1 Tutorial, and export your finished file as "I://bart-edited.wav" (on your I drive, where you will be able to show it to me).
   
4. Following the general instructions on pages 110-120, edit this short audio clip of me reading part of a poem (your task it to remove coughs and false starts, leaving smoother speech), and layer these ambient sounds underneath the recitation.
   
5. Following the same process you carried out for the Audacity 1.2 Tutorial (above), export a file called "ode-edited.wav". It will be a relatively large file, so to make sure it was complete, you should test it out by playing the exported file (clicking on the icon).
