Free Music Clip & Soundfx

Monday, August 10, 2009, Daniel CK Tan

When creating your multimedia project like video, flash animation or podcast, you will need to add in sound effects, music loops for enhancements. If you are using Mac, you can use Garage Band to create your music clips or sound effects. Alternatively you can also record your own music clip or sound effects. If you are using Windows, you can download and install Audacity, which is a free audio editing software.

You may also download free music clips and sound effects under the creative commons license for your projects. Here are two good websites to start off:

Have fun with music!

Multimedia Educators' Conference

Tuesday, June 9, 2009, Daniel CK Tan

I presented a topic on my company's Multimedia Educators' Conference yesterday. All preparation for this conference presentation paid off. All went well and feedbacks has been positive. :)

My Training Manager approached me to speak during the conference in Febuary. I was reluctant not because of stage fright but because I am new to the company and this job. (I was only 5 months to the job then). After his assurance and my Admin Manager's encouragement, I took it up.

The intense preparation started about a month ago when all speakers meet at HQ for a meeting then later at the conference location for a rehearse. The week before the conference, I am occupied with fine-tuning the slides and constant reherse. This was done on top of my busy schedule in school as well as my studies at UniSA.

The day before the conference, Sunday, I spend the whole full day studying at Kaplan City Campus. That night, I worked till 2am for final preparation. Waked up at 5am to prepare to go out as I need to meet the trainers for breakfast at 7am then reach the conference location at 8am. Finally, the conference started at 9am and I presented my topic at 11am.

Had a tiring day. By the time I reached home at 7pm, I am dead tired and fell asleep immediately after dinner. I did it!!! I have presented in a conference of 80 participants! It is an achievement!!! Gratefult to my Training Manager for the opportunity and my Admin Manager for the encouragement! :)

Here are the slides to my presentation:
