I decided for my Final Audio Story, to make some adjustments to the cuts. I created 10 seconds of silence in voice recorder and moved it to my second track in audition, and created more space in between the interview to create more smooth transition. 

My peers advised me to lay a soundtrack of music. I selected Gameloop.wave from the Freesound site. I liked the upbeat sound of it. I think it was good background music. I downloaded it and dragged to my files window in audition.Then I dragged it to the fourth track, then duplicated the music track to make sure it was long enough to cover my interview with Dusty. I did some editing to it the music track too. I played around with the volume and tried to make sure my music track didn’t overshadow my interview with Dusty. While it’s not perfect, it was an authentic interview and a challenging and rewarding process. Because I had more time to meet my 2 minutes, as my actual interview piece was about 1:15, I added more music track to give a nice introduction and nice transition to the conclusion. 

I learned how to make the wave-form larger in order to make editing more precise. Adjusting the decibel levels on the two tracks was a learning process. I really over all like the way this turned out! Over all, this is a time consuming process. I found myself changing my mind a lot. For example, what music track should I use? It’s really interesting to me how many different tracks people have contributed to Freesound.com. There is a lot of different options and it took time to decide what will mix well with my story. It’s been fun using AU, Freesound, and soundcloud. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you for listening.
