The Audacity to..?



Hi, Assalamualaikum! 

As for the title, no, I'm not about to rant or picking a fight or anything. It just the name of the software, Audacity. I think that is quite a funny name for a software because Audacity is a software where you can record, put or edit any sound files you want. Hmm I wonder the story behind the name but anyway, for this week, we learned about that in the class so I figured, I want to share it here.

To be honest, I am no stranger to video editing because I like to do that, the satisfaction that you get after seeing the final result is beyond magical, it's satisfying. But for audio editing? Well, I have never done that so at first, I thought to myself, "Mehh, it won't be that hard, right?" and when I opened the software to try to do it, I got myself feeling confused. HAHA. Yet, I don't want to give up that easily. So after a few moments of clicking the buttons, trial and errors, I finally got the hang of it. You just need to be brave to make a mistake because after all, you still can undo that so no worries alright? However, I am attaching the picture of how it looks like when you open the software ↓


This is when you first opened it ↑

And this is after you added some sound you want to edit ↓


It seems complicated, right? But afraid not cause everything is on the tips of our fingertips! I will provide you with a link to help with the tutorials as I am no expert to this.

How to Audacity

OH MY GOD! How rude I am. I forgot to tell you guys in the first place as to why I shared about this Audacity software in my blog 😭😭😭

The major reason we learned this software is for our future assessment, which is to create a podcast using the software. I really hope that we will come out with a good topic and can nail the assignment very well. 

Wish me luck guys. Toodles!

XOXO

Mic Test..1..2..3..?

Hi, Assalamualaikum! It's finally hereeeee! EH? What is?  Ehehehe our very own podcast is finally here! We have to create a podcast by using Audacity software and publish it. Farra Nazira was my other half for this assignment and we put so much effort to making this work. For us, it is better if we both meet because to record a podcast with each other being milessss away is so hard and the sound quality will be worrisome. It is not like I came to KL solely for this purpose but I think, why not?  We have discussed the idea for the topic via WhatsApp before we met since we would have to get approval first and the reason why we chose to talk about books is because it is something that has been with us since we were a kid. It is something that is so sentimental to us so we both agreed to do this. Finally we came out with the name of the podcast which is the "Booktalks". It is where we shared our opinion on the books we have read and also to share our experience related to boo...

Computer-mediated Communication (CMC)

  Hi, Assalamualaikum! I have promised to elaborate more on Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) on my previous post so I can't delay that and gotta do it soon after. After all, CMC is something that is close with us and it is not that complicated despite the name itself so I am going to explain it short and sweet. Let's get into it! Computer-mediated communication (CMC) would be defined as any individual interaction by the use of two or more electronic devices. Although the term has historically known to these interactions that exist through computer-based formats (e.g. instant messaging, email, chat rooms, web forums, social networking sites), it has now been extended to other means of text-based contact such as text messaging. Computer-mediated communication can be divided into two types:  Synchronous: The interaction happens in real time. All parties are engaging in the conversation at the same time; even so, not all parties are usally at the same place. For example, Fac...
