1.Before you start putting things together, take a moment to sit down and plan what story you want to tell using the music lyrics.
2. After this is done, formulate questions and be careful in finding the right lyrics to answer the questions. Be more creative by showing versatility in the songs you choose, they shouldn’t all be RnB or hip/hop, choose a little bit from all genres if possible.
3Download the tracks from youtube using zamzar.com if you do not already have them on your computer.
4. If you happen to already have the songs on your computer, convert them into wave using zamzar.com. I find it easier to work with in audacity when they are in wav format.
5. After you do this, carefully import the songs one by one into audacity and trim them leaving only the part you want to use for your soundstory. We have all used audacity before for previous assignments and so this shouldn’t be hard for us to do.
6. After you do this for all the songs, you are not done yet. You have to still record your part- the questions. One way you could do this is to record your part as you put the files together, or, record all ur questions or whatever you are saying and save them in an order that makes sense for you to use.
7. The difficult part lies in aligning the sound tracks to make sense and in the order they are supposed to be in.
Hopefully this works, let loose and make it fun!
