The object of this practical is to:

· Be able to convert to differing formats such as mp3

Equipment:

Procedure:

· Download the sample (CLICK HERE) and unzip it (it’s large so may take a while)

· Decide which segments to use and copy them into separate files, saving each one with a useful name.
· Start to edit together your pieces to create 29 seconds
· Record your voice section
· Name, trim clean up as necessary
· Apply any finishing touches as necessary, such as e.q. etc.
