"To Educate students intellectually, and morally for a life of responsibility integrity and service." //Save the recording an post it to your portfolio.//

Make sure your audio levels are as high as possible without peaking. Most software will have a **meter** so that you can measure the amount of input. If you record too soft, you will have a great deal of "headroom." When you make the sound louder, you will hear a great deal of room hiss and the sound will not be good. If you record too loud, you might "clip" and will hear a distorted clicking sound. Click here for a Soundation Diagram
