Working with Sound Clips
In this first lesson, we’ll be taking a look at audio waveforms and learning basic editing tools like cutting, fading and setting levels to prepare for your digital project.
Download the tutorial project files to follow along during Tutorials 1 and 2.
Building a First Mix
In the second lesson, we’ll build our digital project using the sounds we prepared in the first lesson. Lastly, we’ll export our final audio mix that you can then add to a video project or share as a podcast.
Lost at Sea
Thanks to Dan McGregor in Art & Design for letting us build this skills challenge around his digital story “Lost at Sea.” His original illustrations work with the carefully chosen music and sound effects to set the tone for his memory of an afternoon painting with students.
Here’s the original so you can see how all the pieces fit together.
