Participants in the Westhaven-Elmhurst Community Association's SkillsLink program came to the Library for one afternoon during March for a crash course in audio recording and editing using Audacity, an open source software. After learning how to download and install the program, participants played with tracks provided by musician and workshop facilitator James Irwin, mixing and recording their own audio over top. Check out a couple of their practice tracks here:
Kelsey's Practice Track
“Kiyyaaa” by Kiya
Toto's Practice Track
While the Atwater library does have information sessions, I wanted to create a permanent instructional tutorial available on the website that library users could keep coming back to if they needed help. Enjoy and have fun navigating!
