My Self

Hi! My name is Francisco , but you can call me Paco as all my friends do. I am 14 years old, about to turn 15. Currently I study in the American School of Puerto Vallarta (ASPV). I have been in this school since I arravied to Puerto Vallarta, curerntly I am studying the eight grade. I live in Puerto Vallarta which is in the coast of the state of Jalisco. I have been living here since I was six years old. My birth town is Guadalajara, the seconds biggest city of Mexico.

I like to do many things during the day. For example I like to go to the gym and practice sports, like Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball. Another hobbies of mine is to practice guitar (play songs, do songs, and improvise) and listen to music. I like all music, but specially clasic rock. My favorite band is the Scorpions, classic rock group. As any other kid, I like videogames specially violent ones xD. I am a fan of the Call of Duty Series (Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is my favorite game.) Another thing I enjoy is to go the beach and chill out. Also go in the water and take a swim.

Know I am going to talk about my family. Where to start, I am the only child in my family. So eventually mi family is very small, only my parents and I, and of course my pets. One dog named Lou, a very fat beagle, and a cat, which I adopted from the street.

So this is me (:

Lisiting :D

My first paragraph will be about the effects in our music. My work in general is very good, basing in my criatiry and my class mates. In my song, I didn´t use a lot of effects. I use some, for example copying sounds and using them again further in the song. Another effect I used, was to change the speed of reproduction in some sounds. My final use of effects whas to make the sounds fade in/fade out in various time at the song. From the other song I herd, it was very notacible that, my classmates mostly used the copying effect. Their sound repeated them selfs to much, that in sometime it maded boring. The only thing I could have done was to use more effects. What I am meaning was to expiriment with the effects, have fun. Not only use the three ones I used, and this goes to the other DJ xD.

My class, in my opinion did a mediacore work. Not to good or to bad. I really liked some peoples song, but in general they waren´t to good. Some even were pathetic. What I mean with patetic, is that some people didn´t put a lot of effort to the project and it was lame. I will like to comment, that the people that didn´t do the assigment correctly or lame, shouldn´t get the same grade from the people that did it correctly and put effort to it. Another comment is that next year the expectansis and rubric should be harder so the song will be accaptable.

Final Audacity Post

This assigment has been one of the funest we have ever done in our class. In general it was fun, but I had some troubles thatr cause me to frustated and wanted to distroy my computer. The fustrating moments came when the Audacity, that i have in my computer coulnd´t open music files that warren´t MP3. This made me very mad. i think that the ColegioAmericanoIdol will be Mahonry, hi created an astanding mash-up. For me he will be the winer, but I also think that I have great chances of being the new ColegioAmericanoIdol. I did a great job.
This is ColegioAmericanoIdol!!!!!

I totally think that you should do it next year, I am 100% sure that the next 8th Graders will love to make their own remix.

Mash Up

My Group Members are:
1) Raul
2) Arianne
4) Sofia
5) Feris

My team definitely did fantastic job in their mash ups. In Raul's remix, it is notice right away that he put a lot of effort to it, he did a great job. For Arianne, I didn't get to hear her remix beacuse she didn't do it D: Sofia did a fantastic job. She use famous songs , which make it better, plus she put a lot of effort to it. I think she was the best of our group. Feris, also did a fantastic job. She also use current music, which make it better like Sofia. Even though it was noticeable that she didn't put a lot of effort.

Regarding to me, my Mash up SUCKED. I admit that I could have done a better job than which I did. I feel that I didn´t use proper music to creat a good remix. Also my songs didn´t match. What I mean, is that one was rock (Beat It) and chill music (Viollent Hiil). If we do another project with Audacity, I will totally put a lot more effort.
