Me

Hi I am Raul and I live in Puerto Vallarta. You are wondering "What place is that?" Puerto Vallarta is in Mexico and its near the Pacific Ocean. I like the beach and I practice Wakeboarding. This is a sport known in many countries and its similar to snowboard but it is done on the sea. My favorite sport is soccer. I've played it all my life. Every recess, the boys gather to play a soccer game. A few minutes ago we were playing. Another thing I do most of the weekends is go to the movies. I always call some friends and go to the movie theater to see the new releases.

I also love to play videogames. I could spend all my day playing Halo 3 ( Wich I don't) I play for one hour or two maximum. I really enjoy music of any kind ( Except Heavy Metal) I spend one fourth of my day listening to my Ipod. I don't know how to play an instrument but next week I am going to take classes of guitar. I want to know how to play it so I can participate in the Talent Show next year.

I measure 5,5 and have black hair. One of my favorite tv shows is Two and a Half men. I think that they are great actors and actresses. A hobbie I have is looking at videos with my friends. Youtube is the best web page there is. I even made an account to have my own videos. I don't use the computer much except for facebook and youtube. This are the things I like and do so I hope you enjoyed it and learned more about me.

listening

All the project I heard today were well done. They all had the time necessary that was 90 seconds. What I liked about the projects is that they had a variety of sounds. Some of them were from the Internet and others from sounds they made. what I didn't like is that some of them were really repetitive. I also didn't like that the sounds they did were too close to the microphone and they sounded bad

effects

In my project I used several types of sound effects. One of them is changing the speed. I used this effect to make a fast sound match a slow one. I also used the repeating effect many times. About 50 percent of my project had the repeating effect. The last a effect I used was fade out. I used it at the beginning of the song when the next sound was approaching. This where the only sound effects I used in my audacity project. This has been the best music assignment I have done in this class

audacity reflection

I really liked this project we did about sounds made by ourselves. It took me many classes to find a good beat that matched with the others but at last the song was a success. This project was a challenge for me because most of the sounds I needed had to be done by me. I think that it was a good idea to do our own sounds so we don`t have to depend so much on the technology. Most of my sounds were made by my mouth and only a few were from the internet and by making noise with things. The time Mr Mark gave us was enough to finish the song and the video. The only thing I do not100% is that it has to have a duration of 90 seconds. This was my reflection of this great project about audacity.

My Mash up

This Mash up project has been the best thing we have done in the entire year. I really got excited to do this. When I started to use this program I was lost. I didint know how to use it until I started to ask my classmates how to do certain things. For my Mash up I used three different songs. They are: Celebration from Maddonna, fight for you from Morgan Page, and shooting Star from Kevin Rudolf. My mash up is two and a half minutes long. It took me two classes to finish it. In the middle of my Mash up I mixed different parts of the same song to get a different sound and in my opinion this two noices matched with each other.. I think that this project was in the middle when talking about difficulty. In one day I learned how to use the preogram properly. I think that this project was fun and educative.

group Mash ups

I think that the Mash ups of my teammates were great. They were short but with good quality. I can tell that they used the time that was given in class. Many of them used really good music that matched with each other. They used many effects like the fade out and fade in.Most of my team used from two to five songs in their Mash up. Some people didn't do it so I cant talk about them. In my opinion the Mash ups were interesting and exciting.

My 1st animation

Overall the creation of my first animation was frustrating... all of it! It wasn't easy at all. Being able to put music was hard. But I was able to overcome my problem by asking some of my friends who were already able to do it. Although it was a lot of work, I liked the result of my video. Its simple but funny. I wouldn't change a thing of it. If I had to make the video longer, I would make my little man do some more exercises. Such as: push ups, jumping jacks, and if possible maybe integrate a machine and make him use it.
