For this course you will need a computer running Windows, macOS or Linux, a pair of headphones and internet connection. We will use the open-source video conferencing tool Jitsi throughout the workshop. You will receive a link to the video chat from the administration. Open it up in your web browser, and you should be good to go. No need to create an account or sign in.

Software

Before we start, please download and install the free and open source sound editor Audacity. This easy-to-use program will enable you to record your own sounds as well as deal with existing recordings.

Mac users should follow the instructions on this page to install the program.

Windows users should click here, and scroll down until you find the latest version of Audacity for Windows 64. Click on this one. Launch the downloaded .exe file and follow the instructions.

Linux users can use their distribution's package manager to install Audacity. On Arch Linux enter this in a terminal:

sudo pacman -S audacity

and you're done.
