Hi! My name is Paola. I'm an eight grade student in a private school in Puerto Vallarta. I'm fourteen years old. I'm a very open girl who likes to meet new people. I'm actually very friendly. On the weekends I like to hang out with my friends. Go to the beach, the movies or hang out at their houses. Being with them is amazing because we have a lot of fun. We laugh about dumb things, but its amazing to spend time with them. My best friends are Debora, Ximena, Adriana, Sofia, Hope, and Courtney. All of them go to my school, and in my same classroom.

Class Projects

Today in the class we heard very interesting projects. To be honest some of them were great and some of them not very great. They had a variety of sound effects which they were pretty amazing! I heard a couple and I liked the remixes. Songs and lyrics were mixed and that made an spectacular rhythm. Although some of them were very creative they very repetitive. They were sound effects that last like 40 seconds wich is a big amout of time. They should be like 15 or 10 maximum. There was a sound effect that most of the people in the class used. They all raped. which I though it was vry cool. They started raping and when you listened the song it sounded like a real rap song. I don't really want to say names but the one i like the most was Rodrigo's. Hes projects simply was wonderful. It was creative, it has an amazing rhythm and very unique. The projects i saw yesterday were pretty good actually andi'm very proud of the craftmanship of my class.

Listening

In my audacity project I used many different sounds. I tried to based more in ocean sounds because I wanted something relaxing. But then i realized that i would be better if i recorded sounds and tried to make more noise. The one that I used the most was the sounds I recorded. I made different rap sounds, singing and others, but definitely the one that was more repetitive was the singing part. On the other hand most of my classmates didn't recorded much, they based more in sounds. Something i could have put more background sounds. Although my project was great!

Audacity Project

My audacity project was adequate and outstanding. I thought I could have done a better work. Some of the sounds I recorded were a bit lame. Although I like the remix I did. I mixed the sounds I recorded and the different kind of noises. First I started with a background which was the sound of seashore. It gave a very relaxing sound, that make me remember my summer vacation. I used a variety of background sounds like for example gulls, carpenter and wind sounds. The others, I recorded them. I made rap and i also sang. I think that the rap part was the best. Mahonry my classmate helped me a little, and we did an amazing rhythm and beat. On my opinion I thought it was kind of hard, because i tried to make a good rhythm and a beat and sometimes it didn't worked how I wanted. If i could guess who will be the winner it will be Mahonry. I think hes project is very creative and actually is very fun! i love how he mixed the song disturbia, and then he recored some sounds. My project from audacity was pretty interesting and cool.

My mash up (Mine)

My mash was very creative. I did it of scary songs, because I love terror. I thought it was a very original idea because the rhythm was very cool. I changed the tone in the songs, and it sounded very creepy. It sounded like your were acutally in a hounted house. I tried to used songs that are used in scary movies wich I thought it was very original. What I think i could
improved was in the songs, althought they were good they were a little boring i think. My group was getting a lit bit annoyed. Seriously I loved mine and I was very proud!

Mash Up Groups

I really liked my group member project. Pedro Pablo, Jorge, Fer and Taku did and amazing job.
I enjoyed Fer's a lot because she used two songs one in remix and the other one was normal. It had a lot a sound and very good rhythm, i wanted to dance because the rhythm was very cool. Taku's was very fun too. He did of scary songs, which remind me a lot a of Halloween. He used songs like
"The Exorcist" and others. I really liked the tone of the songs, and the way they put two songs at the same time. Pedro's was good too. He was very creative in his songs. Jorge was awesome. He used many different effects in the songs and changed the rhythm completly. My group was awesome they did great mashes!
