Today we were introduced to a music editing software called Audacity. Here we can open up original tracks and change them so that they can be faster, slower, louder, higher, lower, played backwards and you can also take off the vocals to make an instrumental version. (These are all made in the effects tab)
There are many tools on Audacity such as;
These tools in order from left to right are; the selection tool, the envelope tool, the draw tool, the zoom tool, the time shift tool and the multi-tool mode button.
SELECTION TOOL- allows you to select and highlight areas of the sound clip you want to edit
ENVELOPE TOOL- when the envelope tool is selected two blue lines will appear and you drag the blue lines in and out of the track to change the volume.
ZOOM TOOL- click on the track with the magnifying glass icon until you are zoomed in as close as you want to be. This allows you to view the sound waves so you can see the music.
DRAWING TOOL- To use the drawing tool you must zoom in until you can finally see the samples (small blue points should appear on the sound wave) and you can move the different points.
TIMESHIFT TOOL- This tool is used when you have more than one track open and you can move the different track where you want it to play.
