Me...

Hello, my name is Sebastian, I was born in Puerto Vallarta. I have been here since I was a little baby. My parents are Victoria "Vicky" and Benjamin, I have only one brother and sister, my brother's name is Emilio, he is eleven years old, and my sister Andrea which is sixteen years old, and at least but very important my first dog, he is a chihuahua named Toy and he is seven years old. I have only lived in two houses and both are in front of the Malecon. The one that I'm living in is above my family's jewelry "Ole" and my father's restaurant "Paradise Burger" so my house has three levels!

I passed all my kindergarten and primary in "British American School", I have very good memories about all my experiences in that school. Then, in my first year of Junior High I moved to the "Vancouver School", it is not a very good school but I was there waiting for a place in the "American School". Now I'm in my second year of Junior High. I'm in the "American School"; truly this is the best school I have ever been.

I play soccer since I was a little boy. I usually practiced in the "Lefut" or "Penalty" fields, but now I don't play any sport. Sometimes I go the a soccer field near my house and play for a while. I usually spent my time doing homework, be some with my friends, play video games (I think is very bad to play that things), or using my computer.

Listening

For my Audacity Project I used only war sound effects, the sound effect I use most were shots. Today, everybody listen mostly all the created songs like for two minutes each one,They create and use their own effects, mostly they use their mouth or hands. Other make some beatboxing. Only a few things I couldn't do, like to be more creative, make my own sounds.


Like I already said, today I listen almost all Audacity Projects. All were very good but for me, the beatboxing songs were the best ones. Everybody were very creative, they use all kind of sounds and all sounds like remixes. Someone's Project were not too good because they didn't put effort in this, but I can see that almost everybody put a lot of effort doing this project.

Audacity

Mr. Picketts asked us to make a song wth minimun 90 seconds and max. 180. The song must be made by our own sounds or get some free sounds from internet (www.partnersinrhyme.com). We had more than a to do the audacity file. First I think to copy a little part of a song and add some sounds, and I did it but I copy the song many times to make it larger and I added some war sounds, because my theme was war. I think I did a great job and I have very good results. At first it was difficult and frustaring but then I understand it and it was easy. I really don't know who will be the winner. I think everyone have a very good song. Next time I would do it with my own personalized sounds.

Mash-Ups

During a week each student have to do a Mash up song using Audacity, for some people it was difficult to understand it but later it come easy. Mr. Picketts assign us a team, my team members are: Hope, Ximena, Priscila, Marifer, Mahonry, and me. Everybody have to hear their parters mash ups and give an opinion. When we heard all the mash ups, the one I like most was Mahonry Mash ups because he use some song I like it and you can see that he put some effort in this assigment.


Making my Mash Up was difficult at first because I didn't know how to use audacity, but I asked my friends and they told me how to use it, but unfortunately in my computer I don't have the album with the songs, I don't care that for at all. I use the exsorcist song and I put some good effects, I think I could put more effort because I'm not comfortable with my Mash up
