Pitbull Soundslide




Here's the Soundslide I made using the slides from my Pitbull presentation. It was a fairly simple process, only requiring me to change the format of my music and create pictures out of my slides.

What worked about this presentation is the same thing that worked during my Pitbull PowerPoint presentation, since it is practically identical. My favorite aspect was the backgrounds on the slides. Since I got to make my own slides, they were really appropriate for my musical artist, as well as creative and fun. I also liked how the Soundslide had a movie like quality. I think this works well with the music.

Something that didn't work quite as well with this project was the music. Though I was able edit a 30 second clip of a Pitbull song, I wish that I incorporated lyrics. I didn't realize that we were allowed to actually use voices in our music, and by the time I found out it was too late :(. The beat that I did use still sounds pretty good though.

The hardest thing I faced during this Soundslide was the music editing. I had never worked with any audio programs before, so it took me a long time to figure everything out. I ended up having to edit the same thing several times because I would forget to make them on a stereo track, or I would mess one thing up and have to start from scratch. It was frustrating but I'm glad that I now have a basic understanding of how to edit audio.

My favorite part, even though it was the hardest, was making a 30 second clip of a Pitbull song. Like I just mentioned, I think it's really cool that I now know how to work with audio.

If I had more time I would have tried to use Pitbull's voice in the 30 second loop. I know that it would've taken a long time to get everything to match up well, but it would've sounded really cool if I had enough time to do it.
