Sound Projects with Audacity

We use Audacity to create sound projects.
Here's our list of activities:

• 30 Minute Music Mix
  Create a 30-minute DJ music mix featuring:
  - at least 5 songs
  - at least 5 additional sound effects (added sound files).
  - The mix must be both saved and exported as an MP3.
  - Mixes must be school appropriate, so any swearing or inappropriate words must be edited, reversed, beeped or otherwise modified.

Assessment:

• [5pts] Entire sound file is school appropriate
• [5pts] Full 30 minutes with no silence (except for a few seconds if a song has a quiet part)
• [5pts] Quality mixes (picked at random)
• [5pts] At least 5 extra sound effects
• Saved as MP3 and hand-in
  (or no marks at all!)

• 30 Second Public Service Announcement (Radio PSA Ad)
  (Special consideration may be made for radio ads for a local company.)
  Create a short 30-second radio advertisement for either a school-related topic (sports event, drama or music production, holiday celebration, ...).
  - exactly 30 seconds (no more, no less)
  - at least 5 well-placed sound effects
  - your voice doing narration (although you may use Effects like "Pitch")

Assessment:

• [5pts] Entire sound file is school appropriate
• [5pts] Exactly 30 seconds with no silence at all
• [5pts] Uses your voice (may have an effect)
• [5pts] At least 5 extra sound effects mixed in with quality and for good effect
• Saved as MP3 and hand-in
  (or no marks at all!)
