Sounds should be either .wav or .mp3 files, or they won't play in your mediascape.

1. Create folder

First you'll need to create a new folder on your computer's desktop to save your mediascape sound files in, if you haven't got one already.

To do this, click with your right mouse button on the desktop and choose New, and then click Folder.

2. Name the folder

Type a folder name that is meaningful to you (such as 'sounds').

Select and copy all the sound files you have worked on.

Paste your files into the folder you created.

3. Test your sounds

Open the program Audacity on the desktop.

Go to File and then Open, then browse to the folder where your sound files are.

Select the sound file (a .wav or .mp3 file) you want to test.

Click the Play button to hear your sound

If you are not happy with the sound, go back to the 'Cutting sounds' or 'Recording sounds' instructions.

4. Export sound file

Once you are happy with the sounds you've recorded, you should save them, and export them as a .wav or .mp3 file using the Audacity program.

Click on File, and choose Export as WAV or Export as MP3. (DON'T click on 'Save Project as').

5. Choose file location

Now find the folder you created for your mediascape files.

Click Browse and select Desktop, then find the folder.

A box appears, and in 'Filename' type in the name you want to call the sound file.

Sounds should be either .wav or .mp3 files, or they won't play in your mediascape, so make sure you select the 'type' you want from the drop-down list in Save as type.

Now click Save
