Sept 23rd

Talk about format (AIFF - WAV - SND - MP3 - MOV)- (want to get a little more technical? check EM )

Why use Wiretap? Easy to record any audio that plays through computer (sounds on website / skype / chats...) - Simple Editing with SImple FX - File Format Conversion-

Example of Sites and Procedures to Follow:

• Sounds do not seem to be downloadable: use Wiretap - Example http://www.spacesounds.com/home/index.html
• Sounds are downloadable: Go to http://www.sonami.net/Articles/Reader&%20LINKS/Resources_SFX.html (for example), and click on http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/inspire.html - Play Sferics MP3 and " Save as onto your desktop" - You can then covert the .mov file to AIFF using Amadeus (open in Amadeus - Save as AIFF)
• Also check the sounds from some of the sites listed in http://www.sonami.net/Articles/Reader&%20LINKS/Resources_AcEcology.htm (for example: <http://earth.wildsanctuary.com >)
• Check the Freesound project!
