Resource Type:

Duration:
3 minutes

How to Mess Up a Piece of Music
Instructors may choose to observe learners complete this task as the evaluation method.

Procedure:
In a mono recording what you hear in the left ear is exactly what is heard in the right ear. There is one single channel of sound. In a stereo recording there are two separate channels of sound – one for the left and one for the right. Audacity lets you work in both mono and stereo.

To configure Audacity to record in mono or stereo you need to make a simple adjustment. On the toolbar of Audacity you will find a pull-down menu that lets you choose between mono and stereo.
