Software and Hardware

Hello

            For my podcast, I will be using Audacity for both my recording and editing needs. I have used it briefly before, very minimally in recording but quite a bit for sound editing music. For me, it is an easy software to get into and perform well in. For this project, I know it will fill my needs perfectly. I have tried Adobe Audition before and although it can outperform Audacity, it takes time to master.

            Honestly, the easiest way to understand how Audacity works is to just sit down and play around with it. However, to remove audio all one has to do is highlight the audio they wish to remove and simply delete it. Almost like a word document when you highlight the words you wish to remove and simply press delete. Same principle, the only difference being that you’re looking at a sound wave instead of words.

            If you’re looking to download Audacity, here’s a link.

            If you’re looking for helpful guides, outside of videos, for Audacity check this page.

            I have recorded my voice and I’m happy with the quality of the sound. Everything technical is in check. I recently did an interview assignment where I recorded the interview and had to listen to myself, so I’m not as annoyed by my voice as before.

            Thanks for reading
