Cool joke song

Remember: for Thursday's class (4/15) we meet in Colson 130 to hear the presentation by digital poet and critic Loss Glazier. I will take attendance: find me and let me know that you're there, and I'll mark you present.

> Audacity is a free, flexible sound editor. It is more powerful than the free editors included with most computers. (I would say it is on a par with or slightly better than Garage Band.) Download. Be sure to also download and install the LAME mp3 encoder in order to make mp3s. Some important tips:
  • Each "track" is a clip of music. You can work with multiple tracks. When you save the file to a .wav or .mp3 or other format, the tracks are mixed down to a single track.
  • The record button (red) creates a new track every time it is pushed.
  • You can select, delete, copy, split, and paste whole tracks or sections of a track. You can apply filters and other transformations to whole tracks or sections of a track. You can drag whole tracks or sections of a track to different times in the timeline.
  • There are excellent Audacity tutorials here. Also remember Creative Commons Search, try Freesound and Open Music Archive.
  • Download some clips and make a piece of audio with at least three tracks. Upload it to your Google account and link it to your blog (click on the uploaded file and go the Share options).
