Orchestra
To do this I took several different tracks, mostly orchestra stuff, and compiled them into one, epic sounding song. I used fade in a fade out a couple of times. Also There isn't really an ending, it just fades out. I would like to add some more in the future.
Final Beat
I found this program very easy to use but for me it was pretty much impossible to make it flow. I used seven different beats to make this creation, I got all of them from Free Loops. Basically I just used one drum beat as a background for the whole project and then I just added other loops to change it up a little. I hope you like it :)
Circus Rap
For this project I used 9 different loops and two effects. The effects I used was the repeating effect and the change tempo effect. I repeated measures 1-14 and changed their tempo. When doing this project I ran into many problems. First off, I had a lot of trouble trying to save this project. At first I would just click save and whenever I did this the work I had done for the day deleted. I finally figured out after 3 days of this happening that to save it the only thing that worked for me was clicking "save project as"; there is probably some other way to do this but I never figured out how to save my project without creating a new project every time. Another problem I had was actually listening to the music on freeloops. For some reason the computer would not let me listen to the loops but it still would let me listen to Audacity. In order to solve this problem I restarted my computer.

This composition took me about two days to create. I first started off by choosing a drum loop that i wanted and put it on Audacity. I then took a piano loop and put it on and changed the tempo to fit the drum set that was playing in the background. I did the same thing with the violin loop. I then adjusted the gain on each of the tracks to fit the piece better and make it sound better.
techno song
I made this song using about 7 different loops. I created the baseline from a single beat to match the rest of the tracks and I changed the pitch of sections of the main track for more variety. I also added the hand claps at certain times for added pleasure.
My song
I made this song by using about 9 different loops. I had trouble mixing some of them together, but the fade in and fade out selection in effects was pretty helpful.
Rap Aint Easy
Rullo and I are going to rap to this at one point, and Georgia will come in and lay down her rhymes at the end to finish it off. We haven't signed Georgia to her contract yet but I can see her signing in the near future.
Random
This has kind of a rap beat to it. I just found a bunch of loops that I thought would go together and then put in sound effects to make it more complete. I also had to copy and paste some sections of the song so that it flowed. I added a fade out and echo towards the middle to change it up a little. The beginning did not originally flow because it was not a transition so I added a clap that went to the same beat to make it flow. This song contains 6 beats that matched. It originally had 8 but the other 2 did not really go well. This was my first song so I was still getting used to the program but hope you enjoy!
Well, this is my little song. I had problems finding songs that mixed together well so I tried out a lot. But I ended up with 11 tracks. I had two main tracks that play pretty much throughout the whole song and then just added vocals and other tracks to that. I wanted to make the ending pretty intense :] I hope you enjoy!

Bubblegum
I had a total of seven loops. One was playing most of the time so i would have something playing at all times and i found some clip that has a guy talking about bubblegum so i put it in and called it bubblegum
I had some difficulty getting the loops to flow together but I began using the envelope tool which faded the loop in or out making them flow better. This beat includes five different loops. The first loop is combined with the second and they are: Chile Con Chillin and Dnb Loops. The next loop that is used is the 808 beat, which flows into the trance loop. The beat ends with beat 808 TR.
Rap Beat
For this song i found a bass loop and kept it all the way through and used about 5 other higher pitched loops to go over the bass loop to give it more effect.
Last Nights at Home
This is a long, ambient piece I created using a couple different slices of audio (the heartbeat, the music box, and the background music). I added the sounds of the rain and thunder using Garage Band, and the synth tones that come in about halfway I added using Garage Band as well. I hope you find it relaxing, quiet, calm, and steady. ( I used three tracks in audacity, and four more tracks in Garage band to layer the thunder and rain sounds, and to create the synth tones.) The total track length is about 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
My Beat
I used the loops: Mafia Hip Hop 64753, Hip Hop Beat 5506, Euro Siren Passby 98989, Dj Scratch 92601, Child Music Box.wav 97237 and Blues Male Vocal.mp3 44162. I think it came out pretty good for being my 2nd beat and just getting the hang of the tools.
Techno
For this techno beat i used about 15 loops and always kept a bass line in the background in order to always have at least one effect going on at one time.
Audacity
This is just something I put together. I used the record button to get clips of a movie on YouTube into a sound format (select Mono out underneath the buttons to record things that are playing on the computer). I used the noise removal effect to get rid of most of the bad noises from the camera man. At the end I took a track from Happy Gilmore. I tried to make the voices the same using the change speed and the change pitch effects, but it just came out warped.
Motherland rewrite
This is another song where I messed with the speed.

Rewind rewrite
I took one of my favorite songs and edited it. All I did was mess with the speed and it came out pretty weird.

Just trying out a couple of different ways to share mp3 files on the blog. I set up an online web hosting storage account through 4shared.com that allows audio to be embedded in Blogger.
Here are some basic instructions with a variety of online web hosting sites listed:
