Post: Audacity, my new best friend

Posted by Will on 5/04/08

    So, I discovered that music teachers in my area were using
    this free recording system online to record live. Since I
    teach middle school, when kids audition for honor choir,
    you have to send in a recording of each of them singing
    the required song. Well, I used this audacity program and
    it is so EASY. What you do is download the software from
    the internet, insert a microphone into your computer, and
    then hit the record button. (For the microphone, I went to
    Best Buy and got a Logitech mic (25.00) that has a USB
    cable on the end of it. When you are done, click file
    and "Export as a WAV file." Then, drag the icon into
    Itunes and either put it on your Ipod or burn a CD.

    I have been able to do loads more than just recording
    individual students. I can put the microphone on my
    keyboard and play accompaniments, individual parts, sing
    individual parts for individual sections while playing the
    piano, etc.

    I can have sectional rehearsals and don't need 4 piano
    players. If you haven't tried this program, you should.
    It is really easy.

    I know I am just doing the tip of the iceberg, as you can
    lay down multiple tracks and do a wide variety of other
    things.

    Check it out!
