Working with Audacity for the first time was a new learning experience. My temperament is to dive in, create something to have a starting point; once I do that, I keep trying different features to see what the different commands do. I make sure to make a copy of the original so I can keep going back to it.
My first try was with three tracks: intro music, voice recording, ending music. Since I was in the lab, I was only able to play the music through my computer and have my built in microphone pick up the sound. This meant that I had to have two windows open, Audacity, and Mediaplayer or idtunes, it didn’t matter where the music was coming from at this point. Doing it this way is not recommended as the quality is very poor. For my final recordings, I plan on recording directly into Audacity by some other means.
If you fail to align your recording before you record them, or want to make changes in the order of them, I found two ways to align your recordings. First, place your curser at the end of you last recording before you begin your next. Second, place your curser on the track position where you desire it. Go to menu, select project, then align track, align with cursor. The track will move to the new position.
