Audacity First Narration Project: Part 5

Paragraph-
For this part of the project I had to use the Auto-Duck effect which lowers the volume of the song so you can hear my voice. This part of the project wasn't hard and it was very easy to do. I think that the Auto-Duck helped the recording a lot because in the 4th part of the project you can hear my voice but the music was all in the same volume and in this part the music actually lowers when you hear my voice.


DEFINITIONS-
Batch Processing- Automation of a series of repetitive tasks on a computer so that the tasks run without manual intervention.
