Moduel 4: Mixing Two Tracks

Objective

The objective of this module is to let you mix your own narration with a background music.

For example, an English teacher could record his or her recitaiton of a poem and mix it with a beatiful light music; a science teacher could mix an audio about the wonders of the world with a lively song; a math teacher could accompany a math game description with a merry song.

Steps


 * After finishing the recording, click on "Import" in the "File" menu and choose the background music you like.
 * Play them two at the same time, and see if they works in harmony.
 * Pay attention to their lengths and volume. Prepare to edit if necessary.
 * Whenever you feel ready, click on "Export" in the "File" menu and choose any format you would like to save the project as.

Sample Work

Below is a good example for our teachers. It involves with video-making, which we might have an opportnity to learn in the future; just listening to the audio is already a pleasure. The mix of warm background music and the soft recitation voice would immediately melt you away.
