First I wrote the script. I chose something light.

Tribulation

Then I uploaded Audacity. That was easy.

www.audacity.com

Then I practiced recording myself a few times in Audacity until I found a recording I liked. Oh, I improvised a lot on the script.

Tribulation

I knew I wanted music, so I uploaded CCMixter.

I also wanted Classical music. I knew this was public domain so I simply googled the music I wanted and downloaded a mpeg of that symphony.

Tribulation

Then I went back to Audacity to find out how to mix music. I found the manual confusing.

Trial

So I simply experimented. Then I figured out through trial and error how to mix

the music, and fade it in and out.

Tribulation

Next, I uploaded Ourmedia so I could make the file available to my fellow students in the course.

I was successful at uploading Ourmedia, but I failed at uploading this file. I tried

and tried, and I tried.

Trial

Then Bob came to the rescue and uploaded my file

for me.

Tribulation

There were more tribulation than trials.

But I still need to figure out how to upload my podcasts!

Thank you!
