Making Music

Tools for Audio Creation & Editing

Music is the language of the soul. There’s something about it that can transcend our differences to touch us all at a deep level. Music is also fun. How many of us sing in the shower because it feels good, even if we can’t carry a tune in a bucket?

Would you like to know how you can use your computer or smartphone to make a little music? Or perhaps you have recorded some audio— someone speaking, singing, or playing an instrument—and you need to edit it. This month’s Mountain View Computer Users Group meeting is the place to learn how. With an Apple device you can use GarageBand to make your own tunes even if you don’t know anything about music. It’s easy to get started editing audio on your Mac or PC with free tools like GarageBand and Audacity.

Join us at the Cochise College Downtown Center, 2600 E. Wilcox Drive in Sierra Vista, room G106, from 9:00 a.m. to noon to find out how easy it can be to make music and/or edit recorded audio. Coffee, donuts, pastries, and bagels are free, but we appreciate your donations to help offset MVCUG expenses.

All meetings are recorded and available for members online. If you are a paid member you will receive an email with the video link two to three weeks after the meeting.
