    • Reflection

    This was a challenging project for me, because I have not used Audition before and I have not worked much with audio files. I went through the module lessons and I watched a lot of YouTube to help me understand the processess I needed. I struggled at first because Audition was not recording. I search for many solutions and changed prefrences to get things to work. I briefly ditched Audition for Gararge Band, and spent time in with that program only to become more fustrated. I eventually shut all my programs down and did a restart. When my computer started back up I went to Audition and it worked! I was so happy! I was able then able to figure things out to complete my audio.

    In the end, I loved making the audio file and learning how to use Adobe Audition! I'm already thinking of great ways to use this new tool.
