NEXT WEEK

We covered editing and exporting in today’s session, so there will be nothing formal next Friday, although 1.015 will be open 2-3 for anyone who wants to work on their audio file or ask questions.

NOTES

The notes from today’s session are at: http://mullet.pbwiki.com . The password is: walter . If there are bits that need clarifying, feel free to select “edit” and add them in.

INSTALLING

I have copied Audacity onto the G: drive ready for installing on your PC. 

1. Go to G:\Common\LET\AUDACITY

2. Double click on the file: audacity-win-1.2.6.exe and follow the prompts to install it on the C: drive of your PC

3. Copy (Don’t MOVE) this file libmp3lame-3.97 to the same directory as Audacity on your C: drive. If you didn’t specify location during installation, it will be at C:\Program Files\Audacity

At home, you can follow these instructions from Sue Waters to download and install  . The files are here:  Audacity  and the  LAME MP3 encoder .

SET UP

Follow these instructions from Sue Waters - to set up Audacity,. You will need to tell Audacity where you put the lame_enc.dll file. It is in libmp3lame-3.97 .

STORAGE

I have made a file on G:\Common\LET\MINIMOVIES if you want to store your files and images there for the Windows Movie Maker session.

WHAT TO DO NOW ?

Create an audio file, edit it and export it as an MP3 file. Marvel at your greatness.

Create at least 3 images (photos, screenshots) and save them in .png or .jpg format

Bring them to the Windows Movie Maker session on Friday February 22 in 1.015 2-3pm.
