After working through Alice, the animations program I discussed in my previous post, I was feeling overly confident and decided to download a free trial of Adobe After Effects CS4. Let's just say I should have stopped with Alice while my confidence was still in tact. CS4 was incredibly difficult. I found a few online tutorials, but I still struggled to make much sense of the software program. Therefore, for now I have put this program to the side.
To compensate for my inability to navigate CS4, I downloaded and successfully used Audacity within minutes of it opening. I recorded my son's voice, and we had a great time speeding up his recording, slowing it down, creating an echo effect, changing the pitch, and changing the tempo. Additionally, I was able to record a few sentences for my PowerPoint animation and insert the WAV files successfully. I was very happy with the quality and editing my voice was easy to do. Audacity is a great free download.
