"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. All in all you want to make sure that you have selected the editing tab at the bottom right and if you come up to the audio effects tab at the top right from here you can add some affects to your audio. You can do this either to built in audio track in your clip or to other sounds you've imported. To use these just select one you want to apply and if click preview it will give you a preview of what that sounds like. I'm going to click on reverb and that adds a little reverb to my audio. It has some presets and also manually come in and adjust some of these settings and you got a lot different things from a graphic EQ to adding a delay if you want some echoes. I'm going to go ahead and drag in an mp3 of a xylophone which we used earlier. I'm going to turn that up and turn my audio track down. You can also apply these to sounds you import. So, I'm going to select pitch changer and you can select from here and you can select sounds higher or lower. If I preview it here, that's at regular speed if I take that up to chipmunks it's going make it higher. When ever your ready you can just click apply and that's going to make the changes permanent on your sound clip and when I play it back you can see it's applied the effects to my audio."
