audacity..

The music in the above video is a ring tone I remixed using the program Audacity.

Audacity is a program that can manipulate and edit sounds and recordings, creating a new composition of your choice. When I made my ringtone I used Audacity to remix 3 songs downloaded by Youtube.

The first step was finding the songs I was going to use. I decided on making a "diva" remix using 3 famous songs and taking extracts from each.

I decided on recording my voice saying "This is a diva remix" and changing the pitch to be higher. This is so it sounds like a little girl is saying it.

 

The first of the three songs added to my ringotne was We Are Who We Are by Kesha. I added this song by importing the song from my file into Audacity. From Audacity I editted the song so that it wasn't so long and only 10-15 seconds of the song was playing. This extract of the song was placed after the recording. To edit the song I used the Selection Tool to highlight the bits of the song I didn't need and deleted it. I also used the Time Shift Tool to move the song further down the timeline so that it started after the recording.

 

The other two songs I used were Diva by Beyonce and S&M by Rihanna.
