Audacity, audio mixing

Audacity many uses, one program.  Audacity is great software for recording or mixing multiple tracks.  It allows you to edit your tracks and add special effects or lay tracks together.  But that isn’t the best part.  The very nice thing about Audacity is its ability to allow you to record whatever sound is playing through your sound card. 

If you are listening to streaming music: You can record it!

If you are talking on Skype, Teamspeak or Ventrillo: You can record it!

If you just want to have a part of a song or speech: You can record it!

Which may perhaps bring up the legality issues while working with this program, but I trust you.

Teamspeak

It has come to my attention that many people have not heard of the great program Teamspeak.

Teamspeak allows you to talk to your friends over the internet for free. All you need is a microphone and someone who has a Teamspeak server. Both the client and the server are free to download and to use, and are quite simple to use. One nice thing about Teamspeak is when you install it, the speak feature is hands free. All you need to do is talk into your microphone and it will pick it up and send your voice to whomever you are chatting with. However if there is alot of background noise, TS also comes with the capabilities to set a press to talk key so you microphone isn’t constantly transfering static.

Gaim, whats all the fuss about?

Let me start by apologizing to whomever reads this… I was on vacation for the last week and a half.

Now onto the review!

This week I downloaded and tried out Gaim.

Gaim is relatively what you would expect from a multipurpose instant messaging program. It is much like Trillian except it allows you to have more types of screen names linked as can be seen in the included picture. You can link AIM/ICQ, Napster, Gadu-Gadu, and a few others.

So after selecting AIM/ICQ, I quickly filled out the form that it prompts you with the first time it starts. From there, everything was pretty easy if you have used programs like it before.

Yell and scream all you want…

I really don’t care. What are rules if they are not meant to be broken?

Yes I know that I just started this site and yes I know it is about programs but, don’t get mad, I feel that you would be missing something if you did not experience these few websites that I will be giving you.

Del.icio.us

You have probably seen a link to this site somewhere on my page or on other peoples pages if you read other blogs. Maybe you haven’t clicked it or maybe you have. Maybe you just weren’t interested in reading and trying to figure out how delicious works. Delicious is like the next best thing sinced sliced bread.

You know how when you format your computer with DBAN and everything is gone, including all those sites you added to your favorites but never checked out? Fear no more! Delicious is an online favorite saver. All you have to do is create an account and then go to town. Just log in and add the site to your favorites list and then you can access it anywhere, anytime. Or if your at home, you can put buttons on your links bar to save you some time with delicious bookmarking.

You can keep your favorites private or let them be seen by the public. It is a great way to share sites and find other sites that you would be interested in.
