Digital audio

Hello everybody, today I'm going to tell you things about the new unit: Digital audio.

In this unit we use a programme called Audacity. This is its logo:


Audacity is a free software application, it can be used for recording and editing audio files. I think is easy to work with it and very useful for a lot of things, in addition is the audio editor most spread on GNU/Linux systems. Its in many languages and it can be used for many things. This is the programme where we work:



With it we can do a lot of things related with audios, songs, music, sound effects, etc.
In the activities I learn to:
- search and download sounds from a sounds bank
-to cut, join or play two musics together, like only one
- to make a montage to simulate something with sounds, voices, background music, etc.
- to change the volume, the tempo, the pitch, the speed, or amplify a sound, etc., like for example in a radio programme.
- we can also add a noise, or generate a silence.

We record our voice and change it, with effects and more tool, like we are another person, or even a robot.

This is my voice like a robot:



Finally I make a commercial about a Lenovo's A760 smartphone, you have it here:





I hope you like it, it was a little difficult for me to do it. You have to cheep up and try to do it, it can be funny.
So bye bye and see you.
Kind regards, Ángela.
