Audacity

As I was looking at my blog I have realized I missed sharing one of my experiences with you. Audacity is an audio recording program. It is a free program where you can overlay prerecorded audio and created audio. You can add fade ins and fade outs. You can even add a door bell sound. I found it extremely fun to use. It could be useful in adding personnally created audio for videos. I could see this being used in a high school setting to teach how to mix tracks, create their own songs, or even to recreate audio for a video if the video recording didn't come out correctly.

One reason I had really enjoyed it was that it had me achieve a goal of mine. My dad really likes Star Trek, so I have always wanted to take the different themes of the show and blend them in some fashion to create a soundtrack for him to play. With this program, I was able to create this soundtrack. Now for those Trekies out there who may happen to read this:

1. It is in show publication order.
2. It does not have the last show Enterprise on it because its particular theme was a Rod Stewart song and really didn't fit well with the others.

I loved the way it came out and hope you like it too.
