    Audacity

    One of our ICT Teachers is about to teach Audacity to the kids and has asked me if I can get some sound clips for them to use with their recordings.

    I searched the C drive to get the Microsoft Office ones etc but they aren't long enough, she is looking for around 1min.

    They can be all differnet types of sound clips, does anyone have any they can send or a link to websites?

    Cheers

    Try this site for creative commons sounds

    http://www.freesound.org/browse/

    It's good fun finding quite specific stuff. For instance "Close field recording of medium ambient waves crushing on the shore of Kalundborg Fjord at Røsnæs." = no problem

    Nothing in perticular, I've been told they are going to make adverts, so background sounds or little bits that can go inbetween speaking would be great.

    Make sure you have your glove puppets on hand. You'll soon have to explain to him why he can't download stuff off iTunes/YouTube.

    Don't know if any of these have been mentioned already, but here are a few free sources:

    ccMixter
    The Freesound Project
    Gratisvibes
    Groovy Loops
    opsound
    Royalty-Free Music - requires a subscription to download
    SoundBible

    They should keep any music teacher going for a while!

    One of our teacher is trying to teach sarcasm.
