Please come to class prepared to use the time effectively to edit your podcast. WARNING: When you are working with an audio file on audacity, or need to close it, and continue to work on it later, go to “Save Project as..”. You’ll find that you have two files : [Project Name].aup and [Project Name]_data (folder). [Project Name]_data is a folder with all the data for the .aup file. This saves the layers of audio files for your podcast. [Project Name].aup runs the _data folder. Without the _data folder, it can not run. NOTICE : Make sure you have both the .aup file and the _data folder (as you need both for the audacity file to run with your work) backed up to the Student H: drive or a Google Drive. FINISHED? Go to “Export as…” and select MP3 format. If you save it, it will render the file inaccessible to view. The .aup file is the project work file, not the finished product. Make sure not to select “Export Selected Audio”, as that would exclude a part of the audio or possibly next to all of the audio....
