New Audio Classes

If you've ever wanted to experiment with sound editing and creating wonderful sound art or music compositions, be sure to check out the latest class the Digital Innovation Hub has to offer.

Create Your Own Sound Art is a workshop taught by musician and artist Barry Prophet.  In the session you'll get familiar with the open source sound edting program called Audacity.  The lesson is a hands-on workshop that will give you all the tools you'll need to create on your own.  Explore channels, effects, and other common used tools while also playing with a multi-track sound project.

For anyone hearing about Audacity for the very first time be sure to check out this blog post I did from 2012.  The program is essentially used for audio recording along with sound editing and adding adjustments such as removing noise or distortion, changing the pitch and tempo of the files with built plug-ins and effect tools that make the process a little bit easier.
