Sonic Foundry Acid Style .02**
By Sarah
Garden Springs Elementary
Mrs. Waldrop’s Home Room

I did my essay on a program called Sonic Foundry Acid Style .02.** This program enables you to create your own music piece on the computer. You can choose the beat, the instruments, you can even decide how long to play the instrument. The best part is it’s all neatly organized on your screen. If you have the right attachments you can also record your voice and play it back in your music.

The steps to creating your own music are very simple. First you get a blank document. Then all you do is go to the left side of the screen and click on one of the folders. (The folders contain many different instrument sounds and pitches.) Or you may download different sounds from the internet. After your finished browsing, select one of the instruments by clicking on it. You will then see something appear in the top left hand box. You should see a large arrow in a small box, next to another box that says the name of your instrument.  Next click on the spot you would like your sound to come in. Drag your sound over as far as you like. This will indicate how long that sound will last. You should then have a rectangle or square that is color coated on your music. You have done the work so now you want to hear it right? Well if you want to then click the small arrow pointing right. It’s located on the top tool-bar. You will then see a long, skinny bar roll across the screen. When it gets to the measure with your sound in it then you should hear the music.

If you ever have a chance to experience this program, I hope you refer back to this essay. However, if this essay doesn’t answer all your questions then try to contact Jeff Jones. I hope you enjoyed my essay on Sonic Foundry Acid Style .02.**

**NOTE: Sonic Foundry Acid is now distributed as Sony Acid.

Stonewall Students Advertise their STLP Project

We are members of STLP! Wait, what is STLP? It stands for Student Technology Leadership Program. We learn about computers and how to operate digital cameras. Now, we bet you’re wondering who’s in STLP. Any fifth grader who is interested in technology was chosen at the beginning of the year. Currently, we are making backpack tags for students to purchase at the Stonewall bookstore. The backpack tags have the school’s name and address on them. They are available in six different designs ranging from a Stonewall stallion to a school to a basketball player. Don’t forget to stop at the bookstore and purchase one of these awesome backpack tags!
