For the sound slide I decided to use the song "clarity" by John Mayer. Since the song has many different parts to it I wanted to capture every different part and have it flow into the next part. Although I had a lot of trouble making the transitions smooth.

when I opened up the program audacity I could not for the life of me figure out how to cut out just the right part without it sounding odd when it transitioned to the next part of the song. My computer would only let me delete and past together sometimes, so I kept having to resave and open up the program again and it would work. I was getting very frustrated and even tried moving computers to see if it was just the computer I had been using that was flawed. It was still giving me trouble but I made it work and I finally had gathered a minutes worth of the song that I felt had captured all the parts of the song. I saved it as a wav file and could not figure out how to open it using the sound slide program. I was in the computer lab with 9 other kids who couldn't figure it out either. Thats when I realized I had to open it from itunes and convert it to an MP3 file from there and then open it up through the soundslide. I was relieved to have it completed.

I am proud of the fact that I completed this project, and that I learned the basics of creating a sample of a song through the program audacity. I believe this will be helpful in the future and I could do a better job the next time.
