Audacity for the DJ in You

Not everyone who enjoys creating their own mixed music sounds is a full-fledged DJ. On the other hand, you don’t always have to be stuck with the versions that Ares Galaxy provides for you. Often even the most simple ideas can be enhanced by using the cool options that the Audacity download provides. So what exactly could you use it for?

Make Grandma a mixed audio birthday greeting that includes your voice, singing one of her favorite oldies
Create your own wild and wacky ringtones instead of paying a company who may have used Audacity to make theirs anyway
Create your own party tunes so that when party time arrives, you aren’t stuck in the DJ booth while everyone else enjoys your hard work, and musical talents
Being a DJ means you have to do anything and everything you can to avoid dead air. Use Audacity to remove those dead spots and keep the party jumping
You can take a pre-recorded live version of any song and remove the cheers, screams, and other unrelated noise to create your own sound booth sounding audio
Create your own listen-while-you-wait tune for your cell phone callers
That isn’t all you can do with Audacity. As a DJ, if you are trying to advertise yourself and your skills in hopes of attaining a higher paying or more enjoyable position, try creating your own DJ demo tape with Audacity. The filter options and settings will give even an extremely novice user the help and skills they need to create audio masterpieces that sound straight out of Hollywood.

In addition, do not forget all of the options Audacity offers. Who is to say that you can’t be the next most skilled DJ of the year? Perhaps even create your own original mix that could be the next top hit. Need another idea? Try creating video game music. There is a hot industry that allows for everyday users to submit original soundtracks to include in up and coming video games.

Will this so called “range anxiety problem” around electric vehicles stifle the awesome potential at hand?

Will this so called “range anxiety problem” around electric vehicles stifle the awesome potential at hand? Time will only tell but this article brings up some very good points on why the electric vehicle buzz might not turn into serious numbers in sales. Hey, Who wants to worry about running out of juice as that will really take the charge out of sales while hybrids can kick into traditional gas power and keep cruising for hundreds of miles!

From the Wall Street Journal:

Hong Kong had its worst-ever year in terms of roadside pollution in 2010, according to government data. It also hosts the world’s highest traffic density, says the Clear the Air, a local antipollution organization. But despite rising concern over roadside pollution levels and a government campaign to get consumers and companies to adopt zero-emissions vehicles, electric cars aren’t yet creating much spark.

Mitsubishi, EuAuto and Tesla each offer an electric car to Hong Kong consumers to replace gasoline-powered ones, but so far, there have been few takers. As of Dec. 31, just 70 electric cars were registered in Hong Kong. Twenty-two of those are part of the government fleet and include electric golf cart-like vehicles. The other about 600,000 automobiles emit hazardous pollutants.

The government’s Environmental Protection Department says transport pollution accounts for 82% of Hong Kong’s carbon monoxide emissions. Furthermore, the University of Hong Kong released a Jan. 19 study linking low visibility due to air pollution to risk of mortality.
