freeware apps

this week we were asked to download some freeware apps test them out, write about them, and all the rest of it. i explored into music making applications and found a program called 'audacity 1.3.9 beta' which is basically a program where you can create sound tracks on different layers from either sound clips that you've recorded or sounds that you've created using the program. on my first attempts using the program i got extremely frustrated as i do when i cant get things to go my way when i want them too. i found that i had to do the tutorial that was included that i had previously skipped. after completing this tutorial the program was much simpler to use it was still a very time consuming process but i managed to create sounds that i was intending too.

after playing with this aplication creating a vast aray of weird and wonderfull noise i downloaded a program called mixmeister fusion which is a music mixing application that alows you to add a database of tracks but strangely only in mp3 format. once the tracks are in its data base you can add them to different layers edditing how and when they mix into another using a heap of effects and basically all the adjustments you would ever need to DJ using just your computer. once these songs have been arranged and recreated to mix into one and other seamlessly you can save or export the playlist. i ended up spending days using this program creating my own music mixes and cd's which came in use at my 21st over the weekend saved me some cash as i didnt have to hire a DJ just pluged my laptop into speakers and let my playlists of mixed music run thier course.

both of these applications were very usefull and i actually had alot of fun playing with them and learning just how to use them in saying this though there were a few other programs that i downloaded that were rather useless and i've already deleted from my computer but it does show that you can get some usefull applications of the internet
