First Time User of Audacity

When I first recorded my inview I thought a minute would be a little too short, so I made things interesting and recorded just under 15 minutes. This was a bad idea for my first experience trying to edit with Audacity. Too much audio made it very complicated to edit and choose what I really needed. I didnt find myself saying the mmhmms but I did say, "got ya" afew times and interupted the speakers once or twice without being aware of my doing so.
I figured by being in my quiet apartment for the interview, there would be no outside or interupting noise, but at the end of the interview a roommates cell phone rang and interupted an important part of the interview.

While editing, I found myself stressed out with almost 15 minutes to edit. I didnt realize how long it would take. I interviews a local band for my assignment and thought it would be great to use early recordings of their music for background noise, but this too proved to me a task. Some of the recordings were not of the best quality, but through the tools in Aduacity I was able to correct a few problems and create something that I am proud of. Though it is not completely done the introduction and narration are almost comepletely finished. Now I just need to figure out where the music will sound the best and compliment the interview audio. I absolutely love using this software and I will continue to use it outside of this class. It's extremely fun, interactive and hands-on which for me makes it easier to learn.
