Using audacity

Audacity is a free program avaylible for me to use to create my own sounds to the effect i wish them to perform through recording and editing clips or un-copyright music files i've chosen from the internet.

The sound-editing software lets me record from a microphone or other input, dub over existing tracks and even create many layers and monitor volume levels. Its simple to use, but it's not as polished as other professional programs. 
I've practiced cutting, changing speed and pitch of my own recordings. It also allows me to copy, slice, and mix sounds together, remove constant background unwanted noises, alter frequencies and create effects such as phaser, echo, bass boost and equalization.

My group got together and we used an input microphone in order to achieve wind noises for our anamatic. We considered going outside to try and record real wind, but it would've been a bad quality sound, so we interperated what we thought would create the best mood through using our own breath, keeping constant and having all three of us to make layers.
