Recordings Conversation Charts

Directions Sign on to computer while your partner picks up a microphone from Sra. Kermode. Do not fully unwind the microphone cord when plugging it in to the front of your computer (next to where the headphones go). Open audacity AFTER you’ve plugged in your microphone. Click the record button (red circle) to test your microphone. If your microphone does not work, raise your hand and wait for Mrs. Kermode to help you, or ask another student to check that you’ve done the instructions correctly so far.

Using Audacity Hit the red circle to start and the yellow square to stop recording. Click anywhere on your recording and push the play button to play from the that spot. To delete, you can either click the x button on the left hand side of the screen (will delete entire audio track) or you can click and highlight the portion of your recording that you would like to delete.
