I am going for my second 3 days of training for Woodbadge Boy Scout Leadership (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_Badge)
Because I am gone, there will be NO tutorial this week, Aug 22.
A reminder that the Denver Local gathering will be broadcasting the sessions. One of those sessions I will be taking a song I have never looked at and taking it through the entire cycle
1) Mark song up in Audacity
2) Load song and audacity marks
3) Generate random effects
4) Improve sequence. Delete rows, modify effects, update
5) Play completed sequence on the lights in our room
Goal is to sequence a song in < 45 minutes.
So:
1) No tutorial this week
2) Join us for some various tutorials on Sat, Aug 31st.
Thanks
