Wow, I don’t know if I’m just on a roll or what, but working with Audacity was yet another pleasantly straightforward experience! I have to admit that I was slightly worried by the amount of written instructions on the E-Toolkit page, but apparently it was all for nothing. The Audacity and accompanying LAME software was quite fast and easy to download and install, (however I think that a younger student may need a bit of guidance for which is the appropriate download for their system). Within a few short minutes of installation I was ready to record my first audio clip. My first recording was quite hard to hear, with a lot of background noise, but after some tinkering with the microphone, I managed to record a decent clip. I then was able to easily export my file in MP3 format, so it is readily available to for uploading. I think I’m getting the hang of this technology thing.

The Audacity of it all!

I’m glad it went well for you! Sometimes getting LAME installed properly is a stumbling block.
My partner is studying Cantonese and uses Audacity to facilitate his learning. He records a dialogue, creates multiple loops of key phrases, and then practices repeating them again and again. Much easier than constantly rewinding and replaying.
Are you gonna be podcasting soon? 😉
