Next I wrote down the time where I did each mixxx assignment at. Later I used the crossfader in each song into one to create one recording with all three songs.

I decided to chose a easy song that goes well with the sounds I chose. The four songs I chose were a cat meowing, scratching, a click of a camera, and a drum beat. I also chose a specific spot in the song for each sound.
