It took a little playing around but after a few minutes I felt pretty comfortable with the layout of the site and was ready to record. The hardest part was trying to figure out what to record and since I dislike recording my own voice I chose the first thing that was available. Below is a 30 second clip of my son playing a game on his Ipod touch. He is uncharactaristically quiet but the sound came out pretty good.
Of all the tools we have learned so far Sound Cloud will probably be teh one I end up using the least. While I can see the value of being able to record and share audio for presentations I found it dificult to embed the audio into a google doc or power point slide. It was quick and easy to share the audio via Facebook or embed in the blog and I may use it from time to time for personal reasons but probably not so much for professional purposes.
With that being said I do like some of the features like being able to record feed back for tracks. The dash board is pretty easy to navigate and teh tutorial was pretty helpful. Who knows maybe after playing around a little more I may change my mind and find a few uses for this site after all.
