Programs to Download

The following post will be a review on a program that I use frequently called Audacity. Audacity is a sound-program that helps you alter music files to your benefit. This program has hundred of features such as Amplification, Change Pitch, Echo, and the most convenient: Noise Removal. If I want an instrumental version of a vocal song, I simply use Noise Removal, determine the number of decibels/frequency I want to change, and Audacity will remove the vocals within thirty seconds. Depending on the length of the song, Audacity can help enhance sounds with a click of a button (literally!)

If you want to patch up various sound files, Audacity can quickly manoeuvre the clips to your liking. Furthermore, you can accurately adjust the timing of your files to one thousandth of a second.

Audacity is professional, and student-friendly. I remember we took a day to learn how to use this program, and the results for our project a week later were phenomenal. The quality of the sound recording system is amazing way better than any other freeware program.

If you are a student or music lover, I strongly recommend trying out Audacity for simple editing projects. Audacity enables numerous sound-editing options, as well as re-mixing options for music lovers out there. Audacity can help generate sounds as well such as a guitar strum, or chirp. If you want to have a little laugh, record your voice and change the pitch by raising it to chipmunk style or lowering it to gangnam style :)

The best part of Audacity; it's free. There is no charge required to download this freeware program.

Homework Tip #1

One of the most stupidest mistakes I have ever made while doing homework is not putting my name on an assignment. Something crucial, and yet teachers rarely inform students to do so. Always put your name on the assignment. Fortunately for me, my teacher identified the work as my own, however deducted 5 percent from what was originally 100%. If I had written my name beforehand, I would've achieved my first perfect assignment of the year. Now, I always write my name before any further continuation of work.

The funny part was the assignment that was given. We had to COLOUR MAPS! I invested so much time. I outlined each and every country with a 0.3mm fine liner. I coloured each and every country, not leaving a single speck of white. I even coloured the bodies of water, something that was not mandatory. I believe at least five hours were spent colouring maps of each continent. When the five percent was deducted, I was shocked. I was about to burst since so much time of my life was used up. To reiterate, Always put your name on the assignment.

Don't let the amount of effort you put on an assignment, affect the way you feel about a mark. It's only your fault if you miss out on something expected. The mark you get, especially on a colouring assignment, will be the mark you deserve. Don't let competition, perfectionism, or anything else hinder yourself from improving your work habits.
