Software

I first considered using the program WavePad to record my podcast episode, but discovered that without a microphone the sound wasn’t as clear as I wanted it to sound. I am conducting an interview and need both voices to stay consistent throughout the recording. If the voices aren’t recorded in an equal or similar volume it makes the conversation difficult to listen to. I want, not only the content, but the sound to be enjoyable to listen to. So, instead of using WavePad on my MacBook Pro,  I will use my iPhone’s voice memo application. Our voices will sound better with this software because we are able to control the distance of the microphone to our mouths more closely and precisely. After we record the interview on my phone, I will upload the file and edit it on the program Audacity. It is free, easy to download and highly commented on on the internet. Although I haven’t used it before, or anything like it, there are easy-to-follow tutorials online and we are also having a demonstration in class on how to use it. I feel confident that I will be able to create my podcast with both of these software programs, despite how awful my voice sounds in a recording.
