Record Your MusicFollow this simple instructions to create a sound file in Scratch of your musical performance.
Sounds can be recorded, imported, edited, exported and modified in the Scratch 2.0 sound editor. It provides simple options to edit an existing sound for many benefits. Note: When recording sound, it may be helpful to turn the volume up a little bit in the Sound Editor before recording. Turning up the volume will make it easier for Scratchers to hear the sound recorded when a project is launched. |

Edit the RecordingThe "edit" menu contains tools to edit the sound. It has: undo, redo; cut, copy, paste; delete, select all. Undo will undo the most recent action; redo will redo it if it was undone. Cut, copy, and paste work with Scratch's own sound clipboard; it does not copy to the system's clipboard, nor can it paste in external sounds. Delete deletes the selected sound fragment. Select all selects the entire soundtrack. Individual sections can be selected by dragging the mouse over them.
