One, I have always wanted to learn how to create and edit sounds, visuals, and\/or sound tracks. Two, I was able to visualize a sequence that would accent the pictures on my WordPress home page, and then frame it to flow in an intentional pattern complementing those images. And third. I finally learned how to embed a SoundCloud track properly.

I definitely had challenges working through Audacity, but after multiple attempts to mix\/fade sounds through trial and error, I eventually felt some comfort using the buttons and tabs on the menu. I also needed to consult YouTube several times to help unravel the tension.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I approach a project using Audacity, I will ensure that I &#8220;script&#8221; out my sequences well in advance. By using this approach I can plan to lay down the longest tracks or background sounds first, then crop in the &#8220;storyline&#8221;.
