Now that we have removed all of the imperfections in our recording, let’s make it a bit more interesting by adding some background music.
Note
Although it's tempting to rip our students' chart-topping favorites off a CD and add them to our podcast, copyright rules just don't allow us to do this. We can have up to 30 seconds of professional music, but if our track is long, it's safer (and nicer for our students) to record and use music they've made themselves. Alternatively, we can go to the Creative Commons web site, http://creativecommons.org, and search for a suitable music track there.
Let's assume that for Jamie's poem we have a music file already created for us by one of the music classes. It should end in .mp3
or .wav
. What next?
